Warpaints Fanatic and the Only New Paint Set That Actually Matters
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 มิ.ย. 2024
- Warpaints Fanatic is the next generation of acrylic paint from The Army Painter. In this video, we go deep on the 11-bottle starter set to really get to know these paints on a whole bunch of different models. Starter sets are super important for people who are learning to paint minis, so it's actually these small boxes that really matter! I paint the knight from the box, some warhammer 40k space marines, a dinosaur from one page rules, warhammer fantasy goblins, orcs, dwarves, and beyond!
Spoilers, the new paint is MUCH better than the previous warpaint from the army painter, and this affordable little kit is quite useful! :-) These starter kits help to recruit for our hobby, and I'd like to see these in every nerdy and crafty store.
disclosure- I received this paint kit (and others) as a free sample ahead of release. I have a friendly relationship with some employees at The Army Painter. I do not have a financial relationship with the army painter.

GOSH DARN it Brent!!!! Once again we had the same idea for a video... I'm halfway through production on my version now and you can expect it to go live this weekend OOPS >_
lol. lmao.
@@GoobertownHobbies Im sorry😭😭😭 I'll edit out the parts where we cover the same thing and just reccomend my viewers come view yours for the more in depth painting demo ;) ;) ;)
@@DanaHowl I look forward to your take on this as well. Excited to see the video.
Don't worry, us painting geeks like to see all the perspectives. Especially from the two of you!
They're both good. Spread the message of approachable painting.
Awww, you called us "cordial." Everything about this set was designed with you and your audience in mind. We're confident that this Starter set will be a great way for many beginners to enter into this amazing hobby and also a great, affordable way for avid gamers and painters to give the new range a whirl! Thank you for all of your feedback, Brent!
I would never have come back to this hobby without your products! I happily preordered the full Fanatic set after falling in love with the Speedpaint set! Can't wait! Keep on making awesome stuff and supporting creators like Brent, and TAP can never go wrong!
I've been given a two bottle preview of Fur Brown and Marine Mist from my FLGS and let me tell you, the coverage (thinned with ~30% Glaze Medium) is bonkers. You've really produced some top notch insane value colours there!
Thank you guys for continuing to improve your products and not just resting on your laurels.
Recommendation: name a shade of green "Goobertown Green" also a shade of blue called "You'll sea, you'll all sea"
I also appreciate a good cordial. Lemon or raspberry, preferably
The fact that they actually include primer in their starter set shows a lot about it actually being a starter set. Well played Army painter, well played.
I really appreciate you advocating for the practical paint names. As a protanopia color-blind person it makes painting soooo much easier!
It's helpful for the rest of us too! ;-)
I think you'll really appreciate their nice and thick Peanut Butter green paint! 😜
Yes 100% I love mini painting and am very colourblind (pretty severe protan also). So I often just want to know what the colour actually is and it's a huge bonus to be able to see easily which colours are prematched as highlights/shades. War colours does this nicely but I don't like the gel medium. This seems promising and I really hope Vallejo goes this way too
I love how thoughtful you are about the realities of the average hobby painter.
Completely agree with you on your thoughts about starter sets, it can be so intimidating for people who are interested in minis to go into a shop and see the thousands of paint shades and such like. Little starter sets with a brush and minis is fantastic. I hope that manufacturers take note and make more starter kits with paints that are true single pigments so they can be mixed true. Having blue and yellow mix to a weird green grey can also be really baffling for newbies who know nothing of paint base pigments. Thanks for bringing this up Brent, as ever, you are an inspiration!
right on! I think a lot of paints will at least need to have white as a second pigment for opacity, but yeah, I wish mixing ability was closer to what we get taught in elementary art classes. If they swapped the ultramarine blue for something closer to a pseudo primary like "~magic blue" it'd be a better color wheel. Still, not bad, not bad 🙂
@@GoobertownHobbies I want the colors and labled as if I bought a set of artist paints, and they would mix ( color wise) just like the artist paints, and the full common set of them also. Naples yellow, Burnt Umber ULTRAMARINE BLUE and so forth. THose are the colors I want to see in a set, then I can have a clue on how to mix colors ( not that Im good at it) but I can look at a artist color chart and know how to get the color I want.
Every day you upload is a happy day. I am currently working on my nighthaunt army and love to play your videos in the background.😊
have fun painting them ghosts! :-)
Thanks. It's my first army
I wholeheartedly agree that more TH-camrs should do reviews or series using basic starter kits.
It is so daunting as a new painter trying to find a scheme for an army and watching content creators go through 50 different paints from 5 different brands to show how to pain a box of Tyranids…
Thank you for this👍
It's not exclusively daunting for new painters only.... 🙂
this is exactly the kind of thing that will get new people into a hobby
I never touched a brush in my life and yet I can't stop watching your videos.
I'm really proud of The Army Painter for listening and going for it. They hit a homerun in my book. Even though I have TONS of paint, I'm going to purchase their complete kit. I started with them and I'd love to continue with them. I haven't seen one Pro Painter put this new recipe down. #thearmypainter @TheArmyPainter
i do like that label they use for these paints.
Always a great day when Brent puts a video up. ❤
One of the Reaper starter kits was how I first got into this hobby. I don't think I would have made it past the barrier of entry without that first kit.
Definitely agree they're super important on-ramp tools.
I was *very* impressed by the coverage of that yellow. Thanks for the video Brent!
This is how I will be dipping my Toes in the Fanatic waters for sure. Excellent changes from a receptive company trying to do it right. ❤
Great look at this starter set! I think you hit the right balance in disclosing your relationship with The Army Painter Brent! I think it's a win-win when active youtubers participate in the product development too!
I can see getting a kit for my daughter. She's used mine stuff in the past but I'm protective of my pricey paints. Her having her own to do whatever she wants with would be ideal. Good stuff, Brent!
0:21 - 0:39 may be the best 20 seconds on TH-cam. PURE GOLD Brent.
Hehehehehe
😂😂
Wrong. Clearly the greatest 10-ish seconds of this video is at 19:33 - 19:43.
Oh man I have these old shitty warpaints and those 20 seconds made me laugh out loud and die a little inside 😂
I always used to recommend the reaper starter sets but you had to get both of them to get all the paints you need to begin with. I am going to start recommending this set as it gives you all the colours you need. One box gives you the paints, primer, brush and mini.
I really appreciate your attention to detail (as always) but also your focus on diversity. Skin tones are a huge spectrum, and you are always an ally here.
Some notes on colour mixing.
Our eyes have receptors for red, green, and blue (each receptor being sensitive to a certain wavelength of light). But paint is reflective so when light hits it reflects certain wavelengths and absorbs others. Red, green, and blue are the primary colors if you have a source of light (like a monitor). Paint doesn't emit light so there the primary colors are actually magenta, cyan, and yellow.
So mixing red and blue paint doesn't make a good purple as you're mixing secondary colors together (red being magenta + yellow and blue being magenta + cyan). Incidentally, this is also how printers work (the whole CMYK thing). For purple, you should go something like three parts magenta and two parts cyan.
And yes, we were all lied to in elementary school about colors and paint.
So for a starter paint set where you would be expected to mix paint, the set of colors should be a rather strange one (as cyan and magenta are way more rarely used than red and blue). So I understand why Army Painter didn't go this route.
yupyup! without mixing, cyan and magenta are waaaaay less useful to most people than blue and red, so it makes sense why the company went with "pseudo primaries"... but even so, the choice of blue hue wasn't great... Someday a brave mini painting company will launch a starter box with CMYK :-)
@@GoobertownHobbies That blue is picked to look like Macragge blue from citadel, and that's a multi pigment monster which covers well, but only mixes OK towards highlights, and you better use something like ice yellow.
It's great to see that Army Painter is implementing some of your concerns while improving on their paint line. I'm still disappointed by their Speed Paint 1.0 issues after buying the set but glad they're improving. As always you present the content in a clear, easy to understand way and I appreciate the positivity your videos have. Cheers
I like that you used the starter set and not the HUGE box that is out of reach for most of us.
This will definitely be my go-to video for anyone looking to try the hobby. Keep spreading the good word of mini-painting brother!
right on! keep spreading the word :-)
The strength of the color is a nice addition I didn't know I'd need. Thanks for the suggestion you did.
I've used Gundam fine markers, for blacklining. Or eyes.
A brown fine marker works well for lettering.
Another banger of a video Brent. I would like to specifically give you massive kudos for mentioning the disclosure that your did. Big respect
His tone is so relaxing and he paints so lovely. I truly enjoy these videos. Thank you.
Really excited for these boxes to finally come out. I pre-ordered the complete set at my FLGS and justified it by donating all of my current paints (probably around 200) to a Warhammer youth league. Now I can trick myself into framing buying the full set as a charitable donation 😅
very tricky! your old paints are gonna get put to good use, and you get some brand new paints, enjoy! :-)
I love you Brent. Your message in this video is so pertinent to the hobby. You're the only "influencer" I've seen that highlighted the starter set and that means a lot to me.
Thank you for the brilliant idea for having them adding a model into thus kit! This starter kit is a god send for new painters like me!
Thanks Brent, I got started with your tutorials and appreciate your focus on helping new painters
The new labels are amazing, I love them. I am slightly obsessed with fitting in AK Fusion Orange on minis. It's remarkable. Very pumpkin orange.
Hullo Brent, It is always a great day when you post painting videos! So thanks! I do enjoy seeing you work and passing it along to those I have convinced to get some mini's and try growing this hobby, so Thanks!
Practical paint names! Incredibly helpful for those of us with color vision deficiencies. Good on ya for banging that drum and good on Army Painter for including them.
Basic, but again… that’s the entire point of a little starter box like this. I know I didn’t have a million paints when I first started out. Your entire conclusion is absolutely on point, and it’s a solid review of the product.
Great video and demonstration! Thank you very much for making it!
You're awesome Brent. Thank you for giving Army Painter detailed feedback, and thank you Army Painter for listening! I especially like the practical names.
Very glad to see this. I'm quite keen on getting this starter set myself, so I am glad for your review. Thanks!
it's a pretty good box, give it a try, I hope you have fun painting! :-)
Happy to see you post!
My complete set just came in yesterday, looking forward to painting some stuff tonight
oh nice! have fun :-)
This is a great video for beginners! I’m excited for some of these paints to hit stores too!
Great video, highly relevant to newbies and veterans alike. Thanks!
wow 11 paints for a starter kit is fantastic. especially since it covers the primary colors that lets you mix basically everything else. awesome.
it's a good kit! The blue strays a bit too far from "primary blue," but other than that it's pretty dang good! :-)
Thanks for sharing this video with us. There's definitely many different paint brands out there for the starting hobbyist to buy and use on his or her miniatures. Your video will help them decide which color paints to use.
Your videos are there own universe of relaxing. I love your voice. I love your teaching methods. I love your tempo. You're energy is full of love and passion. Thank you deeply for spreading that around, and sharing your passions with us. We love you Brent!
Great video as ever Brent! Love your work. I enjoy your take on the hobby from the 'Every Man' view point.
I always appreciate your takes on paints. In fact, you have inspired me to dive into airbrushing again. I'll be sure to pick up some of these from the fanatic line.
I am beyond excited for this set to hit my flgs. Thank you for such a wonderful review.
This man really got Army Painter to add IUPAC names to their paints.
hehehehe
always a good day when goobertown uploads
thanks for checking it out :-)
Great video Brent. I've been keeping an eye on various reviews of these paints. You did a wonderful job with this demo and I appreciate that as a consumer. Please keep up the great work. Your videos are always a pleasure. Cheers!
These minis came out great Brent. Been enjoying the content you produce for a good while. Thank you!
As a fellow dane, I hope you enjoyed your stay in our little country.
I never realized until now, but I don't think I've ever seen a painting video from someone that is left handed. It gives uncanny valley vibes.
Rofl, 0:30 to 0:45 really sums up my experience with the old color line! I had a good laugh here, thank you for that!
hehehe, I actually bought two new bottles of orc blood just to make sure I could get that shot :-)
I do love everything you do! Thanks once again!
thanks for watchin!! :-)
Wow it must be so cool to actually affect what is in kits and on the bottles in your favourite hobby. Congrats. That color naming and labelling looks fantastic.
Always nice to see your videos
Great video and definitely going to get a set to replace my war paints, thanks Brent.
Thanks for the video! I was hoping you would do a video on the fanatics line, in particular the Starter Kit.
Great video as always! Indepth and very interesting ❤
This was a fantastic review of these paints! It was a great primer that I needed to cover a demo of these paints in my FLGS. I'll be using the notes I took from this and Dana's video to share with folks in person tomorrow. Thank you for this!
That's awesome to hear! Good luck with your recruiting :-)
I started a week ago at my local lgs who did a class with their new fanatic set and omg ive loved it since and took a giant plunge
This is outstanding news! I'm so happy to hear this, keep goin keep paintin! :-)
Brent answering the questions that matter, as always. Classic Wholesometown Hobbies!
Love this video! Your comment about not needing tons of shades rings true, it reminds me of Midwinter Minis Blackstone Fortress videos, which achieved amazing results with just 14 paints (and Guy is color blind, too!). The one thing though, for novices mixing paints can be a daunting task (I mean, not just mixing randomly but achieving the intended results). Even for veterans, it's nice to have the shades premixed, I always dread having to mix the same color again and not getting it quite right...
yup yup! ~ 14 paints can take you a loooooong way. Add a few personal extra favorites and you've got a dang good palette!
Nice to see the Gloomhaven City Guard making his way in the world!
hehehe, there he is! :-)
Alright I'm just going to subscribe. I've been enjoying most of your videos
welcome aboard :-)
As a dreadfully colorblind hobbyist, I am super hyped about this line of paints.
Good review! Seems like a good kit
Well, Brent, this video is kitty approved. He stepped on my tablet and made it full-screen. Congratulations😸
Woooo!!!! :-)
The cat seemed very impressed with the overall results on the dinosaur 😉
Such an enjoyable vid, in terms of showcasing a few techniques with a few paints and getting nice clean results. Mini painting 101 tbh.
Yes at last a video about Army Painters new paints! I looked desperately for that on youtube, now my search is at last over! Hoooray!
ok it's naptime, go to your room.
I am so impressed with the brightness of this paint range.
there are some fun colors in there. Brightness isn't technologically hard to achieve, but the colors do look nice:-)
@@GoobertownHobbies I'm super new to wargaming (December), and I really struggle having my paints look bright and clear, it always ends up muddy and dirty.
Maybe I'm totally wrong in thinking AP is anything special here, but everything I see about AP seems so geared towards people like me. I've bought so many gosh darn GW paints and had no idea what the end product would look like. Often ruining the model for me...
keep workin at it! There's a learning curve for sure, but it's realllly satisfying when you figure out how to make something work. I believe in you 🙂 @@splatsma
"Yup, it works" is the quote of the video.
You are a legend of the community.
This starterkit and your run through of it is really encouraging for me as a hesitant painter! I've been scratch bashing up a storm but i have been too paralyzed by choice to really get into the painting.
I believe in you! get them custom minis some paint! :-)
Thanks for your review Brent, my niece recently asked for me to teach her how to paint minis and this is definitely a great option to get her started in terms of paint kits
I respect Army Painter for taking advice to heart I definitely can't wait for the fanatics range to launch
Nice!! Good luck with the lessons :-)
@@GoobertownHobbies Thank you I look forward to it
I remember having an entire unit of those black orcs. Thats been a while!
I still have 15 of them painted up! 2 sixpacks plus 3 metal command squad :-)
What a great video, some really important commentary on starter sets, and painting in general.
I’m really looking forward to trying this range out. It’s come out at a time that I’m looking to invest in a new range to accompany the many I already use. High on the list of importance is not only a range that could substitute for Citadel in terms of colour scope, but also in its value and availability. For my own tutorials I like to recommend paints that cover all those areas, and it certainly feels like this could fit that bill. Just looking forward to being able to grab a few bottles to buy, I haven’t risked buying the big set.
hey thanks! yeah try a few bottles and see if you like it, I think this is a notable release, I'm curious to see what the wider community will think! :-)
Thanks for this review 🙂
The dinosaur looks great, much better than the limited number of paints you used would suggest. Plus, I love seeing One Page Rules minis get some love.
Nice work. Thanks.
Thank you for fueling my confirmation bias.
I preordered the big box. I hope, that their triads system will help me to select colors. Due to my red/green color sight deficiency (colorblindness) I have a really hard time selecting appropriate colors.
I thank you for this video. It will be my recommended starting video for people who are interested in the hobby.
nice! I've been having fun with these paints, I hope you like them too :-)
Great work! The minis all turned out great. Big fan of the dino!
It is true that nobody needs hundreds of bottles of paint. But it sure is fun!
Sweet video! I recently got my first paints and unpainted minis, i quickly realized I was missing a few key colors. I’m making due, but I will be picking up a few single bottles of paint asap
nice!!! I hope you have fun painting, I'm excited for ya! :-)
Quite interesting video. Thanks.
This man is the Bob Ross of mini painting. And I love him for it.
I started with the painting hobby and was unsure if getting the small set would be OK until I saw this video, thank you!
this box is a fine place to start! Welcome to the hobby :-)
good review, having a mini is awesome
I'm glad to see that this an actually suitable starter set for new painters to get their hands on - something I could grab & gift to my kids for their own jump-start into the hobby, for instance. I, personally, started in the hobby with the AP warpaints starter set - similar to the one tested here (flesh as opposed to gold is the most notable change). Too many of that set were plain awful for a new painter to try to use and I spent so long struggling with them that I didn't build any confidence until I started using other brands, and once that confidence took off I was able to experiment with techniques & processes. To this day the Ultramarine Blue is the worst paint I've ever had the misfortune to use.
the retirement of the old army painter warpaints is going to raise the average experience of new painters by a lot! Finally we're at a point where most of the paints on the market are actually pretty dang good, and it's easier than ever to get folks started off right! Interesting about the gold flesh substitution, of all the colors in here, gold is probably the least important.
Appreciated the paper plate, cup of water, and paper towel! True old school!
Another fantastic video!
great video mate!
Looks like a good answer for people who ask about the easiest way to get started with mini painting.
for sure! that question comes up all the time, and there are surprisingly few good single-box answers to it.
I just wanna say. I appreciate you wearing a glove when you airbrush. I see so many videos of people just blasting their hands and I'm like "Mate, please, wear a glove, your life will be better for it"
Also these paints look great. I have some new friends getting into the hobby and I'm hoping this will help them.
oh yeah, I don't want my hand to get all crusty! 🙂
We're nerds, we love funny names but some of us are color blinds lol. I love the idea of having regular names + triads. AP is my paint range to go, love the company attitude about our hobby.
every video brings joy - its the bob ross effect.
Great stuff friend 👏 👍
