You're absolutely right James! The "face" definitely makes paint dry faster.
Also, try Gravelord Grey over top of Metallics. It yields fantastic results.
One of the best reviews i've seen of the speedpaints. Very helpful to see all these examples. Thanks guys! just picked up a starter set to try them out.
Great video. Thank you. Would love to see how you painted the Elephant.
The face expression to improve dry time was hilarious! Just found the channel looking for speed paint content and have subbed, keep up the good work!
Nice experimentation, I am looking forward to trying them out
Thanks! We hope you enjoy them as much as we do! 👍
I was really wondering how they would work on historicals.
Well, you came to the right place! 😀
These paints look seriously impressive
The results look amazing 👏
We certaily agree! A great deal for the price too!
Nice video. Just wish my mega set would arrive!
I've not seen anyone mix speedpaints and contrast yet that would be very intresting to see
Be careful, they might explode! 😏
@@WargamesIllustrated Doubt that, they probably come out the same factory.
Useful comparison, thanks!
You're very welcome! 😁
The basecoat should have been whiter for my liking. Can you do a video speed painting ACW miniatures?
I like the results. especialy over a zenithal or a white overbrush on primer ... now to get the Black Templars space marine scheme ... a good colour selection from the speed paint starter set is the tricky choice here i guess :) any tips for that from your perspective?
Thank you for the video. What brand and colour Primer may yo be using for the SpeedPaint'ed miniatures? kindest regards.
Nice video. Did you airbrush the red on the space marine or hand paint? What colour did TH-cam for the shoulder trims?
Thanks, we glad you liked the video! The only airbrushing we used for the Space Marines was to base them, the rest was entirely hand painted. We used two colours at a 50:50 mix for the shoulder trims - a mix of The Army Painter's Zealot Yellow and Hardened Leather. Hope that helps! 👍😀
Awesome video and thank you for the time doing this. I did want to ask though, do you color correct your videos? Your white looks like a very light blue grey instead of white, unsure if we are seeing the same thing you are.
Really good review and showcase
Thanks! We're glad you liked it!
For the WW2 infantry that you painted Pallid Bone 1st, before the green, did you put any sealer over the bone 1st? Does dried speed paint reactivate when painted over with another paint?
Dried acrylics (speed paint is an acrylic) do not activate when painted over, no matter if it's other acrylics or oils(enamel).
We didn't apply any sealer over the Pallid Bone and the dried paint does not reactivate when painted over with another paint as it is acrylic. 👍
@@WargamesIllustrated I think this commenter is asking this because Juan Hidalgo and others have reported Speedpaints reactivate with just water even after drying for days. Did you encounter this at all?
As a follow up to me question, I just came across this video where it's says the Speed Paints DO reactive and bleed through subsequent layers. th-cam.com/video/ZB4_16Fr7-M/w-d-xo.html
@@Diceslice false. Speed paints reactivates its a known problem
That was enlightening. I will have to invest on some of the blue for my Napoleonic French. I don't mean to sound like a dick but you painted those British Army Lee Enfield rifles incorrectly. The barrel of the Lee Enfield is completely encased in wood.
We've made Marc aware of the historical inaccuracy when it comes to the Lee Enfield rifles. It'll be certainly something we aim to improve. Thanks for watching!
what colors would you suggest for ww2 german infantry?
So the first color is a wash, and the highlights are dry brush? It’s not clear.
Better? No. Different? Yes.
There are already many ppl saying that these paints are very weak and will go away even with a few drops of water.
That’s not what it seems, from the reactivation feature debacle.
Goobertown Hobbies already destroyed GW's Contrast Paints by showing us how easily you can make them yourself. He also seems to love the AP Speedpaints.
Really nice and thorough testing!
Fair point! Also, thanks for watching. We're very glad you liked the video!
Speedpaint reacts with other paints. It dissolves
Key problem cant paint over them without reactivating them which rules them out for me
They painted additional layers over them in this very video, with another different color of Speedpaint. As have many other reviews and tests without issue so long as you let them dry quite awhile first. The reactivation issue is being blown way out of proportion.
GW for me a
Nice looking product, but, a little on the expensive side. $45 VS $34 for the same set with regular paints? Very roughly $1 per bottle more. I'll keep making my own for now.
I think the price point is aimed at contrast as competition.
@@MrZauberelefant Oh yes, it's definitely is a better price than a GW product. But what isn''t? I was able to make a one ounce bottle color matched to my army for about $1.00 and it behaves just like Contrast. It's also easy to do small amounts on the fly. One thing of note for the Speedpaints is that I see in some reviews that it does not "peel away" as much as GW Contrast so you don't get the instant highlights. Maybe thinning with a medium will help?
@@tracygrove3484 what's your recipe? I am considering moving to artist acrylics for pure pigments and doing washes with them. Can you point me to a starting point?
@@MrZauberelefant I just followed the ones on TH-cam. Quick search should bring them up.
This was a very enjoable video but, for the love of all that is holy, stop painting the top of Lee Enfield rifles metal! It's all wood there, the only exposed metal is in the breech area and the final tip of the barrel!
We've made Marc aware of the historical inaccuracy when it comes to the Lee Enfield rifles. It'll be certainly something we aim to improve. Thanks for watching!
Until AP does something to address the reactivation problem these paints are worthless
We didn't find the paints to reactivate but if you are worried about that we definitely do advise applying a varnish layer between each.
If only people were telling the truth in those videos instead of aiming for sponsorships... Out of all those countless videos, it was only squidmar that made an honest review backed with arguments and examples.
Did you watch the video? It is almost 25 minutes of examples backing up our thoughts on how well Speedpaints work. Far more examples than Squidmar's video provided actually - we know that because we watched it!
Could it possibly be that not everyone feels the same about everything? Nah, it must be something more dubious! :p
Not a single one of Wi's videos is tied to any sort of sponsorship (some of Squidmar's are!) and The Army Painter don't advertise in Wargames Illustrated magazine either. Believe it or not we got good results from a really good set of paints and talked about that. Who'd a thunk it?
@@jambot4621 Easy there lad. This is my opinion based on what i saw. If you don't like it, you should keep scrolling on to see other comments that fit your taste. Using irony and trying to find demons behind my comment is kinda funny, because all i said was that this is a bad video.
As a miniature painter, i didn't find it enlightening.If i was the people making the video, next time i would go for a less catchy title in favor of a product and have my conclusions presented in the end.
And please, have no hard feelings towards me, but the minis were poorly painted and couldn't serve as usable examples.
@@stevecrysanthopoulos8389 'if only people were telling the truth in those videos instead of aiming for sponsorships' was what you said and what I addressed, nothing more. As one of the people in this video I know that your statement is incorrect, hence me pointing it out and giving you an explanation as to why. Not sure how that's showing a lack of 'easy' but there ya go, that's the comments section of a TH-cam video for ya. As this ain't my first rodeo I know this is where I leave it. :)
@@jambot4621 Let's agree to disagree. ;)
As a graphic designer who worked for many publications, I can smell an advertorial from miles away, especially when we are dealing with the social media of a publication. BUT lets be fair. The advertisement pie used to be divided among ''proper'' media organisations and media shops, and offcourse they were suspected by the public for corruption, because they were corrupted. The rise of social media supposedly would rinse that corruption away since it was not possible to outright bribe so many individuals. Or was it? In fact it was easier and cheaper. Where an well known editor would demand hard cash or luxurious gifts, the small fries would happily turn over for afew pots of paint or a box of plastic that actually costed a fiver or even less to the producing corporation. I would not rate at all Squidmar as an objective reviewer, since there are signs of him being quite the opposite. He might look as a wholesome friendly guy, but he is a business. He even has employees. He has a clear GW bias and I caught him several times advertising junk.
You are right the painted results we watched in this video were not good. It was more than a washed out watercolor effect, than the ''magic'' finish advertised by all these paint companies. Then again what is ''good'' is relative. I mean for someone who wants to have little jewels in his army, the depicted results were pretty bad. But for someone who doesnt care about the artistic aspect, but focuses on the gaming, these look fine.
If people were saying the actual truth, they would recommend to just get some acrylic mediums and a concentrated acrylic ink or if you are feeling lazy, get the Army Painter medium and some acrylic inks and make your own contrast paints. There are already artist's acrylics like the High Flow of Golden in opaque and transparent series that with abit of flow aid will give you a very similar result at a much much better price, when taking volume in account.
In the end dont expect from anyone a non biased review. The best course is to watch everything and compose bit by bit an aproximation of the truth.
