- I've FINALLY got the GIANT Fanatic Complete set from The Army Painter - and I'm going to talk about the things inside that other people HAVEN'T talked about yet!
Vince Venturella and I made a 'zine! Check out SNARL at www.snarlingbadger.com
I'm now a partner on Twitch! I paint minis every Friday morning and Monday night, and sometimes take paint breaks (play video games poorly). Follow me: / tabletopminions

Writing the actual colour on the bottle is such a huge step forward. It's such a simple improvement but so helpful.
Dab some of the colour on top of the bottle cap. Makes it much easier to spot them among the sea of white.
@@TrazynnThat is less helpful for colorblind individuals. I need to understand where the color actually lands from a technical perspective since I can’t trust my eyes. Putting the color & gradient on the label is honestly making me consider picking this up by itself
They started doing that with the Speed Paint 2.0 line. Amazing.
As someone who is colorblind, the label thing is great. I'm not going to have to have my wife describe what kind of color she thinks 'clouded sea' is supposed to be for me anymore.
DUDE SAME. Thank you. My wife has to be so involved with my paint selection.
Also love when painting tutorials tell exactly what army painter/citadel they used, it’s so essential for me.
I went all in for Pro Acryl this year but these look tempting. I don’t know if I can justify even more paints. Naming convention is fantastic.
I fully agree, I have to do the same thing. I used a label maker and had my wife tell me what the colours actually are
I also lean on my wife (whos an actual artist) for these things, "sayin hey pick out the colors i'm going to need to get this effect, pls" I kinda doubt the little color bar is going to help a lot tho cause of...tone? Some hues already look the same to me but if some hues that i can normal tell apart have the same tone i can be blind to that as well.
I agree - it’s been much needed in the mini paint space for awhile now. Thanks for watching!
Love the naming on the bottles. It’s so sorely needed in the mini painting space. Artists have a common language they can use when it comes to paint names (cadmium red, burnt umber, phthalo blue etc.) while we’re stuck with daft fantasy/sci-fi names. I see so many new painters asking ‘what paints do I need to paint this model?’ The answer should be simple. Look at the model and select the colours you see ie. Dark red, light green, etc. ProAcyril has been pretty good with this, now with AP hopefully we’ll see more brands do similar.
That's not entirely true about the naming conventions though. It is somewhat true when they are aimed at Fantasy/Sci-Fi painters, but if you look at the Vallejo Model Colour/Panzer Aces range, the MIG colours, even the old Tamiya range you get "Nato black-grey", "Japanese uniform", "RAF mid sea grey" etc straight out of the bottle because they are trying to replicate something from real life. The colour triads thing isnt new either - Reaper used to do it, foundry did too, and it's common in "modulation effect" airbrush paints for planes and tanks. Not throwing shade at all - even though I mostly paint things in shades of brown and green and I have no use for glowing nuclear vomit effects I'll be trying out lots of stuff from this range.
This Army Painter evolution has made me want to buy their entire line from Air paint to Speed Paint 2.0. I love the different color caps on the bottles to separate the ranges.
Lol, i paint the caps with the color in the bottle
Their Air Paint line is my absolutely favorite, and Speed Paint 2.0 is untouchable. They're the only thing I buy now, except for my precious Vallejo Model Color, and a few AK paints.
Congrats on the collaboration with TAP! You're one of the most trustworthy creators out there, you deserve it
I could see myself maybe trying out some of the effects paints, the extra flavor crystals is an interesting concept. I also like that they have fresh and old versions of a lot of them (especially the blood and rust).
It's nice to see AP really taking a big swing at upping their game. Will definitely be interesting to see what the wider reaction to these are once they're in the wild.
"flavour crystals" killed me 😂😂
I pulled the trigger on the Complete Set this morning. Hearing your review has made me twice as excited! Many thanks!
I grew up in the states, and now back home in Denmark. Been hobbying for years and only discovered in the last 3 years they are a Danish company, I've talked to other Danes that have been in the hobby here locally for decades and they never knew til I mentioned it.
Danish Design, & Legos are known the world over, for amazing quality, production, & attention to detail. It seems The Army Painter is also committed to these Danish Ideals, not only rapid iteration of their products, but seem to engage and listen to the hobby community. Pretty awesome!
Army Painter is killing it recently. They have stepped up their game immensely.
This exactly the kind of product I want. Just a comprehensive collection of any paint I could need. No decision paralysis over which paints to buy or what scheme would work with my paints just freedom
I've hated almost every AP paint I've used in the past. That being said, after watching this video I'm still tempted to try these out.
Wow Adam this looks great! You can almost see how excited you are during this video talking of these now paints. It's real nice you got the chance to preview this new paint range.
Their colour system, correct colour coding and colour graph is actually pure brilliance and I can see that being a very good selling point for this new range.
This is what the kids call a flex, I believe. Your move GW.
Absolutely blown away by the accessibility of the color naming. As someone who’s colorblind, it’s so so so appreciated
Outstanding overview, really looking forward to seeing more of the effect paints, and the new labelling package is interesting and a great move forward
The info opn the labels is enough for me to buy it as a colour blind person.
Whilst vallejo ranges are mostly easy enough to work out, I struggle with colour hues in terms of building up colour - layers, highlights etc. These bottles look like they'll solve a lot of my issues..
Hate the current range of AP paints but this looks great.
Super stoked for these. Army Painter has been crushing it lately (Speedpaint 2.0, especially) so I'm hopeful these will be on another level.
I can't wait to get my mitts on the complete set of these. Thanks for the overview of the new stuff!
I am saving my money for these when they are available for the public. My Reaper paints have finally crapped out, and I have to replace them all. 😢
I love the fact they have a complete set like this, but at 700+ dollars its kind of ridiculous cost point all at one go. And that does not even include the Speed Paints that so many people would want in connection to the new Fanatic line. Also to be fair you're not buying these you are being granted access to this set for free, so consider that in your review. Ahh the benefits of being a influencer. ;) Yes the bottle labels are nice, also the 6 paints in their trifecta sets is pretty cool. They really thought about this new set and it shows... they may now be the top dog in the hobby. With this number of paints I will have to buy them in stages, I am not sure if they will have sets that allow me to buy them in steps without buying doubles or triples of some colors. This is a great review of the paints... like I said Army Painter may of just taken the top spot in the hobby with this and the Speed paints 2.0. From big cans of stain and dipping models to this great new Fantastic line. Well Deserved Army Painter, GOOD WORK!
These new paints look amazing!
I love how well they are organized, and I love the effects paint.
I can see myself using them all in my armies.
Whole, this Army Painters boxset set has a lot of painting options for your models. These ones I'll have to give a try early next year.
Thank you for the video and have a Merry Christmas!
The Labelling is the biggest innovation here.
Definitely gearing up for all their paints. The only qualm I have is the HUGE gap between the Complete and Mega set. It's either go big or go huge with no step in-between. Reaper at least broke their set into three boxes for ease of upgrading one's collection.
The Mega set and the Most Wanted set have no overlap in colors - therefor you could get one and then get the other one later and keep adding without getting the same color twice. Thanks for watching!
I've tried three of the new fanatics and they have great coverage. Please note that several of the AP colored metallics, which are my favorites, are being discontinued. It's worth stocking up. (elven armor etc.)
When you tried the new fanatic paints when you move the paint around on a wet pallet does it form small bubbles?
@@OldManb1981 No, it felt really smooth and covering even on the palette.
Wow so no bubbles at all when moving paint around on pallet or on the mini? The new Vallejo game Color range sucks. So many bubbles. Argh
I'll be honest I just use pro acryl metallic medium with everything that isn't pro acryl base metallic colors. I LOVE their metallic medium and also their normal metallics but the medium works perfectly awesome with any colored paint (and I have and use the full range of AP oldplaints, speedpaints, and AB paints which is what i use otherwise)
OMG! THANK YOU Army painter!! About time someone labled the bottles with a little more info! I LOVE it!
I was going to go out and buy a lot of paint and replenish my supplies... But I'll think I'll wait and pre ordering this set! :D
Awesome! I have been looking for a sepia wash ever since Games Workshop decided they wanted to get out of the wash market and replaced their line with sludge.
I love army painter. It upped my mini game for sure.
I’ve always been a citadel guy, still am. I did try out about a dozen and I am enjoying them. Pretty good control…
I'm a Vallejo guy, currently, as I still have lots of their paints left from when I built scale models. But I can see myself slowly replacing VMC colors with these ones here, or buying colours I don't have (yet).
If they're as good or better than, say, AK 3rd Gen (of which I have but a few), and with better availability, it's a no-brainer!
Certainly the effects and washes that you demonstrated here are worth it because they look excellent!
Can't wait.
Why would you replace Vallejo? Their Game Color line I assume? Their Model Color line is unmatched for realistic colors, I don't think even these Army Painter new ones can match it. For fantasy, sure... I'm experimenting with speedpaints myself.
@@theandf I'm replacing Vallejo with Army Painter. Ive used Vallejo since I moved country & had to rebuy everything. Im not impressed at all. They are dull & very easily get over diluted on wet pallete. Im going back to Army Painter, their colours are brighter & so don't turn to grey with washes.
Maybe everyone just has a preference, I found citadel pretty good but I hate the pots so much.
@@theandf I use Model Color, not Game Color, and yes, their range is excellent in terms of realism. But I find their color swatches (pdf, website) quite "off" a lot of the times, so finding the right color is very often hit and miss! AP's triad system seems quite promising in that regard.
@@revylokesh1783 thanks for the reply. I love Model Color but I agree about the swatches. Actually this is currently a problem for me with Speed Paints 2.0: I cannot get the hang of the colors. The paint looks different to the label on the pot. Some TH-camrs like Dana Howl resort to painting the caps of the bottles as a reminder, but it seems wasteful, plus I'm lazy.
Availability is such a huge factor for me. Every store near me has AP stuff so if some single colors on the rack are missing I can hop around a few locations trying to track it down. Only two stores in like 100km of me carries pro-acryl on the other hand. I really like pro-acryl but it's not easy for me to get. Vallejo is more prevalent for me but their range is so utterly massive between their air lines, metal colour, game colour, model colour, FX paints, and primers that the odds of a store having all the racks and also have them have stock is low.
Either way, I'm not a paint loyalist. I'll prime in pro-acryl, layer with vallejo, use a GW contrast for hair, wash with AP, and use AK for effects after.
Helpful review, thank you. Will definitely give these a try. I am really impressed with the Speedpaint 2.0 and still trying to improve the way I use the metallic Speedpaints. It looks like I will need to make many of the Vallejo paints redundant.
I am excited. These look like a great addition to my paint collection.
I am going to be getting these as a late Christmas present.
The new effects paints and washes are on my wish list. I’m getting the speed paints for Christmas. Looking forward to it. 👍
From the reviews I've seen on the new Warpaints: Fanatic line I am planning on ordering the complete set. One thing that has really stood out to me across all the reviews I've watched is the added value found within their flexible triad system. Where traditional triads are just three color tones having their color tones in groups of six is great for a number of reasons. First as many have pointed out within that six color tone grouping you'll actually be getting four triads. I also like the fact that all six tones can be used to make smooth gradients. Another thing that seems possible with this flexible triad system that I don't recall having been mentioned is there seems to be a lot of forgiveness for accidentally applying the wrong shade. For example say your using the number four blue as your mid tone but you accidentally grab and apply the number three blue where there doesn't appear to be huge shifts in tonality between tones adjacent to each other it seems that will allow some leeway especially for those who are new to miniature painting.
Very much looking forward to getting my hands on some of these.
Great overview! I'm really looking forward to this line coming out.
wow I'm really impressed with the rust and metallics. That rust looks real good.
Very much looking forward to getting my hands on this paint.
I've already got one of these preordered. They won me over with their technical demo. They'll sit nicely with my speedpaints and my pro acryls.
How did you preorder?
Great video. I’m super excited for these. The paint labels are brilliant, and I don’t know why nobody has thought of that before! Also, the dark rust and plasma gun glow look phenomenal, I can see this range being a big hit. Between this new range and the TTC stuff, it’s a good time to be a mini painter!
I do love the TAP washes. I too think they are the best off the shelf washes.
I'm really sold on this new line. Great video as always and happy holidays to you all
I just got into painting miniatures, and I had just bought the mega paint set around thanksgiving and now there's a product I want more.
Another great show again, thank you so much and keep them coming please!
ive been a Army painter fan/user for 3 yrs now and never been happier giving up the GW paint line
I have a pile of minis waiting for these new paints!
Keep coming back to this, excellent video. 🎉
I look forward to testing these out I love their air line.
Thanks for the great overview of the whole set, I just pre-ordered it :D
Congratulations on your collaboration with AP and love the tee in this video
Great review of the new paints! I’m legitimately excited for this new paint range. I might never have to buy any more paints
Another superb video Uncle Atom!🥳 gives a really good idea about these paints & I really want to check them out.
Holy moly the bottle labels.....just wow.
Man its so refreshing to see a company so proactive in trying new things and taking feed back from hobbyists and creators
With all the current offers out there, and very good products, it is quite interesting to see these paints as a good contender. Will have to wait and see. Bold statement to say these are some of your favorites!
That color scale/family bar thing is outstanding. I've wanted something like that for a while.
just preordered, love your channel
I'm sorely tempted to add theses to the painting arsenal and perhaps retire some of my GW paints. Very interested in picking some up in the future to test drive. I hear their new yellows are sublime. Perfect for getting my Hawkshroud Knight project back on it's feet.
Cool as always. Merry Christmas 🎄
I'm hopeful and excited that it can offer similar results to Vallejo at more convenient locations for me. I've really been wanting lots of color variety for any project I might want to do.
I have been building a list of paints to try for a Verdigris effect and am so thrilled to see this coming down the line!
I look forward to trying a few of these new paints. That being said, there are so many to choose from!
Great stuff friend 👏 👍
Really nice overview of the new products. I am glad to see AP revising their main opaque paint. Hopefully it will continue to be relatively inexpensive. At least when compared with GW paint. I really like the AP SpeedPaint, that v2 update really fixed any issues with the V1 products.
This is awesome! So excited for this to come out!
These look great. I'm all-in on ProAcryl so not sure I'll get the opaque paints, but I'm grabbing those effect paints ASAP!
What an awesome video Adam and a great overview. As both a hobbyist and a retailer I am so excited for this release. They look absolutely phenomenal. Of all the paints you mentioned the two I’m most jazzed for are Death Metal which (correct me if I’m wrong) looks like a metallic black. When I first started painting miniatures (back when George H.W. Bush was President) I always did my bolters with a metallic black which has been so hard to find since GW axed it from their original paint line. The other is oil slick as I used to use Typhus Corrosion all the time but it is nearly impossible to find now. So it’s nice to see an alternative in another main range.
I love that patina tarnish look!
It’s a really great effect depending on how much you think it down. Works great. Thanks for watching!
So excited for these paints!
I'm in love with the speed paint line.
Definitely looking forward to checking out these, more good competition is always good
Colour me intrigued. In six shades.
I see what you did there. Thanks for watching!
Oh lord, not only the paint colour descriptions, but the paint family!?! This is going on my shopping list!
That colour family and gradient guide is brilliant and a little bit annoying that its only just happening!
The triad system in the fanatic paints is very appealing to a beginner like myself. Looking forward to videos teaching how to use it for shading and adding depth & detail to minis. As right now I'm still in the stage of single layer of acrylic's with a wash.
I'm curious to try these out for my next project. 🙂 I've been searching everywhere for a goblin green replacement that covers well, maybe I'll find it with these new paints.
Thanks for the review, I know what's going on my wish list.
Looking forward to trying these
I'm so upset, two days before they announced this line I said in a conversation "I think I'm set paint wise, I don't need anymore." Looking forward to grabbing them up.
I just recently got the new TT paints which are also amazing
Thanks for a great overview of this huge range and showing the possibilities. I don't get to see the Twitch to often so a demo video would be great. Also "very unique" ... tisk Uncle Atom. 😂
im beyond hyped for this line of paints. I'm what I like to call "color confused" and really hope the "family of paints will be available or at least it be easy to find out the whole set to purchase individually. I'm actually tempted to pre order the big box and just be done with it. But man thats some serious cash! I'm at least going to get one of the less expensive boxes when they are out.
Im so excited for this box!
I can't wait... I'm really hyped for these paints!
I wonder if these will become the new standard? Exciting stuff, great review!!! Happy Holidays!!! 🎨🎄
Definitely getting some of the effects at the very least
Army Painter is raising the bar with a lot of this. Simply doing the family groupings and descriptive naming is going to change a lot of how I purchase and use paints. Also, the effects paints are going to change a lot as well.
I've got the mega set on pre-order through my local hobby store. I am pretty stoked, loving AP's newer products.
I am looking forward to these - I don't think I need the "everything" box but will probably get one of the larger sets.
Excited for these new paints! 🍻
Very keen on these. I like that the "Most Wanted" set really does give a variety of colors, and the new effects paints are quite promising. I've been quite happy with the metallic speedpaints so far, so I reckon that he Warpaint metallics should also be quite good.
I started painting miniatures with army painter, but later i switched to Scale 76 paints on a whim. Im mighty tempted to try some fanatic paint and see how they compare.
My local store will be getting some in and I am excited to try them out.
I'm excited to try these new paints out. I'm not sure which set to get right now, don't see myself using all those metallic colors, the effects, or the fluorescent paints. I would love to just get a set that matches the airbrush line 1:1. Hopefully they put something like that out.
Having a six step paint family is how Warcolours do their paints. They have no fancy names just Blue 1-6 etc. It makes it so easy if you want to tone down or get a highlight colour.
It was only a matter of time until one of the big fish in the industry paid attention and did same.
They look great. I've been using Army Painter for quite a while and find their paints good to great for my painting styles and skill level. When I eventually get more paint, I'm sure this will be one of the options I consider.
Good video. It’s been long enough since I’ve sat at the painting desk that many of my GW paint pots are likely dry and crusty.
I might start over with this box.
I see my favorite 4 go to colors made it in … Angel Green, Uniform Gray, Leather Brown, and Skeleton Bone … I swear I have financed the R and D for Speed Paints with all my purchases of those 4 colors throughout the years
