This is not a suggestion for a particular color, but considering that contrast/speed paint can look very different out of the bottle from its label to due to how transparent it is, I’d love to see a label that shows a gradient of the color being used from light to dark to get a better idea of what the color looks like on a miniature!
This is a great idea
Agree, that would be really nice
Great suggestion
Speed paints already do this on their bottle. It shows a triad from light, medium and dark. Unfortunately, it is often not very accurate at all. Some are good indicators, and others e.g. sand golem are not even close to how it looks.
I saw a TH-camr paint the caps to get an accurate estimate of the color
UPDATE!
For those of you interested, I've just tried out the paints with the new formula. Colours have been adjusted to be more different from one another like I asked for, and the reactivation has been GREATLY reduced, being almost non-existent with most colours. More updates, videos, and tests to follow!
Fantastic news! Thanks Dana for helping Army Painter make a better product. Myself I thought the original version was pretty good, so this new and improved one could be really great. Since AP is available in many local shops, I like to buy it when I can to support the local shops.
Great news! I hope they start offering new starter sets based on these new colours and the new expanded selection.
I love the single pigment colours. But like you, the blues all look too similar. They need lighter blues, and one between the darkest and the mid tones.
Otherwise, I'm looking forward to seeing what comes in the next batch. I've held off buying any Contrast equivalents, as I don't want to pay out for GW prices. I've used a decent amount of the standard AP range, so I'm really excited for this 2nd batch.
Ooh exciting! When this is all done, do you know if they will re-release the old line with the new medium or mix to avoid "reactivation"?
If this is correct, and there’s all these distinct colors with little to no reactivation at this great price, then army painter will have converted at least one new customer to their brand.
Am I the only one who wishes they would sell that "secret alchemy set" of the pure pigments and the medium to mix your own paints at home? :D
It…wouldn’t be fun. Haha the master pigments are barely useable. They are made to develop colours and those colours go through a great deal of transformation before they become Speedpaint. But, if we can crack the code one day, maaaaybe?
@@TheArmyPainter Not arguing just honestly curious. How is this different than using artists gauche? Is it that you have to do processing in the factory to "tweak" the properties based upon the other pigments in the bottle?
Though thinking about it, would the medium work with acrylic gouache? And if it does, would you guys consider selling the medium in the 100ml bottles you use for airbrush cleaner?
@@wookiee.gunner I didn’t think you were arguing. ;) I don’t believe the medium will work as you’d suspect with gouache. But we are all for experimenting.
@@TheArmyPainter Related idea, and not sure if the development of these products is too far along to make it possible, but I think include the pigment ratios on the bottles would be a really interesting idea. From a technical standpoint, it would allow for more accurate idea of what certain colours will look like on a model, or how they might blend together, Like going from a purple with 30% Red and 70% blue, to 100% blue, or going from Red to Cyan (for whatever reason) without ending up grey or brown.
Maybe sell a set as an "expert product" for experienced painters? Something deliberately for a small selection of hobbyists looking for great control over their paints.
Kind of Speedpaint related: I want them to release more brush-on primers. I love their gray, but with the popularity of slapchop and everything, I'd love to see more. A light gray, a midtone brown, a black, a pastel lime (for greenskins) and a fleshtone would be great, serving as good undercolors to drybrush up for slapchop and then put these transparent colors over.
Monument Hobby primers brush on so incredibly well. I want them to release a lighter medium gray!
I’m gonna go for the obvious: the speedpaints medium bottle is way, way too small for how much I find myself using it to thin down some of the speedpaints (I’m looking at you, hive dweller purple).
That being said, it looks like they filled some gaps with these new prototypes, although, I’d really like to see a fern green as an addition to the range. It’s a pretty flexible color that I think would have a lot of uses.
I have made a habit of buying a bottle of medium every time I buy paints in general, and then transfer it to a bigger bottle (I think the one I use is an old bottle for Vallejo Thinner). Then on the rare occasions when I buy paints from GW or P3, I can transfer the paints into the old medium bottles. Quality bottles, and less waste :)
Ya I want a speedpaint Medium bottle like the one they gave Dana! I also like how Hive Dweller is dark and I can dilute it.
I feel like having slightly darker speedpaints like hive dweller is great because you can dial in the intensity with the medium. I completely agree that more medium would be good as using it to dial them in is great and often necessary.
It's kind of like how professional artists can buy matte or glaze medium in large bottles. That's your workhorse chemical. You'll inevitably need a lot of it in the course of painting. So a larger bottle of speedpaint medium would be useful.
Agreed, a bigger bottle of medium would be well received
A Wine-Red would be nice.
Also I feel like a warm off white, that is more khaki than bone would be great and is also lacking in the contrast range (think rakarth flesh, for the really sick skin tones)
I feel that they should make a warmer grey
agreed! I'll get right on that
First we need an Army Painter "Howling Sands" but I'd also like to see a Drow (Dark Elf) Skin-tone. I've been mixing my own for years using 3/2/1 mixture of AP Necromancer Cloak/ GW Contrast Medium/ AP Alien Purple to make a Gray with a gentle Lilac hue.
Would really like a darker black.
I'd love to see a darker black, it's more of very dark grey as it stands. Also a cold/undead flesh colour for vampire miniatures would be interesting
Very cool of Army Painter to offer this chance! It's such a refreshing attitude to involve the community in this way without any cloak & dagger about it. Looking forward to seeing where the speedpaints go from here.
Army Painter has really impressed me so far with their communication, they are a much smaller company than I realized, and really do want to hear what the community has to say to improve the products. They've given me license to share pretty much all the info they have given me, and I'm excited to share more with all of you as I keep on testing!!!
As a dirty slapchop gremlin I've never noticed the re-activation issue since I just do one pass with a colour and then move on to the next (or paint in batches as you said).
but yeah I can imaging it being a bit annoying if you were painting one model and doing some of the more artsy fartsy "layer building" and "highlights" or whatever those fancy techniques are.
I for one welcome our new Speed paint overlords and eagerly await this release, they're a core part of my collection and will continue to be in future so more colours sounds great to me!
Also, in terms of colour suggestions I'd really like a vibrant orange yellow that darkens to a Saturated orange in the recesses, I feel like this is also missing from citadel and it would be a really welcome addition for things like squigs. (Like Zealot yellow but the highlights more towards fiery orange then yellow).
For me the extra greens look good as does the grey colors. I always find that those are the colors I mix the most to get interesting coloration for camouflage, terrain, foliage, rocks, metals, and so on. For me the activation is part of the allure of speed paints so I hope it doesn't go away completely.
I havnt really had a problem with the reactivation can’t wait for the new colors to drop
I'd love to see a "how to cmyk" video on what pigments get closest to printer colors and how to use them as building blocks for mixing our own - and what challenges there are due to the reality of pigments and the speed paint medium itself.
I would LOVE "true" CMY speed paints. Those would be 3 instant buys for me.
I am betting Dana's personal paint mix will be along the lines of CMY
@@MischiefAndMercuryWorkshop From Dana's website, the paints labelled Primary Magenta (quinacridone magenta), Yellow Two (cadmium medium), and Plasmatic Bolt or one of the Blue Greens (pthalo blue, green shade) are likely are your best bet. But if you want the full warm/cold version of each colour, I would also add Highlord Blue (ultramarine), Slaughter Red (alizarin crimson), and Yellow One (cadmium lemon) to that list, which should allow you to mix most colours.
The pigments listed are just a similar tone and to compare them to a warm/cool palette you might have for oil paints, I have no idea what they're actually using - though Primary Magenta is definitely a quinacridone haha, it's a very obvious pigment.
Working on it ;)
I think Dana, covered my concerns within this video, that a number of the new paints look almost identical, especially in the Blues, I would personally prefer fewer colours if that meant they were clearly different from each other - I am excited about a few of the new colours though, the yellows, the mid grey colour and a wider variety of skin tones. All of these are pluses for me.
Firstly thanks for a very balanced 'non-review' review. I think you covered the main points for me very well. The Greens, greys and some of the browns stand out for me as useful additions to the range (and of course true yellows). The blues disappoint a bit.
Can say for sure waiting over night does not always stop reactivation i've had it happen several days later
I really like the bright purple, when you show the five purple colors at 13:20 it is the one in the lower left. I could see that being a really handy color for Emperor’s Children.
Agree this is a great purple
I want that big Speed Paint Medium bottle!
Some of those colours look like they could be easily made by mixing two others. While others look like they are just more diluted versions of darker colours.
Personally I would prefer more single pigment colours and colours with many pigments and shy away from the two pigment colours as they would be the easiest to mix up ourselves.
Also I like the speedpaints that seem more concentrated. I can easily dilute Hive Dweller Purple, while Purple Alchemy needs multiple coats to be darker.
The historical wargames community has embraced "speed paints" of this genre very well (They're great for smaller scale stuff or getting massive armies ready fast). But all of the paint brands seem to be doing their speed range in very fantastical, bright colours. I think it would be smart if someone did a "vallejo model color" version of a speed range, with reference colours for historical uniforms. Say a german feldgrau for WW2, olive greens, tans, etc. Maybe more muted, realistic blues and reds for napoleonics
Isn't Vallejo themselves coming out with a line?
I came here to say pretty much the same thing. These paints and contrast paints are so saturated and bright. I want some dull colors. I want to paint my Bloodborne board game miniatures, and I'd love to see some drab grey brownish variants matching the grim mood of the game.
Not to be that guy, but most of the original contrast paints and speedpaints have some desaturated, dull colors. Plus vibrant colors are always more versatile to use as they can be mixed with grays and complementary colors to get a more subdued result.
@@grimbostink7607 I think by your message you have probably never painted a big historical army. There's no need to be that guy, there could perfectly be different ranges for speed paints like there are for traditional paints, it's not like someone is putting a gun on your head to choose. And who goes into speed painting wanting to mix colours? That's opposite mindsets/goals
@@crazygermn It's also bright colours as far as we know
The comparison/reference guide for all the speedpaints has helped me a lot, thank you. I am not 100% on the feasibility of this but I wouldn't mind seeing a metallic speedpaint or two.
I would love a "Metalizing" or "Pearlizing" SpeedPaint Medium - where you just mix in a little with the color of your choice to get the metallic or pearlescent effect on that color. This would also allow you to control the intensity of the effect.
I feel much in agreement with you - the blue and red range still need greater variation, the green and flesh tone range is amazing and exciting. The bright yellow, purple and magenta are great and useful additions. The turquoise Prismatic Bolt is gorgeous and I like the 2 variations here.
I'm quite happy with the existing megaset for my painting needs. I have learned how to address the reactivation issue from you and other TH-camrs.
Orange, Turquoise. Also a neon color line perhaps?
I’d like to chime in and say I really love the reactivation feature of AP Speedpaint. It really helps me get smooth blends and it makes cel shading/layering techniques really fun.
Just thought of a now obvious suggestion: Metallics. Marco Frisoni has magicked out some metallic Not-Contrast out of inks, Vallejo Metal paint and medium, so i imagine the people in that lab could try a formula that could be bottled.
And obviously you probably asked them already, a not tiny bottle of medium!
I must have a good batch i didnt have any problems with the mega set, and yes avoid water. The set is missing a mid grey with runic grey filling that slot, which is not what you need most of the time. Also blood red looks very orange to me.
Love the new bright pink and any brightly colored pigments. I actually don't mind zealot yellow but I understand people looking for a true yellow color
Been excitedly waiting for your take on these! Your earlier videos were a big reason I started using them. Agree with your take on reactivation. I actually just recognize it’s part of the package and get a lot more minis painted and love the blending results.
I found that 2 layers of speedpaints leaves nice coats. I wonder if the similar ones become more different on two coats, or mix different
The bright magenta is lovely
Dana, all I care about is that you get your Magenta and some version of Pale Sand...
We're getting those for sure!
I think the big difrence from contrast is. That contrast is exspensive for begainers. And it also requires a special primer/base coat. Where as Speed Paint just need any light or slightly dark primer.i have been lucky not to have reactivation. But others may have fifrent resaults
In my experience contrast doesn't require a special primer to use, I think that's a myth?
I would love to see a rich darker red. I was recently looking at a nice gothic art piece with black, a rich aqua green, and blood red, and I couldn't currently replicate that color scheme for a spooky mini because all of these reds look too bright to evoke the 'fresh blood' feel.
I am also a fan off purple, but I've bought basically every speed paint, alchemy paint and contrast paint that goes on purple trying to find a fitting royal purple shade, like the petals of the deadly nightshade flower, for a haunted garden themed ghost I was working on. I've found speedpaints make for awesome army painting and basing resources, specifically because reactivation means I can clean up mistakes quickly and get back to the focal points faster, so having good flower and groundcover colors is really important to me.
Finally, I'd like to see some other white shades. A sepia shadowed white, a tannish white, etc.
I really like those colors, especially the light runic grey and the range of browns and greens. Very exciting development for sure!
There's two things i'm missing right now. The first one is a wash range for AP Speedpaints - while I love the vibrancy, I'm not the best painter and washes help to bring all the colors back together. Yes, I can varnish the minis then apply citadel washes, or mix my own with the SP medium (though I' always mix too little or too much, so not the best solution for me either), but it would be super helpful if we just had something ready-made.
What I'd love to see even more, though, is a simple clean-up white paint made to cover mistakes without having to worry about reactivation. Or even a full range made to work with speed paints without the reactivation issue. At that point I'd truly buy AP excusively.
I agree with you about the fact that some colors are too close to each other. What I think would be really usefull : add some paints to make like "fluorescent" effect, like plasmatic bolt but for green, blue and other colours. Also add specific paints to work like NMM for the gold, bronze, silver.
New to painting (just wanting figures to not be gray on the board) and I love these paints. I wish they had some metal colors - copper, silver, gold, etc. Will be looking for more tests and reviews as these new colors come out, as they rarely look like the color shown on the bottle. Thank you for showing them off. :)
That new purple in the lower left hand corner is what we NEED
I would like to see some additional vibrant purples and indigos.
In my opinion, the new range needs a "very pale beige", lighter and softer than Pallid Bone (Core Set).
I'd love to see which colours look good wet/reactivation blended and which just give you a muddy brown or black in the overlap. Not knowing how colours will react to each other is one of the main things that puts me off trying it
Would love really vibrant versions of all the primary and secondary colors. Something similar to that incredible new magenta. Those would be great for magic/plasma effects.
a 'Pale Sand' mug IS temping...
I’d like to see a like “I haven’t seen the sun in 50 years” pale skin color
I'd like to expand my set of Speedpaint with new yellows, greens, and purples, but the Metal Grey is what I'm most excited to have.
I like the new blue top right, kind of royal blue!
I like the lighter version of Runic Grey, and the "cooler white" as well.
Hardened Leather is awesome!
I like to use a hairdryer when I'm painting. Do you think using it may alleviate the reactivation problem, seeing as it will dry the current layer of paint?
Even if it dries it, it won’t cure it. So no
A few of the greens look very similar to each other, they could do with a nice emerald green. The browns have the same issue of several colours looking like duplicates. Three of the blues look almost identical, a light blue might be needed. The yellows look good to me. The oranges look very dark, and one of them is almost red, while the magentas look okay, one of them could do with a bit more blue added to it, so they're not all in the same colour range. The purples all look grainy, or dusty, to me. I like the greys, but the duplicate black could do with more pigment, as you suggested.
I feel the lighter colours (white, light turquoise, lighter skin colours) that don't cover much, should be in their own range called 'tints' or something. It's really disappointing when you use these colours, and expect them to have some coverage. They should also include two bottles of the speed-paint medium because if you're not meant to use water, that's all you'll have.
Looking forward to seeing what colours you come up with, I hope emerald green, and a nice deep burgundy are the first ones :)
Really like that they are reaching out like this. Personally I would love whites and dark grey/black with v v subtle undertones. Whites with the slightest apple green/pink/ magenta/blue, and blacks with purple/red/brown/blue. Pretty sure it can be done with white paints, not sure about black/dark grey.
Excited to see what colors you all come up with! That magenta is fire. I would love to see some fun pinks in this range, too. Thaaaank you for the quality reviews
That Pink "magenta" is so cool. I want that, so glad they smooth out the purples.
A naming request rather than a colour request - it's rad that there's such a wide pool of skintones to choose from; so I hope some of them are named as such and not just references to mud, animals or leather.
The darkest brown in the recent wave of GW constrast is called '[fantasyname] sewer', which, wow.
Burgundy, maroon and other deep and rich colors that stealth characters/ units might sport. More browns are always nice. Clearly labeling the single pigment colors would be AWESOME.
Looking at the new colors we will get most of the colors I was missing, like a true yellow, turquoise, violet and purple. I only miss a better (not so grey) white closer to Citadel's. And a bigger size medium bottle with better cost/value, that would also be nice. Thanks for the overview! I really love this paints.
I agree some of the new colors look like reformulations of the originals. And some of the new colors are too similar. My guess is that they are looking to you to help them select which is the best amongst the choices. Myself, I think we can probably just have a medium shade of colors and then mix a lighter or darker shade by adding medium or the dark black tone or other darker tone. I know some people don't mix, but I find a little mixing here and there provides variety. And with dropper bottles it is possible to write down and re-create a mix (two drops + one drop) pretty easily.
Nice job! Thanks for doing this, Dana! I really like this setup, and these look great already. I’m really excited!
I like the forest green color.
As you already said: the red, magenta and blue really needs more variations
I've never actually had the re-activation problem other than one time I applied paint after only twenty minutes. I find speed paints a great range and very useful indeed. I have about a dozen of them now and no doubt given my paint-cleptic nature ( if only I could buy it in a 40 ounce bottle) will add to the range. What I really want to try is Green Stuffs dipping range.
I would have 2-3 recomendations for new mixes. For warm light skin tones (on animals/beastman) i really like mix of yellow ochre light and quinacridone rose (PBr24+ PV19) and raw sienna and primary magenta (PY 42+ PV19) as a darker variant. And a colour i have trouble making work but really like the hue is Cerulean blue (PB35) so make this a consistent one layer usable colour please :D
This is amazing. I like Army Paints cuz they allow noobs like me to get into painting. So I like practical applications of paint. I need a white that is called "white teeth" to paint teeth in one color. I need a "brown bear fur" and a "black bear fur". The jackpot would be a white that pools into very distinct black so I could make eyes with just one drop.
I've been on a desaturated indigo kick lately. An indigo, in general, would be nice.
And I agree, a nice darker black ya needed.
A brighter, international/hazard orange.
I really like all those greens. Those are my favorites.
I hope that ArmyPainter will soon have global shipments, it is very difficult to get the paints in Mexico, not all Army Painter products are offered on Amazon, you have to look for resellers all the time, and sometimes it is more profitable to buy the contrast paints on the official website , instead of looking for speed paints.
The SpeedPaints are incredible, I hope they find a partner in Mexico for their sale, or they can ship worldwide soon.
I love the video thanks for sharing!!!
I bought my first mega box of speed paints for your videos!!
I'd love to see a very gentle Lilac purple!
Also great vid as always!
I'd like to see them do a pastel orange and a couple lighter pinks. Maybe a baby pink and a rose pink? Or antique pink? Maybe also a light/pastel lilac purple. Oh, a salmon/coral colour could probably be good too.
I'm excited for these new Speedpaints; I only have a few so far but I've enjoyed the ones I've got. I want the whole set at some point but I haven't been able to drop that much money on paint in one go yet. xD
I really like the new magenta, browns and especially the needed yellows.
Yellow and pink was really missing
I know it can't be done with any of the given pigments so it would have to be something they do at a company level, but fluorescents would be amazing.
With less reactivation, it would be nice to have a light pink that would serve as a good basecoat for yellow. Currently yellow and orange are disappointing in the SP range, would be nice to see other yellow options.
Following up your speedpaints with an oil wash also helps take care of reactivation. They aren't water based, and even after you wipe off the excess, you'll have a thin, protective layer of oil that helps you avoid reactivation.
Thanks for the breakdown of the new colors.
I'm excited about the new prototypes i can't wait to see them when they put them out for sale
The photos of the pigments make me concerned about potential issues with a gritty or spottiness; some of that might be the bases themselves, but there's definitely colors like the primary orange where it looks speckled on the pipes, and that gives me pause. Little surprised there wasn't a warm white, kind of like Pallid Bone but a lot more, well, pallid. You know- something closer to Pale Sand.
Having tried using P3's Armor Wash as a way to add a little more contrast to my slap chop methods, I could see Grey White serving a similar purpose: prime white, then hit with the Grey White all over as a way to nudge the crevices into deeper colors when the next layer of Speedpaint goes over them.
The one colour I see as missing is something between the 3rd turquise from the left and the 4th one. Something like a 50:50 mix of the blue that is under and between them and the 3rd turquise from the left.
Thanks for the preview, looks promising. I like the variety of greens and browns, and agree where you've seen same-y-ness in some of the colours. Maybe more greys and flavours of off-whites like linen, parchment, ivory (as mentioned in another comment).
Not a new paint suggestion but I would think it would be very beneficial to do the lizardmen or organic experiment twice. First test with a flat white primer to see how it naturally pool on a non-flat surface. Second test with a black-white undercoat/zenithal/"slapchop"/whatever you want to call it. These paints really shine with zenithal and see them in practical uses would really help show off what's truly needed in the line-up from the paint development team. It might help differentiate those very similar colors.
We need some pastel colors of pink, blue, purple, and green for painting thin fabrics such as silk
I would with this information love to see what the new line would provide with blends and also if they apply better over also base paints because some times that helps the contrast pop more or look like a really great paint style
I agree with your notes. I have been happy with the AP speed paints, with my limited experience. Been mixing three colors to get close to CYMK palette.
I must admit I have previously tried a couple of their normal paints and didn’t like them so ended up putting them in the bin believe it or not as I couldn’t seem the mix them enough. however, what they are doing with this new range and how they are trying to fix issues and get input from the community makes me feel like giving them another try.
@The Army Painter I think a lot of buyers, myself included, would want pure pigment colors of both the Speed Paint and Warpaint lines. Outside of artist acrylics and oils, I think only Kimera offers pure pigment miniature paints...if you can find them.
If they want something of a differentiation from competitors, they should look at a hyper-shift pigment like you can get on the dip-your-car type of paints. Creates the effects like the sheen on top of an oil spill or something. Would be useful for magic effects... or oil spills :)
Green stuff world already does this!
I really like the speed paints. After great luck with AP standard paint I had to try them.
I think a warm and a cold chromatic black would fill a massive hole in the market. with the single pigments you could mix some up easily.
Oooo. I need that Cool White and Primary Magenta like...now.
Please test oil washes over speed paint.
The way I see them working for me is: value sketch, speed paint, oil wash, heavy body acrylics for highlights.
Because you have these content creators experimenting with the colors this would be a great time to collect that data and come up with a mixing guide for the users.
I think this is really cool. One area that would probably be good to explore is whether this paint is better at achieving colors through layering shades or by mixing pigments, in my mind it's kind of an obvious answer, but testing it out and showing it happen is really where you excel. And there are always some surprises to be found when you start with the alchemical processes.
A darker black, a black/blue, a black/green and an ice blue would be my suggestions.
A red one drker then Saughterer red woud be great. And of course a pale sand speedpaint colour to have a warmer white 😊
I like the new colors, I went in to your site to look while watching. And I like a lot of the newer colors. I hope that they produce a lot of them. But yeah reactivation is tough, I have used it tho to blend some things and worked out pretty well.
I really would like to see more in the Ivory/bone range. I tend to use these a lot as mixers to warm up a lot of the colder ranges that speed/contrast paints seem to steer towards.
I'd love to see them release their bottles with flat white toppers, so you can use them like Dana and have a sample of the color on your bottle.
I thin the major overlaps are in the red, magenta, and blue colors. They need blues which are more similar to cobalt and ultramarine blues (highlord looks more phthalo blue to me), a quinacridone magenta (the darkest magenta is almost there, but is also looks pretty close to purple alchemy which hasn't been my experience when painting that color... weird that yours looks so different), and an alizarin crimson would be great. Other than that, these colors looks great
An idea I've got that might be good is a speed paint in metals... it might be good for armor or pile of gold, silver, scrap
Your so honest :) You don’t even bash the contrast. In fact, you say to buy it. Thanks for being a super honest person. I’ll be trying some speed paints to go with my contrasts
I don't normally comment on TH-cam but had to here as this is such a brilliant video & so good, honest & logical.
