Oh I am not enjoying the speed paints “so much”… I am enjoying them “too much”. So glad I purchased and tried the 1.0 a month ago. And the 2.0 complete set is awesome! Thank you AP! You guys rock! 😅🎨🎨🎨
Speedpaints are amazing when you use proper technique and it’s not easy I think people get disappointed when they realize to use them properly is way harder than how they market
Honestly as someone who's painted minis since the 90s and went from the evolution of craft paints to airbrushes, I absolutely love these things. I took a long break a few years back to find out these have come out and just simply fell in love with the potential of speed painting an army then making them better as you progress in both time and skill.
Great videos. I bought the Speedpaint 1.0 set about a year ago and found them great for getting back into painting after a loooooong break (since the mid-90s!!!) They really open up the hobby yet give plenty of scope for experimenting. Your videos inspire me to try more techniques with them (even though ive alos got a bunch of citadel paints too). Considering getting the 2.0 set to increase the spec trum of colours ive got to hand.
I rly love my speedpaints. They rly revived my lust to paint. One major part is, that u see progress so fast (helps motivation a lot). Std. Acrylics jobs look bad until the finish.
I am hyped for fanatics Speed Paints have been the best product I've picked up. I had problems working with traditional/GW layering, but Speed Paints are out of the bottle consistent translucent paints, and have been a much better starting point me to work up an understand of transparent layers. I am much more excited to do zenithal, working to understand undercoating, painted on shadow, and glazing. For me they skipped a timing consuming boring portion of painting and allow me to focus my learning and efforts in an area with a lot of effectivity.
I love speedpaints, their so go for applying contrast, I can't understand people who dismiss tools because they think it's beneath them. A good crafts person uses every tool at their disposal.
Don, thank you for showing me some new techniques for AP SP 2.0 as ive been on the fence about expanding the paint range I have. You have shown how versatile these paints can be. I really love how much contrast there seems to be. Keep on making great content. 9.5/10
Amazing results! Thanks for sharing your expertise 👍 I love my speedpaints, mostly because i get decent results very fast with it, i have now rekindled my interest for painting, and no longer feel daunted by takling larger amounts of minis. I'm a gamer first, so for me speed and headaches-free methods are most valued, just a perfect product for me. I'm glad to see ot can even be used as a base for high quality finish. 👏👏
I just tried the Speedpaint 2.0 last night for the first time. I desperately wanted to hate them because I love to do highly detailed painting, but I also never manage to finish painting an army, and I love horde armies. So, I decided to try them. I painted a tyranid for a test model, it was done in about 45 minutes including me picking out details with my normal paints, and the bug looks great. Like, would not be at all embarrassed to put him on the table. These are going to be perfect for me because I can use speedpaints on my troops, then spend all the time i want on my character models and special units. I am so excited now, cannot wait to get the kids to school so i can try more color combinations on the other 6 tyranids i primed for testing!
Oh man, I feel you are having a blast! So awesome to hear people’s thoughts on AP Speed Paints. We just do not have enough Army Painter painting videos here, but these paints are awesome! 😊🎨🎨🎨
@DonSuratos I'm loving them! Terribly expensive though... I'd always wanted to do a Tyranid army, but with my painting style a horde army was just not feasible... my husband saw me knock out a gaunt in a half-hour and is buying me a 'Nid army for Christmas! Thank you for your video, I'd watched a few but you were by far the clearest and after seeing your video I sat down and painted up a bug I'll be proud to put on the table in under 30 minutes. I've made first cut in Golden Demon (Baltimore games day, back when the US bunker was still in Maryland), never lofted a Slayer sword but I still have pretty high standards, and 100% these paints quickly produce a model that I'll be proud to field in my army. Absolutely awesome man, thank you!
All paint is a tool, just as a model, mediums, inks and stains, etc etc. These are all toold for an artist to achieve the goal at hand. 2nd note, the person with the nasty comment may be a narcissist. Choosing to make the process of achieve ones goal more difficult through sheer arrogance and self attacking. I enjoy that you are proud of your tools.
beautiful work with your painting, I actually found army painter speed paints work amazing through an airbrush, I now use 90% AP SP for all my big airbrush projects, the only annoying thing, is I loved the first release of speed paints, as the reactivation was a feature I was used to, having a background in using oil paints and washes, it was a really fast way of adding edge highlights by base painting the model in the highlight colour, varnish, then painting on the base colour and when it was dried, just rubbing the raised surfaces with a cloth, or q tip, to remove the paint it doesn't work the same with 2.0 :(
I randomly discovered your channel and it's a good surprise ! I can't stop using speedpaints now, I was always procrastinating and never really finished a project, but with the speedpaint I found the motivation again, you can have good results with the slapchop way and a little highlights, and When you can finish an army in 1 month, it let you more time to paint for fun :) it motivated me to discover more advanced painting technique :) .
I only have the starter set of the Warpaints Air. So my triad is just one color of the triad. But the 6 color triad of fanatics should be awesome! 😊🎨🎨🎨
That is right kabayan! Accuracy is NOT relaxing... that's stressful LOL! Speed paints are great for parents too during their down-time or when the kids are napping / resting, you have time to slap on paint on your minis and do a bit of hobby time before the kids wake up and be on parent mode again. More power to your channel.
The contrast style paints are great, they take all the hard work out of getting a good looking paintjob. I can understand why the old grognards who had to struggle for years with the traditional methods are annoyed at these, I only have a painted Ork army because of contrast paints.
Loos so good your way of painting and the tools are there, some ppl feel like they suck so when they saw how others make great paintings they get mad so don’t mind those guys
Any tips for Robes. Using Slaughter Red as the base but no idea what to do to it after. Using entire Speedpaint range. Love your videos. Im more into the getting model done fast to put on the table but even your larger model tutorials have plenty of tip. Would love to see some more 40k stuff and how to make simple infantry look a lot better
😂 love this video. I’ve been on fence about 2.0 after my experiences with 1.0. You’ve nudged me in right direction - interested to see you still Matt varnish 2.0 - do they need it?
This video actually started with 1.0s. I love them too. I must do a video that utilizes the reactivation. The 2.0 does not need varnishing. But my background is Gunpla. And we varnish almost in between steps. Old habit. 😅
Thanks for the video, you explain really well and your painting edit is as good as the results. Am getting Mantic's new dungeon saga today and aiming for the high bar you've set here. Will check out your minis too.
@@DonSuratos Its better than many attempts I've seen and because you have to chose your words with care it's actually clearer to me as an English speaker. Great stuff 👍🏻
Your page is a blast: If you don't know how to level up your paints, try to apply oils paints (you did in the past) after base coating with SP. Maybe that could show us additional interesting technics using two complete different paint types. And then finalizing highlights with "pastel acrylic colors". Does it sounds like a challenge for you? Greetings a 2 month old follower from Spain
I really liked Speedpaints 1.0 and was disappointed when AP announced it would be discontinued. They did something the other similar paints didn't. I like the 2.0 line, though. Just another tool to use and have fun with.
One thing i have learnt about TH-cam is if you looking for comedy check the comments..the trolls are ridiculous. Question about speedpaints..i have version 1 and i like them, they take there time to dry, level out and leave a good finish without coffee stains. Version 2 though...dry quickly , they look patchy to me. I was wondering what you thought about this or am i wrong ? :)
You are right! The 2.0 dries a tad faster. But the finish, good or not are just the base colors for me. So even coffee stains is fine for me in a few colors. 😊
Great video and quite inspiring to a newbie in the painting world:) Would you suggest zenithal priming from black to white for doing painting with purely speed paints?
Would you need a wet palette (like one would need to prepare for normal acrylic paint) when using this type of paint? I've also heard that its difficult to go over the speedpaint again with a second coat (e.g. if these are the ONLY paints I own, and if i wanted to correct a colour or highlight, could I do it?), so is that a concern? Would you need a clear coat on them at the end?
Yes. Patreon videos are usually 20 minutes or longer. But not all TH-cam videos has a “masterclass” video. Currently, this month, I only have 4 masterclass videos. 😊
Hello ! :) would you recommend Model Color over Game Color ? I want the big set and i cant see trough.. whats better for painting. I did read so many different views ^^
@@DonSuratos Thanks for your answer! Big up to you btw❤️ I will choose Model Color, because it seems more realistic, I use Vallejo Sets for leather, and they are amazing. Its Model Color and I think it fits a more realistic style.
Actually, normaly I just do fat glazes with OSL for smaller ( 32mm ) minis. But I want to finish faster these days, thus the airbrush. I do think I have a ton of older videos not using an aibrush for osl effects. 😊🎨🎨🎨
How does airbrush primer work compared to spray primer using Speedpaints? I hate using spray primer, and I would like to know what is the best white airbrush primer (and perhaps a grey primer?)..
I painted / primed a couple of minis with Warpaints Air grey primer, then Warpaints Air white. Then gave it a quick Mecha matte varnish. No problems at all as expected. 😊
These days everyone has an opinion about everything. I never got the hate from some people on speedpaints. Its super fun, gives quick results and when you push it further it is not much more than a quicker version of a traditional basecoat. And I highly doubt that that dude who commented can do better traditional paintjobs, than what you did with the speedpaints. :D
Saying that a certain paint is for children is like saying a person using a digital camera isn't a "photographer" since they're not using film. Good lord. Talk about gatekeeping.
PFFT. That's just elitist gatekeeping and snobbery There is no wrong way to paint. Been doing it 30+ years. Whatever paint you like whatever style you like whatever works for you and makes it fun is the right way.
I did not agree that it was a form of “gatekeeping”… elitist for sure. But in my years in gunpla and painting, I have never met a gatekeeper that is actually good in their hobby. They all validate themselves by gatekeeping. 😅
you are right and honesty they are just a tool like anything. very close to a watercolor type style. nothing childish about it. unless its about having fun like when you started art when you were a child and it was just about the fun and freedom. 😄 @@DonSuratos
@@DonSuratos I think the "gatekeeping" here is that some elitists feel you cannot use any shortcuts to paint minis, you need to always take the "hard route". This is why these snobs dislike speedpainting, they think it isn't "real painting" because painting needs to be hard and frustrating. They think you need to suffer, before you deserve the good results. Speedpaints make this hobby far more enjoyable and accessible, this is a good thing!
@@htpkey I am 46 I not always have time or energy to paint, speed paint is a good way to me to save time and have good enough looking minis to play Kill Team. These elitist douches are in every hoppy or game. They are one of the reasons I went back to play single player games and only play tabletop with friends.
I paint landscapes and do some acrilic paint pouring,,theres no real way,its not about painting to make others happy,its about makking yourself happy. Do your own thing for yourself ,no ones in any position to tell you your doing it wrong....throw the rules away......there are No rules in art.
My gripe with Army painter is speed paint 1.0 was horrible to work with in comparisson to contrast or the new Vallejo Xpress. Didn't bother getting 2.0 after splashing out 89$ on paints that was sub par. And thier normal acrylics is prob the worst in the market. I do have hope for the new Fanatic range however. But ALOT is going to make me swap away from my go to paints from citadel/vallejo/proAcryl and AK.
I had the same experience. AP clearly put a lot of marketing into the 1.0 speedpaints and seem to be doing the same this time around. Once bitten, as they say...
I think this video would've been better had you showed the paints and consistencies of said paint, as you were applying layers. It definitely would've been more informative. Also, stop feeding the trolls. Trolls feed on attention.
When it comes to the most annoying and ridiculous people out there I personally think that people who complain about how other people hobby because they aren't hobbying the way I hobby and therefore they hobby their hobby wrong are probably in my top 10.
Really?! Then they should really sponsor you. You have been putting out excellent content and providing a nice variety of techniques using these products.
Buying paint is a joke. The whole point of the exercise is accuracy, relaxation and creativity. Geetting paint instead of mixing and extracting your own dyes from nature is for children.
I am painting since 90s and I've seen a lot of such moron "speedpains is for children". Thing is, I almost sure that he himself is not capable of making a decent paintjob and now literally everyone got a tool to make result he can't achieve, hence the butthurt =) I have my speedpaints 2.0 and I never looked back because it saves so much time. One of the greatest products, gives beginners an opportunity to get their armies done in short time and still looking good, and for more professional folks it's a tool of many applications.

How does airbrush primer work compared to spray primer using Speedpaints? I hate using spray primer, and I would like to know what is the best white airbrush primer (and perhaps a grey primer?)..
I painted / primed a couple of minis with Warpaints Air grey primer, then Warpaints Air white. Then gave it a quick Mecha matte varnish. No problems at all as expected. 😊
@@DonSuratos I was asking because Angel Giraldez says there is a difference between spray and airbrush primer with Xpress colors (spray being better)
These days everyone has an opinion about everything. I never got the hate from some people on speedpaints. Its super fun, gives quick results and when you push it further it is not much more than a quicker version of a traditional basecoat. And I highly doubt that that dude who commented can do better traditional paintjobs, than what you did with the speedpaints. :D
Haha! Well, I never ever met a gatekeeper, both in gunpla and miniature painting, that are good in their respective hobbies. 😅
U use white primer or what color? And then what brand for the white?
Warpaints Air White for the white. 😊

Saying that a certain paint is for children is like saying a person using a digital camera isn't a "photographer" since they're not using film. Good lord. Talk about gatekeeping.

@@DonSuratos I think the "gatekeeping" here is that some elitists feel you cannot use any shortcuts to paint minis, you need to always take the "hard route".
This is why these snobs dislike speedpainting, they think it isn't "real painting" because painting needs to be hard and frustrating. They think you need to suffer, before you deserve the good results.
Speedpaints make this hobby far more enjoyable and accessible, this is a good thing!
@@htpkey I am 46 I not always have time or energy to paint, speed paint is a good way to me to save time and have good enough looking minis to play Kill Team. These elitist douches are in every hoppy or game. They are one of the reasons I went back to play single player games and only play tabletop with friends.
Why do you prefer AP Speedpaints over Xpress? I’m curious…
They pay him
@@millr8222Nope. How I wish. 😉
Vallejo can be hard to get, even in America. I could guess it is very hard to find in the Philippines
@@DonSuratosso why then?
Work work
plus work. 😅
Argh idk get it my crusader skin just doesn't come out that way its way more red im not sure if i got a bad batch or something.
Try painting Peachy Flesh first, then Crusader skin as a wash ( thin down with Speedpaint medium ). 😊
I can't say that I'm not interested in the upcoming army painter fanatic line
If it’s as good as it sounds, it’s going to crush Citadel.
relax.@@johnsmith3085
SAME ( all caps )! I like how Army Painter “innovates”. 😊
Citadels are mighty good… just too expensive. Unfortunately I have a ton of them. 😅
Where does he get his minis from
Patreon. 😊
@@DonSuratos Which Patreon do you get it from? :) I'm trying to replace some of my minis from HeroQuest :D
you mmf dwarf lord gives a 404 error when trying to purchase.
Oh thanks! I do not manage our MMF. Will tell my biz partner. Thanks! 😊
I paint landscapes and do some acrilic paint pouring,,theres no real way,its not about painting to make others happy,its about makking yourself happy. Do your own thing for yourself ,no ones in any position to tell you your doing it wrong....throw the rules away......there are No rules in art.
My gripe with Army painter is speed paint 1.0 was horrible to work with in comparisson to contrast or the new Vallejo Xpress. Didn't bother getting 2.0 after splashing out 89$ on paints that was sub par. And thier normal acrylics is prob the worst in the market. I do have hope for the new Fanatic range however. But ALOT is going to make me swap away from my go to paints from citadel/vallejo/proAcryl and AK.
Oh… I bought my first set of Speedpaint 1.0 a month ago. And I cannot stop buying smaller sets. Including the Warpaint Air set. 😊
I had the same experience. AP clearly put a lot of marketing into the 1.0 speedpaints and seem to be doing the same this time around. Once bitten, as they say...
I think this video would've been better had you showed the paints and consistencies of said paint, as you were applying layers. It definitely would've been more informative. Also, stop feeding the trolls. Trolls feed on attention.
Oh I don’t do “reviews” like that. I actually paint a mini and discuss. Sooo many review channels already. Thanks for watching my free video. 😊
u are aware that we still can read that name of that dude that has the same name like a famous athlet?
Oh sheesh! 😱😱😱
When it comes to the most annoying and ridiculous people out there I personally think that people who complain about how other people hobby because they aren't hobbying the way I hobby and therefore they hobby their hobby wrong are probably in my top 10.
Haha! Maybe they cannot even hobby? 😅
Number 1, they paid me to sponsor the paints
NO. I bought the paints. 😉
Really?! Then they should really sponsor you. You have been putting out excellent content and providing a nice variety of techniques using these products.
Buying paint is a joke. The whole point of the exercise is accuracy, relaxation and creativity. Geetting paint instead of mixing and extracting your own dyes from nature is for children.
I am painting since 90s and I've seen a lot of such moron "speedpains is for children". Thing is, I almost sure that he himself is not capable of making a decent paintjob and now literally everyone got a tool to make result he can't achieve, hence the butthurt =)
I have my speedpaints 2.0 and I never looked back because it saves so much time. One of the greatest products, gives beginners an opportunity to get their armies done in short time and still looking good, and for more professional folks it's a tool of many applications.
As every thing miniature painting also has elitist douches.
I am relatively new to miniature painting, but realized that yes, there are dumb gatekeepers too. ☺️
I'll never be able to afford the sets pike u all do since u all get for free. I even seen channels with 300 subs get mega set free wtf
I actually bought my first few sets. 😊 Why so bitter on a Sunday?
