Which was your favourite of the 3 colours guys? That brown was a surprise winner for me, I never would have guessed that! I think a silver edge highlight and the details doing and I'd have sweet looking Necrons for very little work!
WIll there be a video coming with the other colors over metallic? Maybe the yellows/oranges and how they might make an alternative for the orange GW product you have in this video?
I love painting miniatures. But for someone who has less and less time to paint miniatures, these SpeedPaints are going to change my life and hobby. That is some of the best looking metal coloring and I have ever seen and it was accomplished in seconds :O
I painted 120 ork boyz in 3 nights. My friend who I play with most is so excited to play against my orks just because they have a decent paint job. Speedpaints have been a life saver for me. 👍👍👍
I know right, did you see it against my pink speed paint? The pink base coat probably took me 5 mins? Which is fast. This took a minute? And it was less technical and hard work. I’m never doing a Necron another way :-D
@@WatchItPaintIt The only way it might take longer is if you wanted to do the outer panels of the Necrons in a different color than the parts underneath, as I've seen some folks do. But I can't imagine it would take that much time. That, or apply a verdigris onto the bronze one, for a bit of stylistic weathering.
Had to go back and see that video, very nice! If they have a pink version of these speedpaints you could do a version of these with it and get nice results MUCH faster and even easier!
Yeah did you here my “it’s looks okay” to the yellow? I was a bit shocked because I love that normally but it just looked ‘meh’ on the necron. Whereas the others looked sick!
@@WatchItPaintIt Thomas from TAP here - I'll try the yellow when I get back at the office on Tuesday. I did metallic tests with both blue, red and green, but did it with an airbrush. It was a cool test you did though, and I am wondering if our yellow will have same effect on a Storm Cast like Citadels. Thx for a great review :)
I'm three minutes into the video and never mind the video topic, I am BLOWN away by how good Iyanden yellow looks over that army painter primer! It looks like crap over leadbelcher.
I think the brown is a perfect way to paint an army quickly. It's a great look. Actually, all three colours look pretty good. I definitely love the blued steel look that the blue gives and can see me using that for a lot of weapons. The brown definitely is my new go-to colour for Necrons.
I agree with this completely, even the silver was decent, it's just boring compared with the other two! I mean ultimately this is 3 out of 20? colours! Who knows what gems we will find later!
Thanks for the review and can’t wait to get my hands on them in 2022. I’ve subscribed just to hear more of your reviews on the Speed Paints in various applications. Going to have to dig through your vids and see what other gems are in there! Thanks again for your efforts 👍
Thanks Lee! Another two contrast videos will go live this weekend :-) hope they are useful! Lava basing, static grass applicator and cheap Stirland mud are some of the most useful videos IMHO - check them out :-)
That brown is absolutely lovely !! I love working on metallics with what I call "boosted washes" (basically a wash with a regular paint mixed in, it acts roughly like a contrast paint but without paying 6€ for one specific mix) , this looks really interesting, depending on the price I might give it a try when it comes out
So as you painted the necrons, each color of SpeedPaint kept getting better. At first I thought, wow, a nice cobalt blue army would look great, then I thought, damn, that blackened steel is my new favorite, and then I thought, wow, that aged bronze sort of look is definitely the best. If I played Necrons I would gladly paint my army in either of those three colors. Plus your gold also looks great on them.
Same, basically painted for two years none stop with Contrast! So I’m stoked to have more choices. Even if it’s like other paints where some colours are better in one brand than another. I’ll just be happy if they fix purples :-D
Really looking forward to these, are you planning more experiments? Would be very interested in seeing the speed paints applied over a chaotic red primer (that's my favorite primer for bright gold). To bad you didn't get some of the brighter paints as (now I'm thinking about it) the darker the primer the "less" effect you would get with these dark colours.
Yes we are! I’ve been doing the next video already :-) I thought exactly the same, I only have dark colours so I can only try light primers and I bet there’s very little effect across the colours as they are so dark :-(
I'm curious if you were to prime metallic silver and went back with the matte white to dot the eye's or the little balls on the guns and did the one quick coat if the white would have brightened the staturation and changed it into a glow effect - I.E. Grey Blue makes dark cold steel over the silver bits but lightened up the blue effect to the white bits to compliment them - the "Tainted Brass" from the Darkwood is my favorite
Interesting!!! I’ll try it when I get a second. I suspect it’ll just be too similar to notice the difference! I agree that brass grew on me fast once I’ve finished filming. Easily my favourite
For my models, I tend to zenithal with 3 colors (black, grey ~60 degrees, white ~30 degrees), then paint them how I will. However, the weapons/metal parts I paint a GW lead belcher or AP gun metal, and then basillicum grey over that. the metalic sparkles through the contrast. I expect similar from the speedpaints (i'm so buying a set)
I'd be curious to see a comparison between citadel contrast on metallic primer and these models here, much like you did on a previous video with base white primer.
yeah these look great! especially that brown, your right it does look like a rough iron but a lighter version. cant wait to check these out. although I do agree that the dropper bottles kinda stink. probably going to waste a bunch of paint since I never get enough paint, and then I over correct and add too much. only time will tell really
Those look really beautiful, man. The first one looks like way more brass than gold, though. For a golden primer, I've used a rose gold by Krylon and my Necrons look pretty cool. I do love what you did with the other three, though. All three of those Speed Paint colors look so awesome. The blue one is my personal favorite, but I honestly like them about equally. Well done!
Yeah they all look pretty great over silver primer. Since this video I (Mike) have started painted an entire necron army in the blue. I'll have that video out soon :)
Would love to see how they work with an airbrush, contrast paint give amazing results so I’m curious about how speed paint would work (would be a lot more convenient in the dropper bottles )
Would love to see you "finish" these minis to tabletop level. I'm particularly interested in seeing how you'd highlight the brown. It's a wonderfully unique looking result over the metallic.
When I try contrast over metallics it always kills the metallic shine right out of the pot. With the speed paints it seems like they pull of the edges harder, and the finish looks much shinier than non-diluted contrast.
Very interesting demo - the Speed Paint colors are strong and vivid, much more so than a conventional wash, BUT they also seem to let more of the metallic sheen show through than the Contrast. You can make some distinctive metallic "variation colors" with these. I like the Brown/"Dark Bronze" especially. It might make for some striking armor effects in an ancient army. I'd like to see how the lighter Speed Paint colors, the reds and yellows, perform. Any new paint that gets you thinking, "How can I use this? What new effects can I come up with?" is a paint I want to buy. Take my money, Army Painter.
No way These look fantastic As in how contrast was hyped I NEED a few of these I'd like a video in thinning. Perhaps test scientifically? An un speedpaint. One with a thick coat One thinned equal parts with water One thinned equally with acrylic medium and one thinned with airbrush thinner. That's how id do it anyway Keep it up!
I would use all three for one Necron. Brown for the main body, Blue for the joints/pistons/spine and the grey for the gun. I'll go buy it and give it a try. Thanks for the video.
That blue would look wicked on a xenomorph from Aliens!! Also the brown actually does Necrons better than GW tried to do them with the terrible Cryptek Armourshade Gloss!!
Yep - I might go with a slightly lighter brown/tan color than Darkwood, but it's a pretty easy paint scheme. There's a video this friday on fully painting Necrons with a combination of these paints.
Now I'm wondering how these will look through an air brush. I know that isn't the intentional use for them, but Contrast paints from GW go up a notch when used through an airbrush. It's another tool for the toolbox.
I was searching for these paints after your previous video. Can't wait to get my hands on these. GW contrast paints just look flat and boring to me, I can literally tell when someone has used Contrasts. These Army Painter versions seem to actually have some pop to them and think I'll be much happier with them.
That's really interesting you say that, I'm just filming another test - Speedpaint vs Contrast, and I was trying to think how I would describe the difference in some of the colours, and "pop" is the word! 2 of the 3 colours I have to test "pop" wayyyy more than the Contrast counterparts! If I remember to say that in the conclusion tomorrow, pat yourself on the back because It's from you!
The brown speedpaint over chainmail was the closes thing I have ever seen to proper "oiled bronze". I'm not sure where that would come into play but its a color type I have never seen before used in miniature painting and I kind of love it. That blue was also very impressive. The amount edge highlighting is probably more than I would do in a traditional table top standard paint job. After viewing Speedpaint over white and over metallic I think they look WAY better over the metallic paint. I'm not a fan of how they give muddy transitions over white but I don't really see that over the metal. It may have been different application IDK. Honestly that contrast gold is my least favorite. Army Painter makes THE BEST range of true metallic golds IMHO. Why not just paint gold with gold?
I agree, I could see owning these paints, JUST to paint colour metals and nothing else. I'm a big fan of The Army Painter metallics range, I have some really nice premium metallic paints and 95% of the time I still grab my cheap Army Painter ones because they work so well. The only reason I don't do gold with gold anymore is because it takes longer. It looks good, it looks better, but it takes a LOT longer for me, if nothing else, multiple coats, if not more problems on top, depending what the base/prime colour is.
All three of the colors are pretty great, but I think the Gravelord Gray came out the best! I wonder if a base coat of metallic would work with other contrasts? Cause speed paints aren't out yet but I do have contrasts on the way. Any tips?
I was wondering how the Blue one thinned down will look over the grey. I am thinking that a speedier approach for my aliens (or the nemesis miniatures) could be made. Care to test?
This is a great idea, do you know something really bad.... I don't own black spray :-/ I can't do a zenithal prime. I will go to the shops tomorrow and correct this!
This is just the video I need. I've not painted W40K miniatures since the 90's but I've been given some Necrons. I've primed them with Gun Metal and I'm exploring the speed paints as I don't want to spend a fortune on 101 different Citadel paints.
@@WatchItPaintIt You mentioned in a few videos you mentioned adding some detail post-speed paint. Since many of us will be joining the hobby due to speed paint being affordable, I'm sure many of us are curious what that entails. Thanks!
From this I can see that the new speedpaints have solved an issue that contrast has, which is that contrast pulls up the undercoats of paint whereas the integrity of them is maintained by the speedpaints.
You're making me want to buy an airbrush :-D I feel like the learning curve is too steep that I couldn't fairly review if the speedpaints are good or my airbrushing let it down!
As one thick coat over smooth wide surfaces it looks decent but anything with edges or details it sucks a$$ as a "one coat paint". Dry brushing is a solution to that issue but it adds an extra step obviously. Without the drybrush it leaves nearly pure white on the raised edges. Vallejo Metallic Air or regular Vallejo metallic paint with airbrush medium in a 2:1 paint to medium ratio gives you a fast, single coat paint with a wash and/or drybrush that looks much better in the same number of steps. P.S. I did test speedpaint as a wash over standard metallic and I thought the result looked better than the standard wash you'd normally use.
All of those just looked sublime. Even better than the Contrast one. That one looked like it needed a good dark wash to bring out the recesses. Wheres the Speed Painted ones didn't need it, they already looked sufficiently dark washed. This kind of makes me want to buy some Necrons and paint up a Kill Team. Also, yes I would like to see a video with the Speed Paints watered down a little. Just for comparison.
Yeah the speedpaints looked like they meshed really well with the colour of the primer coat, contrast is known for pulling up and disrupting the undercoats which is why that contrast yellow wasn't as reflective as the others.
Which was your favourite of the 3 colours guys? That brown was a surprise winner for me, I never would have guessed that! I think a silver edge highlight and the details doing and I'd have sweet looking Necrons for very little work!
Definitely love the blue first and the brown second
Is there any gold/platinum paint?
@@akumaking1 There are several yellow colors that would make great gold colors over metal primer.
Never thought of painting contrast and now speed paint which I got at the weekend over mettalics but will give it a go now
WIll there be a video coming with the other colors over metallic? Maybe the yellows/oranges and how they might make an alternative for the orange GW product you have in this video?

Yeah really :) They all looked great in their own way.
Had to go back and see that video, very nice! If they have a pink version of these speedpaints you could do a version of these with it and get nice results MUCH faster and even easier!
All three Speedpaints gave better contrast than Iyanden Yellow, and that brown over silver looked gorgeous!
Yeah did you here my “it’s looks okay” to the yellow? I was a bit shocked because I love that normally but it just looked ‘meh’ on the necron. Whereas the others looked sick!
@@WatchItPaintIt Yep, your Stormcast at the beginning looked great.
Hope I get their version of yellow soon. Very interested in trying that!
@@WatchItPaintIt Thomas from TAP here - I'll try the yellow when I get back at the office on Tuesday. I did metallic tests with both blue, red and green, but did it with an airbrush.

It looks like crap over leadbelcher.

Ok, so I'm now eyeing that brown-over-silver recipe for my Skaven metals, and am interested to see how the rest of the line fairs in this same method.
I’d like to see a similar experiment done over zenithal primed models.
We’ll make that happen! Stay tuned
Keep these coming pal! Great work!
I really like the brown. It came out, looking like a tarnished bronze. Looks very steam punk.
that blue lightly painted over silver looks like a really easy way to paint Grey Knights armor
Love the video, definitely looking forwards to see more about these paints. Going to get the big box of them whey come out.
Thanks for the review and can’t wait to get my hands on them in 2022. I’ve subscribed just to hear more of your reviews on the Speed Paints in various applications. Going to have to dig through your vids and see what other gems are in there! Thanks again for your efforts 👍

I especially loved the cloudburst blue, this will be ideal for my Terminator Army!
That brown is absolutely lovely !!

I LOVE how that brown on metallic turned out. It looks like a dark gold / brass color and I want to use it for something.
I'm sold on the speed paints. I just bought Fireteam and now I know how to paint the Necrons.
I am soooo looking forward to the AP speed paints!
That antique bronze effect makes me want to start a super steampunk ad mech army. Very good video 👍🏼
This is just what I needed. Brilliant test and greatly appreciated.
All the colours look pretty fantastic over silver!
Definitely a success! The Brown looks amazing!
Absolutely, I can see owning this paint range solely for painting over metallics, and I wouldn't regret it one bit!
Dude these are all beautiful
The brown turned out really nice, surprisingly. But I think the blue would look amazing as a thin coat over metal with no pooling. Worth a try.
Really interesting. Blue, as you say, looks like blue steel. The grey looks like pewter but the Dark Wood looks awesome! Just so steampunk 😀
A mix of the grey and blue would look great
Omg I’m just about to order that combo, genius 😅
"Mixing balls included." That may have sealed the deal for me.
Yeah it was a nice surprise when we shook them up!
Good test mini - big flat areas interspersed with detail.
Thanks for the test!
I love it! Can't wait for the mega sett in April!

As someone who is getting back in warhammer I have to say the speed paints are absolutely worth buying whether you are new or experienced in painting
This looks so good! I now actually want to wait for these to paint my Necrons. The bronze-brown one looks the best, but all of them work really well.
Would be interesting to see what these look like over a zenithal prime.
It's Adam's prefered way to apply them!
Wait wait wait: Zenithal, with metallics! Basecoat black, spray gunmetal from 45º, then bright silver from above!
I've thought about that :) I haven't tried it yet, but it's on the to-do list! - Mike
For my models, I tend to zenithal with 3 colors (black, grey ~60 degrees, white ~30 degrees), then paint them how I will.

Beautiful aged bronze look tbh. Though blue'ish one looks nice as well!
Great, useful, video. Thanks!
Best review of these new paints so far. They look good. Could you test them on something that has fur?
Did our first video not count? They were wolves with fur! Rubbish models, but fur nevertheless?
@@WatchItPaintIt DOH! I missed it. Thanks!
Weird. I thought I would really like the grey and dislike the brown. The grey is good. The blue is great. The brown is spectacular!
Ditto!
The blue steel one is absolutely gorgeous!
I love that dark wood metallic combo. Kind of like an aged out necron veteran.
Wow they looked even better than I thought. I too am a convert. Note to self must use metallic primer more often.
Yeah. I’m maybe over using it these days but I love how it looks with contrast/Speedpaint over it
I'd be curious to see a comparison between citadel contrast on metallic primer and these models here, much like you did on a previous video with base white primer.

Yeah they all look pretty great over silver primer. Since this video I (Mike) have started painted an entire necron army in the blue. I'll have that video out soon :)
I'd really like to see a comparison with inks
Love this test!!! thanks and good job.
Very cool -- Another test I'd like to see is how these look over a high contrast zenithal prime
Just got a few more AP colors. Working on a zenithal test now.
I am about to paint a bunch of Necrons. I love all 3. I may have to paint a multi colored army. 🤔 Defiantly base coating in silver!
Would love to see how they work with an airbrush, contrast paint give amazing results so I’m curious about how speed paint would work (would be a lot more convenient in the dropper bottles )
[Ben] Great suggestion! I don't own an airbrush - but Mike does! He should have a few bottles next week, so perhaps he will try them in an airbrush :O
Great stuff friend 👏 👍

Would love to see you "finish" these minis to tabletop level. I'm particularly interested in seeing how you'd highlight the brown. It's a wonderfully unique looking result over the metallic.

As in how contrast was hyped
I NEED a few of these
I'd like a video in thinning.
Perhaps test scientifically?
An un speedpaint.
One with a thick coat
One thinned equal parts with water
One thinned equally with acrylic medium and one thinned with airbrush thinner.
That's how id do it anyway
Keep it up!
Great suggestion! We’ll get to testing that! Stay tuned
Love the humor sprinkled throughout 😅
I would use all three for one Necron. Brown for the main body, Blue for the joints/pistons/spine and the grey for the gun. I'll go buy it and give it a try. Thanks for the video.
Great idea!
I love Army Painter but I switched to Contrast paints as I don't have a lot of spare time these days. Looks like I might be switching back 👍
Cloudburst Blue seems like a goood cheat code for speed painting a ton of Grey Knightsx
It's very intense, so I totally agree.
The blue over silver would make a good grim Ultra Marines scheme. I love metallic colors on Space Marines, personally.
Me too! I have a bunch of them painted up like that myself!
Kinda think a drop pf medium might make them even better,but will have to try once i pick up a few.
For some reason I never thought of using contrast paints in metal primer... I need to buy another can of silver primer now.
I just ordered a new one too :-D I’m going to hard a necron army in a few minutes :-D
Yoo its looks so easy and simple and good.
That blue would look wicked on a xenomorph from Aliens!! Also the brown actually does Necrons better than GW tried to do them with the terrible Cryptek Armourshade Gloss!!
Darkwood + Gravelord, combined with a little green, and you pretty much have the box art version of the necrons.
Yep - I might go with a slightly lighter brown/tan color than Darkwood, but it's a pretty easy paint scheme. There's a video this friday on fully painting Necrons with a combination of these paints.
The brown one reminds me of that old Gw color Tin Bitz
Thanks for doing this mate, super excited wondering the price point. But also if you get a green please do some Orks for Orktober
Did you see Mike did an ork? But used contrast :-D

looks good to me, I would use the airbrush cause I would presume like contrast that they go on nice and smooth
The dark brown looks to me like old metal and really oily. Quite like it.
That's amazing, im gonna use the blue steel way for my Chaos warriors :)
The brown speedpaint over chainmail was the closes thing I have ever seen to proper "oiled bronze". I'm not sure where that would come into play but its a color type I have never seen before used in miniature painting and I kind of love it. That blue was also very impressive.

Whaaooo! GW could have some problems here. Thanks.
I’d like to see the brown Speedpaint over a gold or brass, it may end up looking like the long lost Tin Bitz!

I would too! So I’ll almost definitely do that when I’ve caught my breath :-)
Maybe, with a zenithal with a lighter silver before the contrast can create really a awesome effect

This is my favourite way of painting necrons at the moment! Hardest bit is picking which one looks best!
I'm curious what additional colors would look like: white, purple, orange, green, etc.
Me too! I need more necrons
@@WatchItPaintIt You mentioned in a few videos you mentioned adding some detail post-speed paint. Since many of us will be joining the hobby due to speed paint being affordable, I'm sure many of us are curious what that entails. Thanks!
From this I can see that the new speedpaints have solved an issue that contrast has, which is that contrast pulls up the undercoats of paint whereas the integrity of them is maintained by the speedpaints.
These look great
Brown is amazing. Can you try thinning them with medium, water and contrast medium?
Great idea!
yeah i think it was the brown for me too. would be nice to see how they would have gone on the silver with an airbrush.
You're making me want to buy an airbrush :-D I feel like the learning curve is too steep that I couldn't fairly review if the speedpaints are good or my airbrushing let it down!
I want the paints, NOW!
How do the speedpaints compare to similar contrast grays, browns and blues?
I think Chaos warriors in black armour are somewhat mundane. This technique with these paints looks very interesting.
now i am hyped
As one thick coat over smooth wide surfaces it looks decent but anything with edges or details it sucks a$$ as a "one coat paint". Dry brushing is a solution to that issue but it adds an extra step obviously. Without the drybrush it leaves nearly pure white on the raised edges.
Vallejo Metallic Air or regular Vallejo metallic paint with airbrush medium in a 2:1 paint to medium ratio gives you a fast, single coat paint with a wash and/or drybrush that looks much better in the same number of steps.
P.S. I did test speedpaint as a wash over standard metallic and I thought the result looked better than the standard wash you'd normally use.
Please repeat with the rest of the range!
I wanted to do just that but I’m all out of necrons!
All of those just looked sublime. Even better than the Contrast one. That one looked like it needed a good dark wash to bring out the recesses. Wheres the Speed Painted ones didn't need it, they already looked sufficiently dark washed.
This kind of makes me want to buy some Necrons and paint up a Kill Team.
Also, yes I would like to see a video with the Speed Paints watered down a little. Just for comparison.
Yeah the speedpaints looked like they meshed really well with the colour of the primer coat, contrast is known for pulling up and disrupting the undercoats which is why that contrast yellow wasn't as reflective as the others.
How does it work with preshading or wetblending?
Wetblending test is a sweet idea. Thanks! Hopefully you will see it soon
That aged bronze look would be great for Steampunk style miniatures.
Like SMOG! I wish I had that game
@@WatchItPaintIt I have enough CMON miniatures in my cupboard of shame as it is..
Could you do a video please 🙏 with Blue and grey mixed, and tones lighter versus 🆚 darker shades. Thank you 🙏 😊
Hope you do the rest of the colors of SpeedPaint for mettalics
I’m going to need to buy more Necrons!!! :-D
@@WatchItPaintIt I'll help you out with that lol
