The simple fact that you made consistency across the range a priority is a major plus. I love gaming but don't want to have to roll dice to find out how much coverage each paint has.
If these were available now I'd buy them for christmass, as close to a complete line of them that I could manage. In other words no more teasing, get these puppies on the shelves!
Have yall thought of making something like a vortex mixer. In the interest of reducing time needed shaking paints as they are so heavily pigmented when they separate it can cause someone to not use, or just hesitate to use, it rather than shake it to the point of making it viable again.
+1, I would buy this as well, my Robart is so loud and it walks. The Vortex mixers are too $$ for me to upgrade but maybe AP can make a slightly more affordable version.
@@aonline_abridged definitely. I have one of the $100 ones from amazon and I love it. I'd like a second one but the convenience of one at my main desk and another at my spray booth doesn't out weight the cost.

I have a vortex and the the Robart. I never use either of them, what I use is tamiya stirring sticks. I use a peice of tissue to pull out the nozzle and then stir them with the wide blade end of the stick, this works much better, faster and cheaper than any other solution I've ever tried.

Hyped for the paints, but it's also cool the audio is a decent level on this video for once. ;) Keep doing as you do TAP, the hype train has no brakes.
Mixed feelings about the paint. I don't hate it, but I don't love it. What I found it works great on is terrain. I could also see new and/or less skilled painters (some people hate it I hear) getting a lot of use out of it as well because it DOES work as advertised... its VERY weird and unpredictable to paint over so far.
Number on item on our Christmas wish list this year.Cant wait to see my sons eyes when he gets to use these.He is (13 years old)a beginning painter (a little over a year now) and getting pretty good but his enthusiasm is waning a little .I cant think of anything that will super charge his enthusiasm more than these.
Just curious on the release date on these paints. Seeing them being marketed and promoted a lot lately so wanting to get my hands on some asap as I really am switching all my colors from the Citadel line to just Army Painter. I was VERY impressed by the Game Master terrain maker kit I got from y’all to the point I want to focus primarily on your brand. The wet pallet I got last year was a god send as well.
well I just bought them yesterday and already paint my Fallout: board game miniatures from FFG and OMG its gorgeours... thank you Army painter crew... this product is ingenious
Looking very much forward to these. Would have made a brilliant Christmas present.... Oh well guess I'll have to wait for around my birthday in March 😂
Wow, those miniatures looked great! Can't wait until these paints become available, I hope soon I have soooo many Reaper Bones models I need to paint!!
I hope there is a part 2 about undercoating, mixing and thinning so we can truly appreciate what these paints can do, personally I'll be getting the full set it's got so many colours that appeals to me.
I'd like to see more of them fully painting the models like the archer since it only took about 8 minutes. I know he said it was longer but that was deciding colors. Because something that detailed in the same time they did the orc figure that wasn't as detailed (color in color) would be neat to see.
Never really used this line before the last 10 months... been using the speed paints and the old lines from the 50* starter set and been loving it.... why now; the video content. Ya'll seem to have a great company. Sans any mission statement, all the content has shown me enough. Keep up the great work!
As a total noob to the hobby (I've painted a whopping one mini), I've been very interested in contrast painting... These look fantastic, and at half of the cost of Citadel's line; I know what my next purchase will be. :)
I have experience with Citadel's contrast paints only and I will certainly try AP's speed paints but I guess from the look here I will have the same issue with them as with contrast paints: The results are way to exaggareted in terms of saturation and brightness - at least for my taste. Maybe it is just the studio lights, but with contrasts I always had to add a dry brush with some muted tone of the model (grey or brown) to tone it down. This makes it again an at least 2-step-process all-in-all so not much of a decreased time and effort. But certainly another nice tool to utilize.
Please do a tutorial on how to handle your brushes. Everything from handling, cleaning, storage to what you do between painting 2 different colours. I find that to be something hardly anyone discuss and would be a real benefit to the beginning painter (me!).
if you do zenithal, please make sure you are doing the speedpainting carefully, i had this problem when i was practicing with zenithal highlight.i had this mistake very very recently If you undercoat it with white then no problem, you messed up? just smack it with white, zenithal? yeah that's gonna be annoying to fix.
Im really looking forward to use them, but for everyone new to the hobby: these are awesome, no doubt, but it still takes time and training to do as this video shows.
This paint is ideal if your painting ability is 4/10 or less. For anyone 5/10 or higher you can do a better job with standard warpaints & patience. You can see the result at the end of this video 12:15 Those highlights are just barely tinted primer & you can tell. If you need to splash some paint on minis for a wargame, great! If you want an artistic result, just use normal paints.
this is a great product. This has helped me to finish a couple of models I've been wanting to complete for awhile. Also great price point. I really appreciate that
I could not recommend speedpaints enough for terrain and large batch painting, but with smaller minis (such as my tau) you either want to invest in more of their range beyond the starter set or go over with a acrylic, the drying time seems to be a bit high but overall they are really great
Are you going to sell the acrylic medium ? I would be interested to be able to modulate the pigment concentration. Also, I would love to see even more advanced tricks, like wet blending, and gradients.
I've just started painting zombicide with your speedpaint set, am i supposed to dilute the speedpaint with the speedpaint medium bottle every time? I've just been diluting with water so far
Very excited for these! I've been using Citadel Contrast over a zenithal highlight (including the drying brushing stage/painting in highlights in white first), I tend to add further highlights after dependent on the project, can't wait to see how these compare. This kind of process is perfect for smaller scales, I've been using it on Warlord Games Epic Battles ranges, can't wait to get my hands on some of your blues for French Epic Napoleonic as the darker Citadel Contrast ones don't quite do what I want them to, and yours look very promising from the videos I've seen.
Is it me or the crusader skin color look completely different from the label to the model? On the model it seemed far to dark. I just brought myself the speed paint after not painting anything for a few years.
Which colors are the ones used in the archer? I see a couple of greens, so there is one I dont know which one is and an orange that is not described Thanks in advance
You want Speedpaint to collect in the recesses, but you don't want it to pool too much (unless that's the effect you're after). You can always soak up extra with a dry brush before the paint dries.
it would probably make a cool subtle effect but I would think you would need to use a lot of layers, a lighter color, or use the zenithal technique demonstrated
@@darrinhearn762 the issue with black is that it overwhelms the transparent paint, so would at best tint it. Other colours as the undercoat would work since from some experiments I've seen the undercoat is unaffected by speedpaints, so like a metallic would keep it's shine whilst being changed to be tinted by the speedpaint.
@@oliverp3545 Agreed - these would not be very useful on a black undercoat. I've seen some very intriguing experiments on metallic undercoat. I am very eager to give these a try!
Good paint but limited colors if you don't concentrate on fantasy or science fiction. Gray/Green color for Italians? German 1943 base yellow-green? The sand color appears closer to wet sand than dry sand and there are at least three sand shades. Speedpaint doesn't appear to be any of those. And we who base coat in black...?
You certainly wouldn't want to basecoat in black unless you plan to drybrush or airbrush a highlight first. It's just not intended to be painted over black. It's a completely new way of painting. And, yes, for now, the range is focused on our top selling colour categories as the majority of our customers come from the Sci-Fi, Fantasy and RPG world. However, we did add in a couple colours that are versatile enough, especially when used in combination with the Speedpaint Medium, for historical.
waited for something like this for yeaaaaaars!!! Speeding up, paint more, getting Things done! Bought the Mega Set...primed black, drybroushed with efford....slam paint...perfekt!!!! finnisched with light highlighting.....Perfekt....this fits my Style so perfekt!!! Time saved....50%
I was skeptical, but I want to try the starter set after watch the video. I bought a song of ice and fire, and the blue and reds will certainly make speed painting the basic units much easier. The Starter Set is coming out in February 2022?
Hi, I like the skin color of the owl in your short video but here crusader skin looks quite dark. Is there a lighter tone of it for the skin? Also, are you planning to sell them individually? Thanks

interesting product, results could be mixed, but with right application you could make some supremely good stuff, i'd want to see what orange looks like on white primer as i wanted to try some orange models.
Holy White is a light grey, but when painted over a white undercoat it gives you appropriate shading for a white colour, leaving the upper surfaces and edges white.
Are you guy going to or have you updated your formula for the standard line of warpaints... just curious as I have one of the the first Complete Mega paint sets many years old now.

Cannot wait. Looking good I'm hoping these will be excellent.
I agree that we should not argue about the best Space Marine chapter, while painting my own as Space Wolves.

Yeah, I'm going to need TAP to get these out to stores faster. ;)
How long to the release of these paints?
Love to see that Citadel Contrast is getting competition.
Competition is always good.
I just started using speedpaints since I have not painted before. Is it better to have your brush a bit damp before using the paint, fully wet or dry?
A bit damp would be best, if it's too wet you'll end up thinning the paints.
I hope there is a part 2 about undercoating, mixing and thinning so we can truly appreciate what these paints can do, personally I'll be getting the full set it's got so many colours that appeals to me.

One more tool to add to the bench. I don't see any one paint type or company being the best for everything, but all are best for something.
I have experience with Citadel's contrast paints only and I will certainly try AP's speed paints but I guess from the look here I will have the same issue with them as with contrast paints: The results are way to exaggareted in terms of saturation and brightness - at least for my taste.

I so cant wait to get hold of these, I have loads of D&D miniatures in need of painting =)
Fancy seeing you here
Only thing we are missing are the paints themselves.
Will somebody give us an example of SP on Napoleonics, SYW, AWI, ACW.............?
Nice to see that army painter isn't debating which chapter is the best they just know it's the space wolves.

Can't wait to see how this works on sw legions figures. Guess I can go and start building and priming them while I wait for speed paint to come out.
What does Army painter think of the slapchop technique (black prime) drybrush grey, speed paint)?
Are you going to sell the acrylic medium ? I would be interested to be able to modulate the pigment concentration.
Also, I would love to see even more advanced tricks, like wet blending, and gradients.

Thanks Adam…great vid, lots of tips. Just one thing though…”caughten”?
@The Army Painter can you please make some warhammer tutorials please as I play both and would love to see what you do with the ga models
You should try mixing speed paint with a metallic for a really cool effects
Try speed painting some dark angels deathwing terminators and some dark angels tactical marines
Reds and oranges compare well to contrast. Nice.
it is necessary to dilute like a classic paint or it is not necessary?
Stupid question I know 😅
Which colors are the ones used in the archer? I see a couple of greens, so there is one I dont know which one is and an orange that is not described
Thanks in advance
The Crusader Skin seems very dark. How to lighten it? Thanks
Could you guys do this with a large model like an Imperial Knight?
Donyounuse anwet or a dry palette with them? I thought they didn't like wet palettes
Release them from the reviews I've seen they're much better than GW contrasts.
You didn't mention the thinning medium. Please do a tutorial about it as well
Next tutorial, painting on gunpla or slightly bigger model kit
I wish you would have shown the finished minis after trying.
How do these work with your wet palette? I just pick one of those and love it
can you paint straight from the bottle or do you thin it first with water ?
Looks pretty good for noobs (no offence to anyone, we are all noobs at some point).
such a lost opportunity to not have these available for Xmas.
Fire giant orange looks great, very vibrant.
How do you fix paint reactivation ? It is a major issue for me
I was worried about that paint flowing into puddles like in 3:31 that camo green, but its supposed to look like that after the paint has been applied?
You want Speedpaint to collect in the recesses, but you don't want it to pool too much (unless that's the effect you're after). You can always soak up extra with a dry brush before the paint dries.

Why do they reactivate from.. well... anything.? Because sometimes you need to touch things up.
They don't if they've had adequate dry time. ;)
>one thick coat
Duncan wants to have a word with you.
My first set is being delivered today🎉
Love it. Can't wait to see it in person
But do u apply speedpaint directly or you mix with water or some medium before apply?
You can apply them directly, but you can also thin them (we recommend using the Speedpaint Medium) if you want a more subtle effect :)

That's correct. This is an older video and we've since changed our recommendation to not use a wet palette with Speedpaint.
