This is the perfect review! I LOVE how you showed the old contrast paints next to the new ones. Super duper helpful thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Agree. Perfectly comparable and you get a great impression of the colours.
This is how ALL reviews should be.
brilliant video. The side by side comparisons are extremely helpful. I haven't fully embraced contrast paints yet so this gives me a better idea of which ones I might need.
Agreed! Especially liked the comparisons.
@@PeteTheWargamer great video, will you be comparing how it looks over the grey seer or wraithbone primers?

Most helpful comment, thanks for the effort
Thank you very much for doing this! I've used it to add chapters points to the video.
But how do they *TASTE?!*
Doing the Emperor's work!
This was really helpful. It makes the new contrast range make more sense to me. I see that it’s not just brighter colors but also better coverage. Thank you!
I'm impressed with the opaque contrasts, it might change the game for yellow and orange. Black Legion and Baal Red will be staples in all paint collections.
Good video Pete, well done.
some of these colours are phenomenally good! Amazing work for the comparisons, not all heroes wear capes
Haha, thank you.
Really good video showing off the new colors also agains the "old".
i like the colors but for most of these new paints, they don't do their "contrast" as originally intended, pretty much no shadows and highlights
Exactly. The yellows in particular apply completely flat. Although I guess you can't complain too much about an easier to paint yellow.
Baal Red, Magmadroth flame, and Bad Moon yellow look like interesting tools. They don´t provide the instant shading as other contrasts but have enough shading to let you imagine easily where you can apply further shadows and highlights, more than with a base paint. Probably an instant staple in any paint set for people who like to apply their own contrast.
wow those bases are the perfect thing to show off exactly how the paints look. Almost makes me say every GW store should have them for reference
A lot of FLGs do exactly this.
Great review. Thank you ! I just wish you would also make a photo of all of them (collage - one next to another or just 1 by 1) - It would serve as great help for a future when selecting the the colors for a project.
respectful request: updated raptors phobos 2021 kill team please and ty. want to see how you do the various new roles! love your stuff as always!
Seconded

Incredible. Would love to see more demos of you using the paints, like the last two minis you showed.
Never tried a contrast paint before, but those icy blues looks interesting. I've been trying to make some sort of frozen earth bases, and that might help.
Definitely, Pylar Glacier is easily my favourite. To the point where I want to actually want to start a frost themed army just to use it!
@Pete The Wargamer do you think it's a good contrast for painting Sylvaneth and Nighthaunts?
@@PeteTheWargamer Do it!
@@PeteTheWargamer where did you get the bases from? Were they purchased? Or printed?
I’m going to use the ice blue as the secondary color for my Eldar craftworld. And yellow spot color probably fist yellow.
It's crazy how often i use this video for reference and tips thanks so much for this
I feel that those new contrast paints are less "contrasty" than the old ones btw I'd love you to do the same with the new washes
they seem more like inks
Yeah, exactly... Many of them don't pool and darken in cracks and crevices, so I don't understand why they're called contrast paints...
@@xtraspecialj because they have the same medium and work similarly but less lightly i'm guessing
Thank you for this review. I can definitely see a bunch of new colours to add to my collection. A lot of the new greens look amazing. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent video review! Really helped to show wich ones that fits with existing colors and schemes. Great job!
This is a great review. Straightforward and showing us the new paints in comparison to the older ones. Thanks.
thank you for showing each new paint and ideas to paint my figurine. looking forward to buy some of them to test it out
Thanks for taking the time to do this and share with us.
Thanks for the review, allowed me to decide for which paints I will go ! Cheers
What an awesome review! All your effort is appreciated! Thank you, Pete!
This is a great review! Thank you. For this thorough look at the range. I would love a similar version for the new shades.
Thank you. This is a perfect comparison and the time stamps make it easy to reference.
This is the most well-done contrast paint breakdown on TH-cam. Is there any chance of an Army Painter Speedpaint 2.0 breakdown video like this?
Awesome review, appreciate the review of all the colours. Look forward to adding these into the arsenal and having a play myself
Have fun!
This was extremely helpful. Thank you.
This answered any questions I had - thank you, you beautiful man.
Perfect! I live this kind of work; so helpful... Thank you!
Great guide with clear comparisons to the older options
Perfect review, thank you pete! ❤
Fantastic review, especially the comparisons to the older contrast paints!
It would be interesting to see how they look over wraithbone or grey seer...
Saving this to my favourite videos, this is incredibly useful. Thanks man.
Extremely useful review! Excited to try that Kroxigar one on my Alpha Legion.
Such a helpful Video. I keep coming back to it every time I think about a purchase. Thank you a lot. =)
Of all the reviews I've watched from many of my normal subs, yours is the nest example of these new colours and gives me great hope for the range. Nice job. I realised that while I have been watching your videos a lot I hadn't subbed, so now I am!
Welcome aboard!
Fantastic review. Thank you for making this!
Best review and show of these new paints I've seen. Good job
Wish the Kroxigor came out sooner, it might have worked for my Alpha legion model, but I would need to see how it looks over a metal base.
I really like the black too.
I have been using Akhelian green for ages and it looks great. Alternatively, if you have it, Tamiya clear blue over a metallic base gives a great look.
@@tombrand236 lol my poor alphas have gone through some rough times with their color scheme... it started with that shade technique that needed 7 to 8 layers of shade... I had quite literally just finished all my terminators when contrast came out and I saw I could get a similar effect with one layer of contrast.
So long story short, my current army has a mishmash of models painted with regular paint, layered shade, contrast paints and color change paints all mixed together... mostly because they all look good, I can't decide what I like more and I figure the alpha legion is about confusion so if I am confused about the color scheme of my own army, my opponents must be dumbfounded. Lol
Hey! every model doesn’t need to be the same!
Some could be older more seasoned veterans or Space Marines that fell later on, variance can look really good honestly, it’s how my Drukhari worked out lol
Thanks for doing this leg work for us!
This is a brilliant review Pete 👏. The side by side comparison to existing CPs is excellent. Thanks for your time and efforts matey. Very much appreciated sir 👌🖌️👍😊
I really liked you comparing them side by side. Helped me alot
What an informative and relaxing review. Thank you.
Awesome demo, thanks for your hard work!
This was super helpful, m8. Thanks!
Very helpful video. Thanks for it. I really like the new contrast paints. The fill all the gaps and the bright ones are so incredible. I really want start painting a contrast army :)
Amazing synopsis, thank you Pete
You're welcome
Black legion and Celestium blue are going to be those kinds of paints i buy at least two or three bottles of, great video!
The new white primer tickles me in all the good ways. Finally i can use contrast comfortably!
Super useful approach! The choice of these bases was particularly good.
Probably the best reviwe on the new contrast paints! Thanks!
Great review, very comprehensive. I appreciate the extra work required but it would be fantastic to see these new colours over Greyseer or Dawnstone base coat as those would give us a reference to something we're more familiar with. It would also give an indication as to how the saturation is affected by a non-white base coat
Tried sigvald burgundy in store the other day and my gosh it’s gorgeous after a varnish
really thorough guide. saved me a lot of cash, i was going to buy a bunch of these but now i know which ones i need and which to avoid. earned my sub. cherrs
Great video! This is very helpful.
Thanks for the very detailed review!
Thank you for showcasing all of the new paints. I was waiting to see how Magmadroth Flame looked, as I plan to use it on the cloth parts of the Votann encounter suits, with the new grey shade over white on the armour panels. Looks exactly how what I want.
THANKS... 🖌🎨🖼 this is wonderful review and I found it to be very helpful!
That Ironjaws Yellow is beautiful
This is the type of vid everyone wanted. Subscribed.
this might be the most useful video ever created brother
Great review, perfect info!
Excellent informative vid - this is the definitive guide
Great information. Thank you.
This may be one of your most useful videos PtW. Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
Celestium blue, luxion purple, and baal red are working wonders for my Night Lords
Awesome video, thanks a lot!
This is really excellent Pete! I've had people asking me for comparisons and this absolutely perfect. Thank you for doing all the tedious work so I don't have to 😄.
Thanks very much Pete !
Great Video! Thank you!
cheers pete this is just what i needed!
I ended up moving Badmoons yellow and baal red. Being able to lay basecoats down so liquify with such coverage is a dream.
I play evil sunz so i needs lots of reds and yellows
Great video Pete 👍
Excellent video - I'd really like to see what they look like over metallic undercoats and/or through an airbrush
Excellent review!
Of the various 'got the early access' reviews, this is probably the most detailed I've seen in terms of "here's what this colour would work well for" and the comparison to the existing contrast range. Given the closeness of karandras and striking scorpion to warp lightning (also others, but really obvious in the greens), I suspect that part of the longer term plan will be to market groups of contrast paints as 'triads' (which Reaper has been doing for years and Army Painter started doing with their Air range)
Great video, I have been really underwhelmed by this new range but you have given me some ideas on how to use some of the colours that don't behave like typical contrast paints.
Really informative. Thank you
My pleasure!
Thank you as this was a fantastic review. Great work mate
Great video, Pete! Great review! Thanks 👍🏻
Very welcome!
Great review. Very excited for the reds, greens and the blues. Especially the the blues. I'm stocking up on Frostheart for sure. Thanks for the reviews Pete 🤘🐺
Side note the purples also look solid. Most of the range has me excited!
Awesome review with some good tips also !
I look forward to trying it out!!
Awesome video. Aeldari Emerald and Luxion Purple we're on my radar, but I think dread visage is as well now
great video and the less translucent colours look fantastic
very informative, thanks.
Man, really great breakdown and review of the new paints!
this is very helpful thank you
Really helpful video thanks! reckon you could do one of the colours over a silver/metallic base coat? The effects can be really good
Its fun to hear you say you dont like white primers. I used to only prime black, but when i tried white primer for Speed paints/Contrast paints. I painted on it normally with paint as i would with a black primer, just to try it out. and i LOVE white primer way more now that black. Sure its harder to cover everything since the white shrine through. But damn, colours POP on white compared to black.
Im really happy about the new purples. I remember getting a bottle of shyish and was taken back by how much burgundy there was to it. Leviathan is much more what I was hoping for.
Perfect video! You are a legend Pete! This is exactly what we need. I don't wanna buy all the new contrast paints but thanks to your video I have now spotted a few paints that would be absolutely perfect for some upcoming projects. Cheers!
Glad to help!
This was a very useful video. Thanks for makin' it👉👉
As someone who started doing very bright Iyanden, it looks like bad moon yellow is my new go-to basecoat, rather than approximately 58 layers of flash gitz
Magmadroth Flame, Iron Jawz Yellow, Bad Moon Yellow, Black Legion this are my favorits
Between this and JH review, we now know all we need to before the range drops. Fantastic!
Fantastic review! If you could show a couple over zenithal, that would be great!
Love this vid Pete! Will definitely be picking up some of these paints, I think the magenta one over a leadbelcher spray would create some really cool looking heresy 1k sons
I'm so impressed with the new yellows!
Definitely gonna be using Black Legion and Baal Red when I get around to painting up my Templars. I’m not very patient so being able to batch paint with these will be super nice.
I wasn’t going to buy any of these before I saw this video as i have most of the old ones but going to have to pick up a few of these now…thank you for the video review!
