When John Blanche says 'best paints I've ever used for miniatures,' that there is a gentleman that's slung some paint at lead in his time - he might know a thing or two! 😂 Loving the expansions to the range; that Ironclad Grey in particular really slots in where it felt like something was missing. Looking forward to seeing this hit people's painting tables!
@@Bear_of_light26 Haha! Tell me about it. I've had to buy extra paint racks specifically for the Fanatic range... and now it's gonna be bigger?! Army Painter, c'mon, help a guy out! Release the AP Uber Paint Rack! XD
@@moiseman There's recent photos of him in a couple Facebook groups painting. Not sure who would have told you he simply doesn't any more, but that's incorrect.
did you have problems finding it??? the washes didn't change formula and tons of people still have flesh wash in stock.. Just FYI.... you don't even have to wait till january, you can still buy it now...
GW tried for a bit with Duncan Rhodes and Peachy, but after they left the company, GW has stopped showing off any of their employees at all. They don't even show the faces of the painters in the Warhammer TV painting videos any more. It's like they're trying to make it as corporate and sterile as possible.
They couldn't use his personality because Blanche is a nightmare to work with and refuses to do anything anyway buy his own even if its at the detriment to his own work and deadlines.
Fantastic way to handle the situation, love it and cannot wait to get my hands on these!!!! Army Painter riding into 2025 like a boss, they aren't here to take part, they're here to take over and taking over, they are indeed!!!!!!!
I don't think I have ever been more excited for Army Painter products. This looks really cool! Job well done on the video and what appears to be two really great paint sets.
Will be cool to see all the paints in the sets, but would love to see some additional paints in the metallic range. Like blue metallic, yellow, purple etc
- Next time; The project will be unhackable! Only a direct strike force could breach our new defenses! *Me saddling the combat-moose and preparing to charge across the ice from Sweden.*
I got back into the hobby a year ago and picked up army painter as a place to start. Ive been very happy with them and continue to expand my range with more army painter paints. Thank you for your work. ❤
thx for your amazing paints Army Painter i starte warhammer 40k , AOS, Old this year new , after 15 years , with you painting set from SpeedPaint 2.0 and Warpaints , damm i Painted my first Chaos Marine and he looks so god . and your videos Paintig tipps, Arena of Escalation and the tipps and tricks on your Website are just great for beginners
Personally i would love to see some new updated color primers like the old days, but with the modern quality of the fanatic paint range. Those paints are fire!
Man, new dark colors?! Now that is something to get behind, especially since those dark tones seemed a bit lacking upon release of the Fanatic line. Bravo!
AUGH! So glad yer $hit at keeping secrets because this one ROCKED! What a collab, you guys hit this one out of the frickin' park!!! P.S. When are you going to make me the 5th official member of the Army Painter team?? I could be "the average joe" hobby guy on the panel. Who can't relate to that?!? And my name is already Joe!
Cool collab! Would be great to learn more of the reasoning for the paint selection and how the paints link back to John Blanche's minipainting style (techniques, when/how he uses washes, etc.). Out of curiosity, can anyone explain to me why a darker grey gets people excited? If you are unable to mix black into a grey you most likely won't get happy with the John Blanche paint sets. If you get
I can say I did not hear a word before but this a pleasant surprise! I will definitely look into these sometime next year when I need a big boost to my paint collection.
That was a cool video! Really happy to see Flesh Wash back, personally thats my go to for skin and metals and nice to see another grey in the range! Any chance of expanding the range later on with a couple more triad systems - such as some military greens coming back like Crypt Wraith - Venom Wyrm - Commando Green & Some warmer Greys like Hardened Carapace - Dark Stone - Field Grey and a Dark Rich brown like GW's Rhinox Hide? ... Just asking for a friend :P
@@kebertxela7819 what critisisms were there? the ORIGINAL line had tons.. but the Fanatic Range? the largest complaint i've seen is the "True red is not red enough" complaint,, other than that.. I've got no idea.. I'm wondering if the OP meant the WARPAINTS range
I meant the Fanatic range. When the range first got released the couple dozen reviews generally had the same messages: huge step up from the original war paints. But a little lacking on high saturation / vibrancy and deep depth. Having a few paints from other ranges, I will have to agree - AP's Daemonic Yellow looks orange next to ProAcryl's Bismuth Yellow, and AK 3rd gen's Tenebrous Grey has more depth and matte than AP's Matt Black.
@@ZeehcTunococ I definitely agree with that complaint, many of the brighter colors are far too desaturated. The violet and deep green triads are probably the worst offenders. However I don't know that I would say this new set addresses that. It has some nice new deep tones, yes, but my hope is that they'll release some nice saturated lighter colors that don't look so pastel like the current ones do.
Thanks for the dark Grey, I have to buy one from another range because necromancer cloak was one of my favorite. I get the last flesh wash from my hobby shop fews weeks ago. So it's perfect ❤
Army Painter was the first Paint range i got when i started with my hobby and im still usin them now 3 years later. Your Paints are one of the best products when u want to start the hobby. But im not a fan of the Wet Pallet. U have to buy every time the Sponge set to get the parchment papers for the palett.
Hacked!! Aaaarrghhh! Big Jobbies to them. Army Painter are at the front of paint. Although if you get the big man Blanche to do some tutorials, well 2025 will be a year and a half.
I hope they will be, but not sure how they're going to restructure all the racks the stores already have. IMO I'd 100% rather have these paints in the range than not since they seem to plug some holes (lack of darker greys and darker reds are my primary criticisms of the range) - but I get that it's probably not as logistically easy as it seems.
Lol bought the entire range to have a complete paint range and now I got to buy more that being said they look good, though I'd wish they would've given us some actual bright vibrant reds though it looks like there is one in the new set so fingers crossed for one atleast
Why does John sound surpised. Doesn't it make sense that the best paint company makes the best paints? This reminds me, gotta put the speed paint medium on my chriatmas list.
it must have been the work of the infamous leaker Chapter Master Valrak!, oh those paint sets look nice, and with the models from his kickstarter coming, thats going to be nice!
This was friggin unhinged and I loved it.

Exactly how I felt on the ironclad grey too. Perfect edition. But now I need to rejigger my paint rack lol

the guy hasn't painted minis in years because of his condition lol

WOW. That was a really good advertisement. Just seeing John Blanche's name wanted me to buy the paint boxes now. 😉
Probably my favorite Danish company. Probably.
I see what you did there ❤🍺🍺
SKÅL !
Well if you step on most army painter products you might stain your floor but your foot will be uninjured.
The brick bunch could learn a thing or two about how you interact with and treat customers.
The energy in thud video was exactly what I needed today. Thank you guys!
Nice to see the flesh wash and a darker grey. Great job
I know it seems like a small thing but I've been hoping for a darker shade of Mulled Berry! Glad it's coming!
Some of the best commercials ever. Your marketing team is knocking it out of the park!
Damn good at making paints AND entertaining promos!
My precious,precious flesh wash is back.
That's nice. Now I can finish my Son's of Behemat army.
Yes,all seven of them.
did you have problems finding it??? the washes didn't change formula and tons of people still have flesh wash in stock.. Just FYI.... you don't even have to wait till january, you can still buy it now...
@slickschoppers I'm not from US bro.
It funny how GW had John Blanch for decades and couldn't use his personality for anything. They truly underutilize their talent.
GW tried for a bit with Duncan Rhodes and Peachy, but after they left the company, GW has stopped showing off any of their employees at all. They don't even show the faces of the painters in the Warhammer TV painting videos any more. It's like they're trying to make it as corporate and sterile as possible.
Fact.
@@wasmic5z they refused to pay them more...
@@wasmic5z it makes the vidoes seem so removed. No personality, just like the company. I don't buy their sh!t, I refuse to.
They couldn't use his personality because Blanche is a nightmare to work with and refuses to do anything anyway buy his own even if its at the detriment to his own work and deadlines.
Fantastic way to handle the situation, love it and cannot wait to get my hands on these!!!!
Army Painter riding into 2025 like a boss, they aren't here to take part, they're here to take over and taking over, they are indeed!!!!!!!
damn, good to see John working with you guys, looking forward to trying the "mostly new" paints.
OH a darker gray! ty John Blanche and AP i was missing that.
This is cool! I love the new fanatics and speed paint 2.0. More paints are always welcome!
I don't think I have ever been more excited for Army Painter products. This looks really cool! Job well done on the video and what appears to be two really great paint sets.
Will be cool to see all the paints in the sets, but would love to see some additional paints in the metallic range. Like blue metallic, yellow, purple etc
Aw you guys made me ink! (Very exciting news! Can't wait!)
I appreciate a company embracing the leak and using it to feed the hype. Love it

*Me saddling the combat-moose and preparing to charge across the ice from Sweden.*
very well done. army painter keeps getting better, give it some years for people to catch up but you will be the go to for paints across the hobby
The OPPOSITE of the leading competitor.
Bravo.
I will now buy your product.
I got back into the hobby a year ago and picked up army painter as a place to start. Ive been very happy with them and continue to expand my range with more army painter paints. Thank you for your work. ❤
Just in time for trench crusade

Looks exciting!
Some lovely dark tones and a nice vibrant red I can spot. Great additions to the Fanatic line. Looking forward to it, great work guys.
Great stuff! Big respect that he's on board with your paint line.
Love your paints guys. I can't wait to get My hands on these new sets. New at the painting but love the hobby.
Haha,great vid! looking forward to getting these sets
Masterfully done, can’t wait to get my hands on those boxes!
Brilliant and unexpected. Cheers!
And the next big announcement is color airbrush primers! Right? ....right?
Personally i would love to see some new updated color primers like the old days, but with the modern quality of the fanatic paint range. Those paints are fire!
Man, new dark colors?! Now that is something to get behind, especially since those dark tones seemed a bit lacking upon release of the Fanatic line. Bravo!
Ohhhh you've done well here @ArmyPainter!
Great video, and I'm super-hyped for the paints! 🔥🤘
That Blanche guy really seems to be hitting his stride as a painter.
lol. I agree. Definite potential. I think he has a future in the industry.
I already have pre-orders in for them. I am so excited.
Where???
AUGH! So glad yer $hit at keeping secrets because this one ROCKED! What a collab, you guys hit this one out of the frickin' park!!!

So I'll take the "like" as a YES to my Army Painter team application. See you in Denmark!
John Blanche is the best possible spokesperson you could have for miniature paints range.

This is wild, can't wait to give them a try!
Wow. Good on you for addressing all the criticisms within the fanatics range, while capitalizing on it. Looking forward to this release.
Which criticisms have they addressed?

Simply amazing!
Army painter taking over 2024 and setting to take over even the 2025
Old company, modern ad
Love it
Yay for bringing back Flesh Wash, it's my favorite wash and will soon be on my 3rd bottle of it.
You guys are awesome.
No more mixing up a grey between black and Deep Grey gets my vote. Every other color is a bonus!
Best ad I have seen in a while.
A danish company just took our swedish Zorn palette? Time to call on the people in dalarna
I'm absolutely pump'd! Love the colors. I'm hoping there is a dark metalic in there too! Something similar to citidel Iron Warrior?
OMFG NICE ! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I am running out of paints... Interesting timing... Are you.. ARE YOU SPYING ON ME???
Love it, amazing!!!
That was a thing of beauty.
Canne wait to get my grubby mitts on some Blanche Approved paint sets! ❤
Thanks for the dark Grey, I have to buy one from another range because necromancer cloak was one of my favorite.
I get the last flesh wash from my hobby shop fews weeks ago.
So it's perfect ❤
This is the best finger You can give to "other" company i've ever saw 😁 LOVE AND WANT IT!
Excellent idea, and presentstion
this is why I enjoy using army painter paints so much.
LIAR got me so good.
Ironclad Grey looks like a suitable replacement for Necromancer Cloak.
Fantastic! 😂
You guys are the best. I absolutely love your company and would buy Army Painter "painter's tissue" if you made it.
Im Happy John Blanche looks healthier, I remember the 2016/2017 White Dwarfs when he he looks pale and shattered...
Army Painter was the first Paint range i got when i started with my hobby and im still usin them now 3 years later. Your Paints are one of the best products when u want to start the hobby. But im not a fan of the Wet Pallet. U have to buy every time the Sponge set to get the parchment papers for the palett.
Great now i need to rearrange my paint wall to accommodate these now paints
Will we be able to get the paints as singles? I would like to be able to get the remake of the old Flesh Wash by itself.
Hell ya, exciting!!!🍻
What a fricken coup, I love it!
Iv only just bought 2 full AP fanatic sets damn it, but a John Blanche-AP team up sounds awesome, take my money !
Ironclad Grey was really a missing link from that triad. Well done!
Hacked!! Aaaarrghhh! Big Jobbies to them. Army Painter are at the front of paint. Although if you get the big man Blanche to do some tutorials, well 2025 will be a year and a half.
Cool production!
Well s#@t , there goes the Christmas money.
Hyped for this.
Damn good brushes too
that mutual evil laugh got me sold. I'm getting both lol.
The laugh got me!
Also, are these new paints be available in single option bottles?
I hope they will be, but not sure how they're going to restructure all the racks the stores already have. IMO I'd 100% rather have these paints in the range than not since they seem to plug some holes (lack of darker greys and darker reds are my primary criticisms of the range) - but I get that it's probably not as logistically easy as it seems.
This is awesome. I better make some space on my shelve then :)
Sounds like a nice accompaniment to the Mörderin miniatures based on JB's art :)
Lets friggin go!!
All your bases are belong to us.
Pumped my dude!
Not gonna lie, that new gray color... pretty exciting.
"We might be s*** at keeps secrets, but we're damn good at making paints." ❤
This. Is. Awesome.
Rad, I had stockpiled Flesh wash, down to my last 2, great timing.
I adore this
Lol bought the entire range to have a complete paint range and now I got to buy more that being said they look good, though I'd wish they would've given us some actual bright vibrant reds though it looks like there is one in the new set so fingers crossed for one atleast
This is so epic!
Cool 👍

The Danish is what actually sold me 😅
