I've been painting miniatures for over 35 years and I learned long ago that craft paints can do anything the "miniature" paints can do for a fraction of the cost. Americana is my brand of choice and they do 95% of my heavy lifting. I even push it through an airbrush without issues. I will never understand how people lock themselves into the specialty paint ecosystem. Thank you for giving craft paints a fair shake.

@@seleneyue counterpoint: if you're new to painting and on a budget, mixing new colors is a lot harder than getting cheap paint to perform on the palette, and you can get virtually anything in the pantone index for a dollar a bottle at any craft store. You can also get some shades in craft paint that aren't commonly made by any of the hobbyist brands and aren't easily mixed to. Learning to work with different materials is a big part of the art side of the hobby, I'd like to see a lot more craft paint content online tbh

Honestly this seems like a great way to get people into the hobby at a low cost barrier. That way they're not spending tons of money when they go to GW, and they can just play with the paint. Plus a lot of people aren't going to be doing those advanced techniques until later, so once they've sussed out how to do them they can always go to better paints.

Fantastic video! I get a kick out of the "If it ain't paint specifically for miniatures, it'll never work" mindset. I also get a kick out of proving them dead wrong. I got into modeling by making terrain, and I've used Delta Ceramcoat, Apple Barrel, and Folk Art craft paints for years. At 50 cents for 2 oz. at Wal Mart, Apple Barrel is darn affordable. Some things I have learned over the years: 1. If it's a color you're going to use a ton of (like the Territorial Beige I use for basecoating my terrain, I take my bottle right over to the paint department and have them color match a pint of acrylic house paint. 2. Yes, Apple Barrel makes larger bottles of the same colors. Avoid these. Costwise, you can buy 5 2 oz bottles for the cost of a large 4 oz bottle. Numbers are hard for me, but even I can tell where the best value is there. 3. Arcrylic metallics aren't that great, from my experience. 4. Craft paint colors seem to dry chalky (it might just be the brands I use), but once you coat them with varnish or your sealer of choice, it tends to come back. 5. For a cloth texture, paint a slightly thicker layer on, with unthinned paint. When it's partially dry, draw your brush straight through it. You want to leave lines in it. When it's dry, repeat the process, perpendicular to the original lines. Keep at it until you get a crosshatched sort of texture. Thanks for the great video. One of these days I'll get brave enough to try oils. Or even win the lottery and afford some Citadel.

I live in the middle east, we don't have the miniature painting hobby here at all. Art supplies stores don't even know what miniatures paint is. So I use basic acrylic paint that comes in big bottles with basic colours and my miniatures always turn out great. I'm only 6 months into the hobby and I'm loving it. I tried to order a miniature paint set from Amazon but they were very expensive and it'll take 3 weeks to get here. So instead i decided to keep on using basic acrylic paint (Craft paint). If you know the basics of colour mixing and thinning you don't even need to use miniatures paint!! Actually basic acrylic can give you way more colours variety than mintiture paint if you know how to mix it.

Oh, I was tried to deliver same thoughts about craft paints for years in our hobby-group club: - Those paints are not actually that bad: you can start use them as alternative for blacks, dark browns first, try out them on terrain or bases. - I've even purchased set similar to that one from video, and started to evangelize to use it by everyone on one of our local "terrain painting parties" in wargaming club. I was literally running across area like a mad man and convincing everyone: "LOOK HERE BOY, this is cheap and inexpensive acrylic paint that aint that bad - it is mixing well with other cokors, coverage is niiice, and adgesion with plastic and primer is good too!!!1"

I have been using craft paints like theese for some time (from Solo Goya, they have both very matt and very glossy paints). I find all of the things you said about Testers to be true for them as well. Craft Paints like these are way better than their reputation (except for white and ivory colors, those are chalky AF) Coverage is worse than with miniature paints, but not the main problem. As you, I've found that vibrancy is usually more of a problem. Oh and creating texture, it is SO damn hard not to create texture with these paints. You either thin them too much, and there is no coverage left, or more often, not enough, and you create texture. It's really tricky

Nice paint set. I wonder how it airbrushes. I'll keep an eye out to see if I can catch this at a good price.

some are good, some aren't. I've got a big bottle of black craft paint I use when doing base rims.

I love the color palette for this model. It looks amazing. Especially since it was done with craft paints. So cool.

My first properly painted miniature was actually done using majority craft paints, a Tyranid Swarmlord done in a variety of blues and greens. To this day I still have not found a better medium for blending smooth transitions on fabric, and despite years of experience since painting that first model, my 80% craft paint Master of Possession still has the best cloak out of all my CSM.

As always, perfect mix of educational, funny and entertaining. I watch a lot of mini and terrain videos, but you're one of the few that I actually listen to the notifications and watch as soon as I see it. Furthermore, some of the other channels have been doing the hobby paint versus craft paint thing. And I was wondering if a painter that I think is REALLY good would agree with their assessment. Turns out, the "craft paint isn't as bad as we thought" is pretty much the consensus.

I have tried many brands of craft paint over the years, with different levels of success. Thanks for the video mate. Also I have 2 pair of big fruit bats living in my gumtree :)

I myself paint with Amsterdam all acrylics "craft paint", the tube is 120 ml and costs about 6,99$. I wouldn't change it for anything else right now, especially because of the low cost.

Seems like their medium recipe is the key here differentiating them from generic craft paints. I wonder what the additives are?
