Everyone misses the “probably” bit. We “probably” made the best paints in the world. If you dig into our release content you can understand why we say that and how we measured that in the development. Thanks for the review of the new range. We hope that hobbyists get to try them and love them as much as we do. ❤

Not sure if you watched any of the promo videos before launch where Army Painter got pro painters to try out the Fanatic line. In the videos, the painters praised how much better they are and just repeatedly trashing how bad their old paints were, and Army Painter just sat there taking it. They know how bad their old paints were. I give Army Painter props for leaving in the trashing of their old paints. I think the biggest pro of this is that Army Painter is one of the most available paint lines out there and also often the lowest cost. This means a lot of new people to the hobby buy them. With the old paints, it probably turned a lot of people off the painting hobby because of how bad the paint jobs would come out and how hard to use they were. Having this new line is important to for that reason.

Hey Zumi, I just purchased an Army Painter mega set. I used to just buy my paints by color as needed, but I was recently in a motorcycle accident and shattered my leg, so I’m not very mobile right now. I needed a good set that wasn’t too many paints, but still had a good span of colors, which is why I went with this set. I was concerned though, about previous AP reviews. Even though you didn’t think AP is the ‘best in the world’, your review at least gave me confidence that I made a good purchase. Thank you! 🙂

@MrCrystalwarrior1 6 месяцев назад

Have to agree, the old Army painter paints were awful, to say the least. I received my new complete Fanatic Paint set this week, and so far, after trying a few of the paints, I'm enjoying using them, and the slight satin finish to some paints actually helps me see any mistakes I've made, as I'm partially sighted, so the slight sheen helps me see where the primer or layer paints are showing through. I make my own washes/glazes, so haven't used the shades in the set yet. However, the inclusion of new brushes with set has had me jumping for joy, as they include a detail brush, a larger layering brush, and a dry-brush too. I'd never used the "Toblerone" handle style brushes before, after over 50 years of using just round handled brushes, and they are remarkably comfortable to hold/use, and so I may just make the leap and invest in a full set of these brushes now, as my painting hand doesn't ache as much after a heavy session after using this type 🙂 By the way, absolutely LOVE your sweater 😉 Where did you get it from, as I SO want one for myself now 😊

@maxschmidt666 6 месяцев назад

My only problem with their new sets is that you don't have an entry level set with just 15-20 colors including metallics and washes. Instead you have to buy the monster set with 50 colours for 150+ bucks. EDIT: False information. They do have a starter set. Its just not on Amazon yet.

@nicholassinnett2958 6 месяцев назад

The cross-triad thing seemed a bit left-field, but I don't see how anything he said isn't fair? Mirrors some of the comments some of other reviewers have mentioned to me. Things like the paints being pastel from added white/grey/whatever, that's something Juan Hidalgo pointed out as well. If you're not prepared for reviews of things you like to have negatives, maybe don't watch reviews.

@Abedeuss 6 месяцев назад

When you make claim that you're selling "the best product", you shouldn't complain about being held to high standard.

@jorgemontero6384 6 месяцев назад

Very similar to Juan Hidalgo's arguments, and probably correct. Note that yes, Vallejo and AK are super cheap and available in Spain, but in the US.... they aren't. My local store sells AK for $5 a bottle. We also get them with major delays: The Vallejo XpressPaint 2.0 arrived to US stores this week, while Spain had them in November.Even when the stores theoretically carries them, the most popular colors disappear quickly, and aren't restocked fast. In comparison, I can get Army Painter products in basically as many stores as I can get Citadel, and often deeply discounted. That crazy complete set of 216 paints is 645 dollars down the street: I am not buying such a monstrosity, but it's two dollars cheaper per bottle than AK. So as far as hobby equipment goes, pricing and availability varies so much, every visit to Spain includes a bag full of paint and brushes.

@user-mc4sq3fk5d 2 месяца назад

New to the hobby (although I will be a historical vice fantasy/sci-f war gamer). I have been looking all over for paint comparisons but of course 95% of such content is fantasy focused. However, reviews of paint regardless of miniature is very helpful. I ran across your video and found something you said interesting. Folks from the UK and into Warhammer would naturally gravitate towards Citadel. The bit you mentioned about Warlord was a light bulb moment. In that historical space they chose Army Painter. So my question is if you were in my shoes as a newcomer who will focus mostly on 18-19 th century historical miniature painting, who would you go with. I am from the U.S. so no bias or history with any company at all. It seems on the surface that Vallejo model color is well suited to historical but then again I like the base/layer/highlight ease with Citadel.. again as a beginner. I very much welcome suggestions. Thanks!!

Hope these make AP more available in stores. I have tended to use them over Vallejo and citadel, mainly due to price as my core colours, I like citadels technical paints, and really the only Vallejo product I buy is the plastic putty it's my favourite gap filler for minor gaps. But for paints unless I need a very specific shade like a military uniform, AP I feel once mixed up properly did the same job cheaper. I also like APs brushes for price to performance. Another brand that does well is SMS their acrylics are great too.

Solid, fair review. Their lighter tones are good enough, but anything darker than a supposed "midtone" is far to desaturated. The Reds are either too orange or too pink. The darkest red in Warm Red triad is actually orange, and its quite annoying. EDIT: At the end of the day, I only kept 3 or 4 colors, the rest I'm getting rid of/selling off since they're barely used. Colors are way to pastel for my tastes, and I don't see myself going back to them, in comparison to Vallejo's updated model color line, Pro Acryl or Scale 75(sue me I love their paints). Even their new XL wet palette is "lacking." I think I'm done with Army Painter to be honest, too many misses for my tastes.

@perkulant4629 6 месяцев назад

All of the colours are slightly desaturated which I'm not a fan of. Good for base coating i guess.

@theo._.5593 6 месяцев назад

I've heard that from some opinions from what I've tested and painted so far you can get a good saturation after testing most of them, some dry with a punchy saturation kick after they dry I was surprised with some reds being whitish when applied but becoming really RED when dried so idk maybe it's more of the medium they use rather than white pigments ?

@howardcoates6985 6 месяцев назад

@neileddy6159 6 месяцев назад

So a thought, this brings their paints in line with more modern lines, in my opinion they are better than GWs line. They have a vert wide selection of paints to build from. Most likely this will compliment your favorites not replace them. As far as price goes they are still cheaper than GW and scale 75 and whatnot, especially when nearly everything is is going to be thinned at least 1:1 paint and water and the bottles are bigger. Then it is hard to beat amazon availability, which none of the other ranges seem to do. One of the negatives is their really bright colors tend to break down more when thinning to glaze like levels and so you have to use their mediums instead of water and they are missing some depth of color choices in their very wide range. Overall though they are a solid paint line that should definitely supplement your existing paints and should not be avoided like the old line. Good video, though i think you are more critical than I in regards to the line.

As someone with more money than sense, I picked up the complete speed paint 2.0 range. I realized pretty quickly what it wasn't good at and picked up the entire fanatic range. I'm a beginner. None of them were frustrating to use. I think what they do best is accessibility. The boxes come with instructions. The labeling makes sense. I never was frustrated or lost. For an ultra skilled RU-vidr, maybe they aren't the best. For somebody who has no idea what they are doing, I feel like AP has done a good job of providing quality paints and made them approachable.

Vallejo NEW game colors are still cheaper (online retailers) and better. A huge upside is the new Clear plastic bottles they come in as well. You can see the paint colors, what a concept! AP paints are clearly more accessible so I can see them getting more sales in America. Either way it's good for the hobby when more paints are available and we're having these brand discussions.

at 2:34... you have 3 "Cool Reds" paints...and add a "pinks" paint? but...why? they are not from the same line... there are 6 points in "cool reds" line, so, might be a better idea to use them.

I don't know what it is with black paint, but it seems that unless you apply a very thin, almost watery, final layer it won't look matte, regardless of brand. As for the 'best paint' part, there is no best range, it all depends on what you're doing. Best for the average painter? That might seem plausible. For youtubers and artists who have refined their techniques and want select properties from each of their colors? Less plausible. There are in my opinion best pots or bottles of paint out there. Citadel's Retributor Armor is practically renowned at this point.

Just bought a bunch of Vallejo. I always want to try out new products, but paints are too expensive! 😭

There's nothing wrong with the OG army painter set as long as you have a vortex mixer or similar. The OG ones have a lot of medium in the tops and if there not mixed well then yes they don't perform.

From all the reviews and podcast I have listened to I get the impression that this is an update to compete with the new generation of hobby paint, not to surpass them. I'll try out a couple paints but it won't replace my collection of mostly Vallejo. All the buzz lately is mostly because Army Painter is readily available and apparently has good marketing. Meanwhile the new Vallejo Model Color range is about to drop in two weeks and I have yet to see anyone talk about it outside of the people involved.

I was irritated when I bought their matt black and found it more satin than ether Vallejo gc or mc black. Only AP thing I will buy is their washes.

To be honest - it is becoming ridiculous and stupid. "We have a new better paint!", "No, we have an even better paint!", "But our dipping inks are bettah!". Fuck it, I don't have an infinite bank account, so I am stickiing with Vallejo. Never put me down 20 years ago and today I find them overall the best paints I use and enjoy. Yeah, and I like Xpress color WAY more than Army Painter Speedpaints 2.0. And I am leaving GW out of discussion, bever buying ANYTHING related to GW =)

I have such a hard time articulating what the exact style of lighting/shading is - bright, kind of like a Spanish thing? I really need some help to get to that

Have you already tried the new Vallejo model color?

@gunthersunshine9418 6 месяцев назад

The speed paints from armypainter are realy the best, but for normal paints i also stick to valejo. Im glad my hobby shop has a huge shelve of them and i dont have to order it :3

I'm not a big fan of the "effects" paints, would have loved for them to not be included in the set. I'd have loved to have the warm reds in the mega set. I think a "build your own mega-set" option would have been really nice.

@ARescueToaster 6 месяцев назад

Man, I'm entirely behind that idea of building your own set. Would probably be hell on their packaging department, but I bet a lot of people would pay more (but less than if they got them individually of course) for that sort of thing. Might even be worth sending them an email about

IDK if this was intentional but I got an Ad directly following "is called rimming" which made me laugh

I never had a worst time with army painters reds… like Christ on a cracker….. I love painting red and this stuff just never mixed well or covered. I hope this stuff is better
