Writing the actual colour on the bottle is such a huge step forward. It's such a simple improvement but so helpful.

Dab some of the colour on top of the bottle cap. Makes it much easier to spot them among the sea of white.

Love the naming on the bottles. It’s so sorely needed in the mini painting space. Artists have a common language they can use when it comes to paint names (cadmium red, burnt umber, phthalo blue etc.) while we’re stuck with daft fantasy/sci-fi names. I see so many new painters asking ‘what paints do I need to paint this model?’ The answer should be simple. Look at the model and select the colours you see ie. Dark red, light green, etc. ProAcyril has been pretty good with this, now with AP hopefully we’ll see more brands do similar.

@jaeledwards1367 5 ай бұрын

That's not entirely true about the naming conventions though. It is somewhat true when they are aimed at Fantasy/Sci-Fi painters, but if you look at the Vallejo Model Colour/Panzer Aces range, the MIG colours, even the old Tamiya range you get "Nato black-grey", "Japanese uniform", "RAF mid sea grey" etc straight out of the bottle because they are trying to replicate something from real life. The colour triads thing isnt new either - Reaper used to do it, foundry did too, and it's common in "modulation effect" airbrush paints for planes and tanks. Not throwing shade at all - even though I mostly paint things in shades of brown and green and I have no use for glowing nuclear vomit effects I'll be trying out lots of stuff from this range.

I could see myself maybe trying out some of the effects paints, the extra flavor crystals is an interesting concept. I also like that they have fresh and old versions of a lot of them (especially the blood and rust). It's nice to see AP really taking a big swing at upping their game. Will definitely be interesting to see what the wider reaction to these are once they're in the wild.

Danish Design, & Legos are known the world over, for amazing quality, production, & attention to detail. It seems The Army Painter is also committed to these Danish Ideals, not only rapid iteration of their products, but seem to engage and listen to the hobby community. Pretty awesome!

I'm a Vallejo guy, currently, as I still have lots of their paints left from when I built scale models. But I can see myself slowly replacing VMC colors with these ones here, or buying colours I don't have (yet). If they're as good or better than, say, AK 3rd Gen (of which I have but a few), and with better availability, it's a no-brainer! Certainly the effects and washes that you demonstrated here are worth it because they look excellent! Can't wait.

@theandf 5 ай бұрын

Why would you replace Vallejo? Their Game Color line I assume? Their Model Color line is unmatched for realistic colors, I don't think even these Army Painter new ones can match it. For fantasy, sure... I'm experimenting with speedpaints myself.

@@theandf I'm replacing Vallejo with Army Painter. Ive used Vallejo since I moved country & had to rebuy everything. Im not impressed at all. They are dull & very easily get over diluted on wet pallete. Im going back to Army Painter, their colours are brighter & so don't turn to grey with washes. Maybe everyone just has a preference, I found citadel pretty good but I hate the pots so much.

@revylokesh1783 5 ай бұрын

@@theandf I use Model Color, not Game Color, and yes, their range is excellent in terms of realism. But I find their color swatches (pdf, website) quite "off" a lot of the times, so finding the right color is very often hit and miss! AP's triad system seems quite promising in that regard.

@theandf 5 ай бұрын

@@revylokesh1783 thanks for the reply. I love Model Color but I agree about the swatches. Actually this is currently a problem for me with Speed Paints 2.0: I cannot get the hang of the colors. The paint looks different to the label on the pot. Some KZfaqrs like Dana Howl resort to painting the caps of the bottles as a reminder, but it seems wasteful, plus I'm lazy.

@Weaver_Games 5 ай бұрын

Availability is such a huge factor for me. Every store near me has AP stuff so if some single colors on the rack are missing I can hop around a few locations trying to track it down. Only two stores in like 100km of me carries pro-acryl on the other hand. I really like pro-acryl but it's not easy for me to get. Vallejo is more prevalent for me but their range is so utterly massive between their air lines, metal colour, game colour, model colour, FX paints, and primers that the odds of a store having all the racks and also have them have stock is low. Either way, I'm not a paint loyalist. I'll prime in pro-acryl, layer with vallejo, use a GW contrast for hair, wash with AP, and use AK for effects after.

@stochasticagency 5 ай бұрын

I love the fact they have a complete set like this, but at 700+ dollars its kind of ridiculous cost point all at one go. And that does not even include the Speed Paints that so many people would want in connection to the new Fanatic line. Also to be fair you're not buying these you are being granted access to this set for free, so consider that in your review. Ahh the benefits of being a influencer. ;) Yes the bottle labels are nice, also the 6 paints in their trifecta sets is pretty cool. They really thought about this new set and it shows... they may now be the top dog in the hobby. With this number of paints I will have to buy them in stages, I am not sure if they will have sets that allow me to buy them in steps without buying doubles or triples of some colors. This is a great review of the paints... like I said Army Painter may of just taken the top spot in the hobby with this and the Speed paints 2.0. From big cans of stain and dipping models to this great new Fantastic line. Well Deserved Army Painter, GOOD WORK!

@darkeldardf 5 ай бұрын

From the reviews I've seen on the new Warpaints: Fanatic line I am planning on ordering the complete set. One thing that has really stood out to me across all the reviews I've watched is the added value found within their flexible triad system. Where traditional triads are just three color tones having their color tones in groups of six is great for a number of reasons. First as many have pointed out within that six color tone grouping you'll actually be getting four triads. I also like the fact that all six tones can be used to make smooth gradients. Another thing that seems possible with this flexible triad system that I don't recall having been mentioned is there seems to be a lot of forgiveness for accidentally applying the wrong shade. For example say your using the number four blue as your mid tone but you accidentally grab and apply the number three blue where there doesn't appear to be huge shifts in tonality between tones adjacent to each other it seems that will allow some leeway especially for those who are new to miniature painting.

Of all the paints you mentioned the two I’m most jazzed for are Death Metal which (correct me if I’m wrong) looks like a metallic black. When I first started painting miniatures (back when George H.W. Bush was President) I always did my bolters with a metallic black which has been so hard to find since GW axed it from their original paint line. The other is oil slick as I used to use Typhus Corrosion all the time but it is nearly impossible to find now. So it’s nice to see an alternative in another main range.
