Don't underestimate yourself, you're highly skilled in both departments, Brent! Maybe it's your Swedish genes though, it's "jantelagen" coming through! (Approx. the notion you shouldn't brag about yourself)

This is an untrue statement, but I appreciate it all the same :)

I'm calling them 'TTC Paints' from here on out lol

Appreciate both your takes, I sit somewhere in the middle of you both as a painter (preferred techniques, not skill! Far below you both on that score.) so it's always fun to see which way I pull :)

Can't wait for mine to come in!!

Darker skin shouldn't be an afterthought.

@@breadpilled2587 'we went for the ones we use the most'

@@stephenbaugh2041 literally an afterthought 😒 typical

@@breadpilled2587 I wasn't agreeing with you

@@breadpilled2587 id prefer if companies just dropped the convention of naming paints "flesh" or "skin" since none of them look like any type of skin at all without a lot of work and technique. It's just named that way for people without imaginations.

Or, juz' dip it

Lol i have to admit that gave me massive cringe also......

Pretty sure those are just for Gen pop to use and then they toss em lol

As soon as I saw the brush cup, I knew they were evil.

it's 100% accurate, too. The reps are great. The corp is evil.

Given the name, well…

but not their reps :D

same

It's a bit of a different context with traditional art supplies though right, as they're generally also going to tell you the pigment composition of the colour you're buying. Something like Khimera Colours might be a bit more sensible with this. But once you start going "pure (or few mixed) pigment" you also get into the whole "you need your recipes" territory...

I think with a lot of other companies (including these) have names that are similar to the GW names either the current or the older range, so your Sorcerers Cloak is Warlock Purple, Berzerker and Sanguine reds are Khorne and Mephiston etc

Proacryl doesn't suffer from the awful names department and is still a hobbyist paint. I feel like they set the standard for both price and quality.

@@TheLunysgwen After hearing the pricing too, $5 for 15 ml... Pro Acryl is

This isn't quite right since Copyright has literally nothing to do with names. You correctly mention trademarks early on, but then you keept mistakingly using the term copyright after that. If you want be informative you really shouldn't be conveying objectively incorrect details like that. It gices what you're saying zero credibility, since the whole "copyright has zero relevance to names" is IP 101. As for the rest, you are somewhat correct? But reading it makes me think you have very little to know actual knowledge of how trademarks work. Trademarks are all about preventing consumer confusion, so typically the more unique you can get naming something, the better off you are. The thing with trademarks though, especially with products to be sold rather than iconography, business names, etc. Is that it is very context friendly, as in you can have things with the same name doing similarish things, as long as you can say consumers wouldn't really be confused. In this case I think you're inserting assumptions into what is a relatively straightforward situation. GW didn't change the paint names because of a sudden need to change Ultramarine blue or something. But because they literally made new paints at that time. They had some similar colours, but the formulas did change enough to warrant new names for the new colors. Looking at the context of the name change it trademarking it to be more Warhammer specific might have been a small motivation for it, but not really a main one. Those kind of name changed happen all the time in the general paint industry.

That's really cool! I've seen a couple of them in person so far

Great to meet you too, Dan! Thanks for putting up with us, I hope you had fun in Lake Tahoe :-)

hehehe, we've been having fun!!! :-)

Your gamble is gonna pay off :-) The paints are fun, I hope you enjoy them! :-)

Great to meet you! Yeah it was fun to get an early peak at these. Enjoy your kickstarter bundle! :-)

I've been curious about these for months and months, I was pumped to finally see what they were like. Turns out, they're pretty good! And we all are gonna have more chances to buy them :-)

absolutely!! :-)

Nice! They're fun to use, I hope you enjoy them! :-)

Excellent! They're good, I hope you enjoy them :-)

Have fun with them! :-)

right on! :-)

we didn't do it! The asmodee people don't take care of their multi-pack brushes, blame them!!! :-)

Not to worry, it looked like a jar of $2.00 dumpers.

Yes, I suspect the washes will divide opinion a bit. I think I'm going to like them, and I just might get me a nice big bottle of Instar's Water+ to see what I can do with different mixes.

Indeed! There are dozens of us, dozens!!!! :-)

I'm pumped for the new colors too! :-)

It was pretty great :-)

blessings to you and your hair :-)

Heck yeah! Black seas :-)

Nice! One of these days you're going to get a fun package in the mail, I hope you enjoy it!! :-)

absolutely! :-) I'll pick up a triad or two as impulse buys.

right on! this is what WE were waiting for too! :-)

Glad it was useful, thanks for watchin! :-)

Your gamble/ investment will pay off! I really like these paints, I think you're gonna have fun with them :-) And then later on duncan will release some more colors!!!

Have you given AK 3rd gen a try yet? They've launched a line of their 3rd gen aimed at military stuff.

@@userpayone I haven't... AK "got cancelled" for very, VERY disturbing reasons last year, and I'm not in a hurry to feature their products on my channel... It's unfortunate, because I have heard that they're pretty good paints.

Long live duncan's paints! :-)

Nice! That was a great convention, we had a lot of fun. I didn't capture TOO many people in the video other than the folks I was aiming at, but I'm sure a few people are gonna have a little surprise if they watch this video ;-) I'm glad we finally got to test these paints! All of the kickstarter backers and the stores who ordered racks can rest easy, the paints are good :-)

Those are some of my favorite colors too :-)

oh for sure! :-)

😛🖌

Right on! If you get some good mixing paints you're all set. I'm waiting for more blues for sure :-)

Oh yeah, crossroad games is a great stop on the way to the lake :-)

absolutely! They have a good feel to them, definitely be on the lookout.

hey hey! Yeah we all had a ton of fun, I see why Brenden goes to GAMA so often!! :-)

Nice! Brenden, Duncan, and Rog are all worth supporting. It sounds like crossroads is going to have a pretty great selection of paints going forwards :-)

I try! :-)

I'd know that shirt anywhere! :-)

yep, yellow and orange required an extra layer compared to other colors, as expected. Still, the yellows and oranges were pretty dang good! I'd say nothing surprised me between the various colors, and they were all above average compared to other paint lines I've worked with.

@@GoobertownHobbies That's good to hear. No surprises means we already kind of know what to expect and that tried and true methods of painting will work as we expect them too. I might look into picking some of these up next time I'm able to. Great to get an honest opinion on them before release.

You're a good spouse :-) These are great paints, you're getting her set up right!

absolutely! I think the backers can feel good about their investment/ gamble. Have fun when they arrive! :-)

We really are. I love hangin out with this guy! :-)

Thanks! And of course, thanks for the sample models- they came in very handy :-)

nice! I was thinking of recommending people get the base and highlight and skip the midtone... but your way works too ;-)

@@GoobertownHobbies I knew I was going to just get 1/3 of them, so it was the more sensible choice for me, BUT, if I didn't already have so many other paints, the highlight colors would've been my choice for another 1/3 because I've always had a harder time going brighter...like my personality. ;-/ lol

heck yeah!!! That was really fun, we'll have to go back again next year :-)

they were like that when we got there! :-)

Yup! It was a bit of a gamble, but duncan's a good dude and I think your investment is gonna pay off. Have fun with them! :-)

@@GoobertownHobbies Thanks again to you and Casey for being such consistent positive and honest voices to the community! You guys really make it a better place for us all!

I'm gonna leave these paints with casey and ask him every week if the metallics are still holding up :-)

Hey Simon! The paints are pretty dang good, I think you're gonna like them :-) The washes CAN be thinned, but it's a bit harder to judge thinning washes vs thinning paint.

@@GoobertownHobbies That’s great to hear. I just need space for them now…

Absolutely, thanks for watching! :-)

It's a wonder no hobby paint line has done this, at least none I've heard of. Artist paints seem to have no problem using colour names as well as listing pigments & transparency.

Yeah, Asmodee has some big (?evil?) company vibes. I'm not aware of all the ins and outs, but it sounds like it's a real double-edged sword to work with them. I'm wishing all the best for dunc, rog, and the local stores! :-)

thanks! and nice, I hope you have a great visit hehehehe :-)

@@GoobertownHobbies I don't actually know when I'll be up there, July maybe?
