Have yall thought of making something like a vortex mixer. In the interest of reducing time needed shaking paints as they are so heavily pigmented when they separate it can cause someone to not use, or just hesitate to use, it rather than shake it to the point of making it viable again.

I have a vortex and the the Robart. I never use either of them, what I use is tamiya stirring sticks. I use a peice of tissue to pull out the nozzle and then stir them with the wide blade end of the stick, this works much better, faster and cheaper than any other solution I've ever tried.

Very excited for these! I've been using Citadel Contrast over a zenithal highlight (including the drying brushing stage/painting in highlights in white first), I tend to add further highlights after dependent on the project, can't wait to see how these compare. This kind of process is perfect for smaller scales, I've been using it on Warlord Games Epic Battles ranges, can't wait to get my hands on some of your blues for French Epic Napoleonic as the darker Citadel Contrast ones don't quite do what I want them to, and yours look very promising from the videos I've seen.

I could not recommend speedpaints enough for terrain and large batch painting, but with smaller minis (such as my tau) you either want to invest in more of their range beyond the starter set or go over with a acrylic, the drying time seems to be a bit high but overall they are really great

@toferkrz946 2 жыл бұрын

Be advised that it won't work as well as it did in the video, ESPECIALLY on flat surfaces. There is obviously some extra work done to the miniature that has been omitted in the edit. Pay attention to the shoulder pad - the paint gloops and pools horribly by the bottom edge but after the cut in the video, it's all dried perfectly smooth and even. These are just like Citadel Contrast Paint. A useful, but temperamental tool for some specific applications, not rainbow unicorn wonder juice that will magically and perfectly paint every miniature for you. It is very disappointing that AP is bent on advertising these as the latter for some reason, repeating Games Workshop's initial marketing mistake.

I have experience with Citadel's contrast paints only and I will certainly try AP's speed paints but I guess from the look here I will have the same issue with them as with contrast paints: The results are way to exaggareted in terms of saturation and brightness - at least for my taste. Maybe it is just the studio lights, but with contrasts I always had to add a dry brush with some muted tone of the model (grey or brown) to tone it down. This makes it again an at least 2-step-process all-in-all so not much of a decreased time and effort. But certainly another nice tool to utilize.

Having fun with Speedpaints for a while now. They certainly speed things up a bit, even if you are trying for higher quality. The Dark Wood makes an excellent black flesh tone, perfect for my Numidians, one touch and done! The Holy White makes convincing white clothing, but not so much for hair and fur. They work best over Strong Zenithal (not much black) and they don't cover over black at all, so some planning ahead is needed. They often benefit from some drybrushing of highlights after they dry. Importantly - they are fun to work with. Two thumbs up!
