We don’t pay for reviews. We DID hire three channels as consultants for their feedback in the development of the new colours and range but we’ve been extremely forthcoming about that. In their contract we specifically state that we were not hiring them to make content, we hired them as representatives of our great community :)

Honestly if you haven't already I'd highly recommend base coating in pink to paint orange. It gives one of the best, vibrant oranges I've seen in a long time. Plus, you usually don't need to do the extra layers of orange with it.

Awesome video Guy, it's really appreciated, and I enjoyed watching it. I know that AP has said that with the new 2.0 formula, that if you let the paints dry for about 2 hours (variable depending on weather) they shouldn't re-activate at all any more. That being said, I obviously haven't had the chance to try them out myself yet, so watching this, and seeing them being used 'in the wild' so to speak is really helpful.

@TheArmyPainter Жыл бұрын

I don’t think Guy waited the recommended 2 hours 😂 but you can see how easy it was to apply a coat of white overtop. After two coats of white and Speedpaint should be covered for good.

If I were doing a force like this, I'd be tempted to do variant colors on a few of the armor panels and lasguns. I like the idea that their equipment tends to be picked up and re-used from battlefield casualties, so gear of different shades would end up cobbled together. I'm imagining orange-suited prisoners being herded directly from the prison ship, to the heaps of salvaged equipment, to the battlefield.

I recently started using some of these paints, and I've found that if you do a clean base coat of the individual colours you want then apply the relevant speed paint over the top you can actually get some nice effects. For instance I painted my vampire/zombie dragon things wings red then highlighted, t hen used speed paint red over the top and it really popped.gave loads of depth and amped up up vibrancy of the colours. Hope this was useful. And by the way, love your stuff.
