That came out MUCH better than I expected! I'm a big fan of the speedpaints over metallic bases too. Nice work and please keep finishing with the outtakes! 🤣

That green looks incredible, I definitely need to buy some to test it out.

Love it! The Speed Paints are a very good tool in the arsenal. I did an army of Stormcast primed in Army Painter Plate Mail and then the colors were a 50/50 mix of Absolution Green and Magic Blue to make a deep teal color

Great video. The thing on is chest is an Aquila. For Salamander pouches, black, for other Space Marines, mainly brown. I really love the metallic and speedpaint on the gun. For the base, always lava bases for Salamanders, goes with the lore.

Thanks for the blast from the past with the reference of "turning itself on" at minute 3:30. Robert Palmer - I Didn't Mean To Turn You On

If you can't pick between regular marines might I suggest speedpainting an Adeptus Custodes or a Gray Knight over metallic priming? I love their look (especially GK's blue-ish silver) and I think it would make for a very interesting video!

I just bought the whole paint set as a first paint set that wasn't GW and I'm doing Salamanders and had no clue which colours to use thanks a ton man, looked amazing at the end

This was super helpful! I've been trying out speed paints on my own Salamanders and it wasn't quite turning out the way I wanted and I guess I wasn't using enough of the speedpaint.

Orc Green is one of my favorites out of the whole set. Cant see the problem with it. My top 5 would be Orc Green Magic Blue, Blood Red, Sand Golem and Dark Wood.

My sets coming in july 9 cant wait your vids have sold me on them.

speed paints awesome

Looks great! Well done mate 👍

Please do Raven Guard with speed paints please!!!!! They are painted black but...not black...lol. BTW, love your channel for years!

Looks like a good color for Sons of Medusa.

Awesome, well done! Just started using my own speedpaints thanks to your channel. Quick question though; I've tried priming with matt white and wasn't super convinced. I might go your route with the wraithbone but I was also wondering what you think about a black primer with white drybrush on top as the undercoat? Would love to see a couple of the same mini's with different priming methods all painted next to each other.

"Super easy barely an inconvenience" *gasp* "That's from the other thing"

Regarding reactivation, I heard that speedpaint on top of speedpaint is fine as long as you are a bit gentle with the brush. Other normal paintbrands like Vallejo is supposed to work if you first mix a bit of speedpaint into them before you apply them on top of a speedpaint. Actually makes sense but got no speedpaints to try it out with. If this holds true, my guess is that you could thin your paint primarily with speedpaint and probably move on to regular mediums instead of water when you don't want more speedpaint properties. The aquilla could be any color and some chapters just have preferences but you should be able to get glorious results if you girst apply a highlight color with regular acrylics and then a darker, speedpaint on top of it. Maybe use that reactivation to your advantage and do some wet drybrushing on the top before you varnish the results :) Contrast and speedpaint is so similar but also so very different, tools in a toolbox

i'm quite the beginner, only done some 10 models over 5-6 months, and i find that the reactivation feature is really neat. when i eventually mess up, because i most certainly will, i can just get a wet brush and remove the speed paint without worrying about the rest of the paint job. i usually only use speed paints for faces, "annoying bits" and zombicide hero models that have too many tiny details making it impossible to paint traditionally, and being able to easily fix any error is really great. i also tend to use a light grey, Vallejo stonewall grey, mixed with some ice yellow (AK interactive) on the minis before i apply speed paint, i find that it gives a slightly darker yet warmer tone to the speed painted minis compared to flat white or slightly off white.

Thank you for the video. So even after it has dried the speedpaint can be reactivated again by a wet color being painted over the dry layer?

I know you love doing gold using silver and a layer of yellow speedpaint over. You have GOT TO TRY spray a model metallic GOLD and put Magic Blue or Highlord Blue over it. It makes a Metallic turquoise green like I have never seen before.

Loving the Speed Paint videos you've done. I've just got back into 40k after a 20yr absence, it's changed a lot, not just the game but the painting aspect also. Any chance you'd be able to paint a Marine up as a Crimson Fist? I think Cloudburst Blue looks the most likely speed paint to use? Thanks!

Just spray it army painter Green and your done. Rattle cans are the speed paint.

Hey, love the channel! Started painting only a month ago and only did about 10 miniatures. I was advise to go for speedpainting and I really love it. It's never really mentioned, but how long do you usually wait between two colors? I'm sure it depend on the color and how much paint you put but I want to have a raw idea. Thank you!

Do the imperial fists next pls

Decals have an expired date? Well, I have many sheets of decals from 2nd edition and they are still prime! Did an Ultramarine Primaris (grim dark AF) last week and both shoulder insignia transferred just fine with water. 😎

opinion 2: better to provide something that's too green than not green enough. blending that with a blue, yellow, or brown would probably get some rich effects

Pouches always brown or grey from the speed paints. you can even mix them a bit. I paint a whole Army of Salamanders with Speedpaints and the black on the pauldrons is a bit of my issue. i hope the new citadel contrast black might be a bit better. other than that speedpaints all the way

Ork Skin works much better over a zenithal prime topped off with some semigloss varnish to help it flow

I know this video is over a year old now, but please use marker sol and marker set on your decals then clear coat the mini. It "melts" the "clear" part of the decal and the varnish leaves it looking flat.

How did you speed paint the head and dodge the eyes wtf

those mold lines tho

Green looks a little splotchy to me in the finished part at the end. Maybe that is just me though.

i might just be a different sort of painter but i can't see myself disliking any paint based on its color alone. like we have effect paints for vomit and i'm still like "mm good hue and finish"

Seeing this video and comparing it to Mediocre Hobbies Horus Heresy Legion Quick painting Playlist (he is mostly using Contrast paints), I have to admit I'm shocked in how much better contrast paints appear than those speed paints. I've seen multiple Speed Paint videos and was always skeptical, but now with that kind of comparison and remembering what Dana Howl did... I have to say, never Army Painter paints and never those Speed Paints.

That green looks awful to me. Reminds me of the color of plastic toys from 50 years ago.

The worst speedpaint ever is ORK FLESH contrast from citadel, Army Painter's Orc Skin is gold in comparison and that's all I have to say 😭😭😭😭
