Good effort. I’ll pin this post as I think it can help everyone. Thanks for that

Totally agree. I’ll see what I can do! :)

did you prime the caps? 🤔

I didn’t prime the caps! Would be better if they were IMHO but good enough with way less effort!

@@nrgsch0tti347 I primed the ones I used. Stuck em on some tape, quick airbrush or rattle can, quick white dry brush (or air brush zenithal I guess). I wanted to get as close as I could to simulating how they’d go on a mini. Especially because I have multiple brands and some them work vastly differently

wait until they fck up your first 24 hour paintjob with crackling ;) much teh fun.

Oh that’s great to hear! It’s hard to complete imagine when I’m not colour blind so don’t want to put words in your mouths but even when I can see colour these words will help a lot! Hope you get on well with this range!

So glad it helped so much! Happy painting

You're very welcome, hope you enjoy your set!

That’s great to hear! You’ll be pleased to know Thunderbird blue was one of the colours we (Mike) created! He’ll love knowing you’re a fan!

You're very welcome. Speedpaints have changed how I paint for life too. I already enjoyed this hobby, but I'm at a new level now! Whizzing through paint jobs and enjoying my awesome looking games more!

I can appreciate that! There’s a lot and it’s expensive! Will be great when singles are out and every one can get what they need/want :)

Not long to wait!

Glad we could help! Hope you enjoy it and happy speed painting!

Thanks Darcy! There’s a looootttt of colour choices now! :)

Oooh awesome, hope you enjoy the full set as much as I am!

Glad we could help!

I thought the same! But 20 definitely left gaps. Some are pretty close in the 90 set but all unique enough. If you’re painting games where you have loads of minis with subtle variations between them E.g Zombicide or lots of skin tones this is a life saver

The original 1.0 set was missing some colors and if you didn’t mix. You ended up having a lot of minis that used the same colors. You lose variety when painting a lot of minis.

Thanks for the kind words. Lovely to get nice comments like this when you put a lot of time into a video :-)

Ooooh. You’re welcome. Which are you going to pick up?

@@WatchItPaintIt Familiar Pink for sure, gonna repaint my Necromunda Escher gang colors with it. I'll also grab Satchel Brown for more bag/belt variety, maybe the skin colors too.

As accurately as we could :D but you and me both buddy! :-D

Thank you! Hope you enjoy the full set as much as I am

Ooh, it’s always the greens I’m least impressed with but I realise it’s just subjective and it’s not a colour I like very much :D not for your legitimate reasons! Haha, thank you, it was a very tiring evening :D worth it though I think!

Thanks for this invaluable feedback Greg! Much appreciate the time to write that and give us your personal take on all this. Happy painting

Thank you!

Oh boy! I’ll see if I can think of a nice way to try all 90 over silver. The thought of shaking them all again gives me PTSD

@@WatchItPaintIt Hahahah! It's very easy to make a comment like that without considering the work needed from the content creator's side. No need to go that crazy with it if the result seems somewhat consistent, just so there is a general consensus on how it looks. Currently Vallejo's Xpress paints have such a matte finish that they don't provide any effect at all over metallics, while GW's contrast paints have very mixed results. Speedpaint 1.0 had the best finish over metallics by FAR, and their results were very consistent as far as I've seen.

I'd be interested of seeing the speedpaint metallics over a metallic base coat :)

They are cool aren’t they! Painting the cap gets the job done and it’s enough to see what colours what but these toppers really make your paints look really nice and beautiful. If you want them to look really swish you can paint the rim too, but I haven’t had the energy yet :D

Ooooh fair play to pro acrylic, think that’s a great move. Never used there paints but I think it’s a great idea. Thanks for letting me know

How many contrast colours are there? Might break the bank buying that many tops :-D

Appreciate it!

Aww thanks man, you didn’t have to! Glad to chat. But I’ll buy myself a pint in a minute :)

It’s also a ridiculously nice colour too. I’ve used it multiple times already. Rather unique and a fantastic inclusion. Love that we played our part in having the name changed to something better!

@@WatchItPaintIt All we need to do is replace Crusader skin as well with another name

Practical naming labels is great, but yeah I don’t even have to look at the bottle anymore :D mine are all stored in a drawer too, so these are priceless

Thanks for the visit

Super consistent! There’s a few colours that are slightly thinner and you have to learn them, e.g. Plasmatic Bolt, Paccid Bone and Boney Matter, but they are consistent amongst themselves too! Just you have to know they are thinner. But yeah, very impressed with the range

You’re welcome!

I agree! I’ll start badger @The Army Painter to see if it’s something they could make as replacement caps!

@@WatchItPaintIt oooo or just having caps pre-primed?

Oooh I’ve not used Xpress, how do you find them?

Thank you so much!

Not long to wait now!

@@WatchItPaintIt someday I want cool caps like that I can paint with the colours but that is an eventually thing.

Thank you!

You’re very welcome!

Let us know how you find the new white and pink. They were two of the colours we created!

I think a lot of people will. I’ll check but I’m sure Army Painter will do an upgrade set for the mega set buyers

I like your idea, we'll have a play to see if we can paint plasma any faster!

There’s a few different lid options available on the internet these days. Worth having a look. If you have access to a 3D printer you can make your own too. But otherwise I used: Grab the paint lid toppers @ etsy.me/3HanA8w (use code WATCHITPAINTIT5 for 5% off)

Isn’t it just!

Oooooooooh. I remember that from Diablo II. Thanks for pointing that out! Good lad

Murder scene and howling sand are two of my favs too!

Haha, you know I never noticed that! It was one of the colours we designed. So I know it has hardly any red in the mix! But in a bottle like that you can clearly see it looks like it’s mostly red :D it’s just the 2% settled to the top. Can’t explain the label though. I don’t think it looks like that really, it’s a very pale off white dead skin looking colour. I guess technically a bit green :D

Great suggestion. Let me see!

Sounds great! I am sure a ton of people could use a quick and super easy way of painting plasma glow effects.

Exactly, Scythe Noire!!

I think they’ll be an upgrade pack so you can live the dream!

Not long to wait, if your wallet will allow :-D

10 spares won’t hurt though :D I got 100 and used 93 so far! Gotta make up those custom colours!

I got them in white. No priming but I double coated in varnish after

@@WatchItPaintIt Thanks, that is good to know.

Glad you enjoyed it :-D changed my intro a lot in the last few months :-D it’s always a lot more effort :D

It’s definitely faster than it was, not noticed significant tide marks though. It feels pretty much the same to me so far!

No I didn’t! So my colours may be slightly out. But it saved me a lot of effort with priming!

Yeah Nuclear Sunrise is problematic. I saw Army Painter will replace or refund that one, so make sure you let them know. I understand what you mean about feeling like prototypes. It’s just unfortunate we brought the change to the labels late to the process. They’d already been long into the work. While unfortunate not all the bottles have it, I try and be glad they altered it for the future rather than not doing it just to make new adopters less dissatisfied. Oooh nice call on the Fire Drake, I’ve been using it to paint old, tanned skin! Kinda the same I guess :-D

@@WatchItPaintIt Yeah, I'm happy they are reviewing and taking feedback as we go - I really hope that AP gets out of the underdog place - I always used their paints and yeah, they sometimes need more work, but the level of flack they sometimes get is just odd. Not to mention that even with "you get what you pay for" you come out on top as usually they are at least close to par. As for Nuclear Sunrise - they were VERY quick to reply and offered either refund on the spot or replacement list for when they get single bottles. Very good customer service there. And I must say, I do like a LOT of SP2.0 colors more than GW contrasts. BTW another nice trick I've found in my last 2 days of testing - Ocultist Cloak is a GREAT base for trying NMM when applied on zenithal. Due to opacity it retains the undertone and highlights so it is WAY easier to start applying blends. Not to mention that in itself looks like a dull gunmetal. All the best and thanks for great content, I have your video saved as it spared me painting all of the new swatches, kudos!

@@WatchItPaintIt Where did AP offer refunds or replacements for nuclear dawn?

"apart from Nuclear dawn that seems to be having a production fault and you need to strain it" Did you strain yours? If so, can you share how? I'd like to be able to use it, as it's the only orange in the set.

@@Springheel01 Hi! I did, and it is ok but clearly lost pigment in those clumps. I've used a small metal coffee sieve pouring into a small plastic container to match sieve's size - tried paper filters but they were absorbing almost entire liquid portion right away. For the note - vortex mixer did nothing to it, I gave it a spin for a good 4 minutes to a point I could feel my teeth vibrating, but that made no difference, those clumps are essentially solid.

The red rises to the top! You should have seen us making that colour. It was like 80 drops medium, 15 drops white, 3 drops green, 2 drops yellow. Then take an insane detail brush and add a single stroke of red :-D evidentially at the scale to produce the entire bottle the red is more noticeable!

So glad this is helping over and over! How you finding the paints?

@@WatchItPaintIt I keep buying them and they keep working exactly how I want them too. Currently testing out color schemes on some 3d printed Tyranids and they work perfect on them

I need to do a new video. I’ve painted sooooo much in the last few weeks and it’s because I’m slapchopping a couple of minis every night with brush on primer and then sped painting. 30-60 mins later I’ve done another 2-4 minis

It’s a brown isn’t it normally, so quite reddish! Used to by only light brown choice :D glad there’s more now! Don’t think you’ll be waiting long now :)

Great idea! Stay tuned!

Good questions. I’ve not noticed the new ones take too long. But I’ve also only done it once so far for this video! I’ll go make a video about the whites and I’ll try and notice how much shaking they take! I’ll also do a must have video ASAP but it’s so subjective… like my list probably won’t have any greens…. Because I don’t like green :D

@@WatchItPaintIt just for reference, I shook up my Holy White about 2 days ago and it already has a T H I C C layer of white sediment. Malignant Green can get a bit of it but is fairly okay to shake up, it has never happened to any of the other in the 1.0 starter pack or the singles I've bought, they are always nicely mixed without any sediment.

Great question! We’ll see what we can do! If you have any interest in checking out our Patreon/discord we’ll answer it with pictures in there

Also Fire Drake is clearly named after Fire Lizard from the regular line which is a yellow orange and is instead a chocolate brown.

Not primed! No fear. Double varnished though :)

Mine wasn’t perfect but not as bad as others. Pretty sure Army Painter put out a public announcement somewhere about it being faulty and they’ll refund or replace that one. Annoying, but they’ll fix it as best they can!

Maize yellow is definitely a favourite of mine. Was one colour I wanted before I even saw 2.0 so was over the moon to see they’d made it :-)

We did Mumified Grime, Burnished Red, Thunderbird blue, Rigor Mortis, Maggotskin, Blinding Light, Princess Pink. Dana did the pastels (and Princess pink we both ended up making basically the same colour), Lizardfolk cyan, Howling Sand

Nuclear sunrise, tyrian navy, and one of the blueish greens. Gonna paint some Saurian Starhost themed like Gishath from MTG's Ixalan expansion, some pacific rim colored alien hives from Onepagerules. Robot Legion (necron) colors are still up in the air (Szarakhan vs your cobalt theme)

The absolution green or however its called.

Hardened leather (it just does leather SO well), camo cloak, and sand golem (absolutely love putting it over a flat, bright silver to make gold). Haven't had much time yet to try out my 2.0 mega set, so they haven't been able to bump out my top 1.0 contenders yet. But I'm definitely looking forward to getting into them more!

Howling sand, maize yellow and seafoam ❤️ If only I had enough money (and minis to paint) to justify buying the complete set 🙈 I love all of these, but I'll just have to settle to buying individual colours once they're available.

Hardened Leather by a long distance. So good. Amazing color.

June!

How tall are my Speedpaints with the added toppers #speedpaints #paintingminiatures

@@WatchItPaintIt 😔 sadly I should have watched the whole video before commenting. I got the .stl I'll be printing off about 200 of those bad boys in bite sized chunks.

I believe their website says releases May 27th, in retail stores June 10th. I was told mine should be arriving around today the 28th, but now I'm wondering if they meant May... I need to check on mine

June!!!

Thanks man. No idea :( I feel like I can’t know either way. Only trust psychology and what KZfaq tell you to do. Our channel doesn’t get much traffic at all. I have no idea why: really only that we rarely do clickbait or face thumbnails! So trying to do what everyone says to do lately.

Yes

I dunno man, I was pretty fricking excited when I found out metallics were in the Speedpaint range!

They *should* look almost identical. However, I have not tried it in person yet!

We’ve asked. They don’t currently have a plan to do this! I’m not sure why! But even a good deal of all the singles would do right? Doesn’t need a box set? Just a good discount for the 40 together? I’ll keep suggesting that

Nice idea!

Nope! I got white and the Speedpaint applied okay. I think priming would be slightly better, but at the cost of more effort!

@@WatchItPaintIt What an absolute madlad.

We made Mumified Grime, Burnished Red, Thunderbird Blue, Blinding Light, Rigor Mortis, Maggot Skin and Princess Pink

Or I goofed up and mixed the lids up at some point? I’ll double check if I messed up for you. But I also expect there could easily be some differences between batches! How different are we talking?

@@WatchItPaintIt Night and day honestly, mine is a very dark brown, with like... at best an afterthought of red. Sorry - I'm not thinking for a second there's anything properly amiss with your video here, really want to be clear on that. Probably entirely batch driven like you say - it's also my fault for dumping a load on a mini and not testing it first haha :D Nothing a bit of dettol won't fix!

I believe it will be, I’ll double check with Army Painter and let you know if I’m wrong. Haha, it’s still in the set! And now I have it on my tshirt :-D

@@WatchItPaintIt from what I hear tshirts getting ruined tends to happen with gloryholes....hahaha

@@awijntje14 😁🤮

Sorry. This set isn’t quite out yet! We worked on developing the paints so got an early copy to play with the colours we made

@@WatchItPaintIt I thought some of the paints and sets were out already. My supplier doesn't have any.
