If you're a subscriber of the channel(thank you) you know how much I love Contrast Paints, Speed Paints, and anything that us all get great looking miniatures on the table, ready for a game, as quickly as possible! As soon as I saw ‪@greenstuffworld‬ were entering this same arena of paints...I had to try them out! The bottle are larger, the price point is lower...but what about the quality? Will they change the game? Thank you to GSW for sending me out half the range to try out for this review, now I gotta get the other half!
Let me know if you have any other questions and I'll get back to you as soon as possible!

Putting all the paints over white-primed miniatures as a test is actually really useful, as the colour previews provided by GSW are 3D renders which don't actually represent the actual colours. Some of the previews aren't even close to what the paint looks like in reality after you've applied a single coat, so it is still important to test them all out individually.

Awesome video the ogroid in the beginning I think turned out really cool, because of the lack of colors like a dark brown the grey helped make it pop I think especially after the wash These seem really good I agree while the orange wasn't as vibrant after one coat, I think that's a benefit to these rather than a hindrance. Since it didn't seem to reactivate and it has a longer drying time allowing you to smooth out the paint I think it helps get the exact brightness your looking for, maybe just a tint or a nice bright orange.

@MediocreHobbies Жыл бұрын

Ye for sure a benefit. Makes them a lot easier to work with.

Either is good, if you’re happy, stick to what you know you like!

@@MediocreHobbies I got the reactivation issues with... un-named paint brand paints, when I went in to "correct" mistakes w/ a basic ivory paint, e.g. using normal Vallejo Ivory (thinned a bit w/ water perhaps) as an "eraser" to touch up some of the spill over from the base paint. They're different medium, I guess, which don't play nice? I've HEARD that if you mix some of the contrast-type medium into the "normal" acrylic paint, this issue doesn't occur, but I can't verify that.

Please make a video showing all 12 samples on a textured base or some infantry. The GSW website and youtube channel have terrible examples. Their youtube channel has terrible lighting and their website uses computer graphic examples instead of real representative sample pictures. For instance on your video the black shadow looked gray, while on their video it looked like a yellow brown. A video like that would really help the community out. While they don't seem to suffer from 'reactivation' or rubbing off, they are not as saturated as contrast or speedpaint. For instance, looking at the dark elwood brown, it would require a few coats to darken it up. Thanks!

Here's one of the things, I see a lot of reviews where people were sent the product for review. Anyone else is going to have to wait for it to hit a distributor because for many people, ordering directly from Green Stuff World hits the shipping and handling. The line is on sale when I looked. Added them to my cart and went to check out. The S&H was higher than the total saved costs on all the paints. So no, not ordering from them. I appreciate that they don't control the costs of s&h but if my FLSG or my online FLSG don't get them, I won't be using them.
