Thank you so much. It was a lot of work, but based on the subscriptions added from it I guess I have to put more effort into the review stuff going forward to grow the channel.

Yeah I intend to use both for awhile and figure out which I prefer more.. I already started moving the Pro Acrly into smaller more squeezy bottles. Fits my paint rack setup better too. :)

Thank you. Took a lot of effort making the video, but I think it was one of my more polished ones overall. Keep fighting that Fomo! I'll be working long past retirement age if I keep jumping on every new shiney thing.

Well I guess I need to specify in my rambling :). I was adding those to the OLD warpaints and the Vallejo that didn't have any as I was trying to give everything a level playing field for mixing and testing. I am aware they add balls since speed paint, I just wish ALL the brands did. Pro Acryl does as well of course.

@@hopelesshobbyaddict Ahh. Yeah that makes sense, never used the old warpaints myself but I've seen almost everyone complain that it separates easily.

just terrible honestly. The vortex mixer + mixing balls + a few drops of Vallejo thinning medium was their saving Grace that kept me using them the last few years. Made them much more pleasant overall, but still weak in the pigment side of things for a fair amount of those colors.

@@hopelesshobbyaddict Well since I am also a Fanatic mega set buyer (I just recently started in the hobby and didn't have many paints, and they were relatively cost effective per bottle) your review of the total paint range vs. what's in the mega box was very helpful in terms of which Fanatics I might pick up next. I only got my this week so I don't have a ton of experience with them, but they seem to be a major improvement over how everyone describes their old line.

@@jamiehuebsch Glad you found the hobby. It's a great journey that I plan to ride out as long as I can hold a brush and see the plastic in front of my eyes. :)

It showed up today for me! Fast customer service by the Broken Anvil team

To the Bone!

You bet. This isn't all. But my approach is to have at least 3 of the 6 in each triad. So I added in Brigade Grey, Castle Grey, Worn Tone, Brainmatter Beige for the Warm Greys. The whole Browns Triad of 6. Still baffled they didn't at least put a leather brown from that. The 4 plasma glow effects, The whole Light Neutral Triad(skeleton/desert colors), 3 in warm reds Angelic, Legendary, Raging Rouge. Additional yellows- Fiendish Yellow, Warped Yellow. Oranges -- Molten Lava, Glowing Inferno, Inner light. Tree Ancient, Buffed Hide from Rudy Brown. Orchare/tans Wasteland Clay,Barren Dunes. Cool reds- Raging Rose, Blood Chalice. Pinks-- Doomfire and Pink potion(need for upcoming yellow focused painting video ironically), Deep Greens- Ferocious Green. Olive Greens- Woodland Camo, Olive Drab, Grotesque Green, Vibrant Greens- Afterglow, Emerald Forest. For the flesh. And others, I just picked a missing one from whatever areas it lacked in the Triad. Something near 1/3/6 of each range. Can try to find those later if needed. Just trying to do this on lunch break with limited notes.

In my defense, as this review literally took me April/May to do. I toss in 1-4 bottles per Miniature Market order if they have some clearance games and miniatures each week in the "Backroom" deals.

So slowly building out. Now I debate if I rebottle the Pro Acrly to droppers too and mix those in.

Yeah I am here. Always working away in the background between the day job and the family. I do have some photo and footage from some other Journy miniatures I could I'd be happy to post up on my Discord if you want to pop in there and say hi. I updated the invite link so it works now. I do want to get back to that, but I know in my heart I have to stick with the upcoming Deep Rock as a priority. It's my only NICHE series on youtube at the moment that no one else has really done. I'm not going anywhere though. Slow and steady wins the race!

@@hopelesshobbyaddict sure! Toss me an invite please!

discord channel here discord.com/invite/HhCpcxRXZd

Thank you!

There is some saying about "imitation is the ultimate form of flattery" I think :) I put these out to give people ideas and copy as you see fit. I'm not a master artist by any means so happy people are getting use from them. I'll start cranking out more episodes soon with all the resin prints I have for the expansion. I fixed my discord link I had and if you go there you can see some of my first finished "attempts" at the driller and engineer revisions as well that I didn't release video for until I get it right. discord.com/invite/HhCpcxRXZd I tossed a few photo's in the "Share-Your-Painting-Pictures" Section at the top.

Thank you so much. These are such a pleasure to paint too. My pile of shame is going to rival the pyramids in Egypt if I don't stop getting kickstarters in, you are not alone in the struggle!

Now I feel guilty for not finishing up my video edits on the next two episodes. I'll get cracking on it again soon!😀

@@hopelesshobbyaddict I hope you do so I can figure out how to paint the rest :D

@@bcaapower Well there is always Sarastro's in the meantime if you need ideas. I'm trying to do mine differently from his, but his series helped get me back into painting about 5 years ago.

Thanks! 😄

Glad I could help! :)

Thank you! I'm not given free product or paid to review, so I want to give an honest review before someone else goes and spends their hard earned cash on it. I am painting up some miniatures for the full "Metallic set" review as well I got at Christmas. Hopefully wrap that up in the next week or so and provide some useful feedback there as well for people.

@@hopelesshobbyaddict I would love to see a comparison of the fanatic line and the speed paint line. See what gaps each other fill. Maybe a video for another time.

I was debating the starter set of fanatic to test. I'll see how much that might set me back.

Awesome! So glad these will help get you rolling on painting them up. Such fun miniatures. I'm eagerly awaiting the Expansion models to get rolling on as well.

Welcome!

Thanks for the kind words! I'm guilty for stepping away from the painting desk this month. I'm tearing apart the garage for another week or so...aka the hobby cave..since it's been 45 degree's in there, but I'll be back at it soon with more.

Yeah these ones, and trying to get that Warder's back dome to glow pink, still give me some nightmares. Hard colors for me to mix and manipulate.

@@hopelesshobbyaddict Definitely been delaying getting to the warden and exploders, already failed doing a bit of glow effect on the macteras. DRG is my first foray into painting minis and it's very helpful there's a guide just for them thank you!

@@j-sun3821 You bet! It forced me just to give it a "best effort" on a few of these models, like the Spitters. I think it made me a better painter by the end and has been fun to share the journey :)

If this means "paint the rest" then that is the goal :). Editing the videos is the slow part for me.

@@gamerkg73 yes it was paint the rest haha the phone corrector made me write a word in french haha sorry

@@renatoe3417 I figured it was something like that. Thanks! :)

Whoops. I keep responding with my other account! I'll get this youtube thing down one day. :)

It is definitely something you have to watch out for on the 1.0 version. I am the oddball that actually LIKES that fact they do that though and utilize that a number of times in the Deep Rock painting series. I have messed more with the 2.0 Speed paint, and it almost dries too fast after learning to deal with the 1.0. If you have the 1.0 Speed paint, you could also buy a small dropper of the 2.0 Speed paint Medium. I've been adding a drop of that in with my 1.0 when I dilute them. It does seem to help limit the reactivation if I want to do some acrylic edge highlighting doing it that way. That, or I just don't thin down my edge highlight paints with much liquid, which seems to be the big thing that activates them, the moisture.

Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad my efforts were not in vain. I hope to get the expansion painting going once those STL files are released to print by Mood. Quietly editing up some other videos and redoes as time permits. I'd love to see some finishing paint ups if you like. Toss some photo's on my discord if you want as you work thru them. I love see others results. discord.com/invite/vAgkSXbK6P

There are so many options you could use there. I was just going thru the speed paints and wanted to pull in a few colors while doing these videos. The screenshot was a white or off-white I think. I just really like the Sand golem speed paint color and wanted some contrast from the yellows/greens.

@@hopelesshobbyaddict ok

Definitely in the planning stages right now. Awesome these helped get you going on the painting too! It really brings the game alive having some color on the miniatures. Since the expansion is coming, I've been seriously mulling over a redo over the whole series, refilming and updating. I took some video game screen shots last week of the various versions of the creatures in those biomes, and I have been coming up with some blue color ideas for the praetorian. I want to try to offer a contrast/speed paint version of each model, and a traditional acrylic paint version. Figure that might make the videos more accessible to everyone starting out with one type of paint of the other. That, and I need to keep practicing painting both ways in my "table ready" standard so I don't become permanently in the speed paint only.

Would have to have frozen Goo bomber variations for sure as well!

Thanks! I can't wait for more mini's from Expansion. I'm on the fence now with shelling out to Mythic to get the rest of the Darkest Dungeon expansions I already paid for. Probably well.

Love it. I totally forgot to hit the eyes in this video, but the gloss glazing medium definitely came out way better then I hoped for the muscles pushing out the grunt. I'll have to check out the nuclear sunrise over metal. I just started going thru every 2.0 color and making sample swatches over gunmetal, plate mail, and shining silver colors from Army painter so I have a quick reference chart. Hadn't gotten to the red or oranges yet.

Yeah...all in.Collectors Choice. After spending more then that on Mythic games and such in the past to not even get the product, I'm at least happy knowing the quality of what to expect after the first delivery from Mood Publishing. I smiled and groaned all at once when I saw the # of mini's heading at me. You know I will absolutely continue this saga though and crank out the video's. :) I hope they include the bulk detonator in the STL files so I can print a few to practice on.

Welcome back sir! So, I never got the "defective" ones. I assumed they tossed those out with the redo. I guess I don't have anything to compare to except the cardboard ones. I feel they are clearer and brighter than the cardboard that came with the game.

I think the cardboard is brighter, but more washed-out colors verses darker but more crisp pictures/color of the acrylic ones. I guess I've never had tokens like this before, so I don't have something to judge them against.

@@hopelesshobbyaddict thanks for the reply. Mine plastic ones are definitely less colorful and less bright than the cardboard ones. Sounds like i definitely didnt get the good ones so. Thanks again for the feedback

Thanks for your feedback! I definitely was a slacker this summer. Work and kids summer vacation derailed me. I've had video footage since June to edit and release. Guess I better get in the flow again before two more expansions to paint show up! :)

@@hopelesshobbyaddict Hey, we all need a break every now and then! Stoked!

I had a few beef's I guess with the box. The map tiles just piled up and slide around. The miniature trays, while great for securing the mini during shipment, could grab a bit tight on the painted models, and sized higher then needed. Yes, Goo from above as well, wanted to fit that in. Sounds like they improved the trays in the core box in the Expansion kickstarter that just launched today.

Until she pushed me off a ledge into a pit tonight when she walked by me in the video game.

I think on that one I started with about a 1 drop to 2 drops of ink to glaze medium. I didn't want to overpower things. In the end, I don't think it added much verses what the speedpaint already did. You'd have to experiment a bit to see. I highly recommend having some cheap little plastic figures around primed in white to test your colors on if you have some, like the little army men I use in this one.
