    For me, Speedpaints are perfect for painting minis for board games that have a whole lot of minis that don't need to look perfect, like Zombicide. They're cheaper than contrasts and you get pretty good results for very little effort and no one is really gonna inspect how the zombies look, as long as they have the shirt, pants, and skin painted everyone is happy and appreciates your work. Otherwise I really like the classic layering technique, it might be slow but it makes me calm and my head stays quiet, which nice :)

    As someone who has far more boardgames with minis than actual minis games to paint, this is why i jumped in on 2.0. I have the original but fairly limited palette and mixing colours (especially if I had a specific colour I wanted) was far too much trial and error just due to the nature of the paints.

    I've always liked to take speedpaints/contrasts and then do the classic layering method. Most of my paintjobs start off as a slapchop job now, and then I proceed to apply 3-7 steps on top of that. Can get really good shading and some very nice looking models that way.

    A good way to see what the color is, is to prime/drybrush the lids and paint them, afterwards putting a varnish so it doesn't rub off. For those who haven't used speedpaints, the color is realllllly dark and lightens up considerably when applied/dried. I use the 1.0 Speedpaints quite abit and never had the cracking problem, but I've also never blow dried them before, so it could be that or the new formula they used? Another good way to get details to pop is to first do the details in the next darker color in between the muscles, undersuits, cloth fold lines, etc, and then go over the whole model with the original color you'd use.

    Got mine recently form the preorder and I am really happy with it. On it's own if gives acceptable results but if you add the highlighting step as you normally would - you get to really nice results with skipping layering step AND the paint guides you as to where to put most important/strongest highlights. It really acts more like a guide then while removing one of the most boring step of basing/layering + washing. Two main issues I've seen with those was that some paints need additional water (especially blue ones) and most don't - so they are a bit inconsistent. Other thing is that Nuclear Sunrise is messed up from the box, I spoke with Army Painter and they say that this particular pigment is more affected by temperature as expected and has grain like clots of pigment in it. Army painter said they will be refunding/replacing those by request. Other than that, really happy with them - they are not a magic wand and the best thing ever but they are very convenient and they still allow for a range of approaches to quality. If you want to buy them, I would wait for a second release though. It will have the Nuclear Sunrise issue fixed, new labels describing what the color actually is in addition to the name. People who preordered got a bit of a raw deal there for sure, but in general it is worth the money, especially for a beginner/intermediate painter with time constraints. And I really don't see a point of paying more for contrast paints form GW, maybe not all the colors are good, but ones that are - are really good at what they do.

    This might occur because of a high capillaric pressure between the pigment particles and the fluid phase and the appeal of the pigment particles to each other. If they come closer together while the liquid is evaporating the tension might be so high, that cracks occur. This should not happen if you paint in thinner layers and with a matt primed surface to get a more hydrophile surface (less repelling)...

Out of the bottle, it's probably closer to the darker parts of imperial fists, but maybe a little too muted for it's bright yellow highlights. And it's easier to shadow down with a wash, than highlighting up in a smooth manner (talking speed-painting). Hence going with the brighter yellow.

    Really appreciate your unbiased review. I've just seen too many issues with Speedpaint to feel compelled to try them over contrast. I can paint over contrast, varnish it, mix it with other paints and have no issues, so I don't really feel the need to replace them. The only issue with contrast is that it is quite delicate - though I suspect this is probably a problem with a lot of these sorts of paints, as they're basically inks and inks do have durability issues.

    I think some of the details on the Imperial Fist looked rather flat. Speedpaints also have a much richer, deeper yellow called Zealot Yellow - the paint is actually red when it's a thick layer, but bright yellow in a thin layer. I think the Fist could have benefitted a lot from a wash with a very thinned-down coat of Zealot Yellow to add some extra depth to the shadows.

    Agreed! Zealot Yellow is amazing. Paint it over a pale yellow undercoat and you end up with a super vibrant, warm yellow with minimal work.

    Great video. I enjoy Speed Paint and I look forward to trying 2.0, but I'm finding I also like using layer paints in tandem. When I do use mostly speed paint/contrast paint, I find I can sometimes get uneven or splotchy results. Anyone else experience this?

    Well they work the same, and I have all the citadel ones, however there’s a fair amount of tones that sit between citadel colours, or ones they don’t even do. There’s like 7 flesh tones which gives me more choice, so in short yeah you’ll have more choice. - peachy

    I think this is a great review and a good product for Army Painter to put out. Fundamentally, I don't like the look of any high flow (Contrast/Speed/Whatever) on any Space Marine models. Nothing really saves on time if you want a good paint job, this one coat and done stuff to me is really better done by regular paints, sorry. The good news is...I think high flow paints are excellent as a tool in the kit, if you do multi-coats, and take the trouble to highlight as usual. Space Marines are cool, take the time!

    I see them as more of a base coating option and/or a way to get really saturated colors with less work. Painting yellow Speed Paint over a pale yellow undercoat, for example, results in a really vibrant coat of paint.

    All should be fixed, completely new formulation. Obviously, drying time is very much environmentally influenced and just because it's dry to touch doesn't mean it's fully cured. That said, in our testing, even the faintest bleed through on a white overcoat was remedied with a second coat. Just like the snow base ;)

    Really should've picked different models since contrast paints work best on texture and not flat panels. Something with fur, chain mail, scales and the like. So, couple of things, those metallic ones might be great for weathering on top of a different color. The black does what it's supposed to - Black Templar/Legion are FANTASTIC but for base coats and a replacement for Abaddon Black, while this Army Painter one seems like it'd be good for soot or something else that needs a heavy tone. Wouldn't mind seeing another video of these paints and to see you get creative with different texture surfaces. Pink fur, brown leather jacket (gharaghak's sewer is amazing for bomber jacket leather), a purple banner, black scales, golden chainmail.. It's not that I want to see a garish rainbow of things, but rather how well these paints work and a little out of the box thinking.

    since most other contrast colours are tested on space marines as well I prefer this since it gives me a better comparison. If I watch two videos where someone uses army painter on beastman fur and someone else using vallejo express on space marines I don't get much of a comparison. Also space marines are probably by far the most painted miniatures in the world.

    @@BSJDynasty I get the reasoning, but space marines are the single worst models to paint with contrasts and since their properties and not their coverage or color is what matters with them, it's also an actual bad way to test them, since Peachy has to use his experience to layer them evenly. It's always been bad for GW to sell contrasts by showing marines. Continuing down that path doesn't really help. Also you should know by now what the difference between base, layer, wash and contrast is, there isn't anything on these models that shows you the difference between speed paints, contrasts and the other brands.
