This video is about the "Speedpaint 1.0" line of paints that was released in 2022. In 2023, these were phased out for an updated line of paints referred to as "Speedpaint 2.0" The Speedpaint 2.0 line has improved durability and a wider color selection, and there are minor differences in the flow. The bulk of information in this video is absolutely still applicable though! Happy painting 🙂

Yeah, hoping that an affordable larger bottle of the thinning medium will be available soon. Many of the speed paints seem quite dark and it would be useful to be able to thin these for use as washes/tinting. Keeping these accessible to folks will certainly make these a staple going forward. Congrats as well on the overall favourable and enthusiastic response from the community.

Many of the finshed test models have a "grainy texture" to them (3:24 is probably the best example). I have seen this in other tests of your speedpaint line-up. How would you go about to limit this?

Hey All! At the time of this posting we're still several weeks out from the release of these paint sets. Here's some food for thought though, in case your local store is doing preorders or whatnot :-)

Bumper/Intro: While I do appreciate the reviews from creators such as yourself and to show such I watch fully comment and updoot, there is one bit of feedback to Army Painter I wish I could get to them. Upfront declaration of conflict of interest: My go tos for paint are Army Painter, Vallejo, and Liquitex, with some toes in other brands so I am probably going to buy the hell out of these to expand my toolkit. Intro: Look, the appeal to authority argument is great and giving these to influencers in our community has to be great roi for advertising dollars so I get it. However, they started like in the middle of last year for a product at the time slated for release in march of `22. I get building hype but for many products in our niche those reviews typically pretty close to release time to build the hype at an appropriate time. (and subtly manipulate that BUY NOW and FOMO gremlin). Which I also agree can be a pain for the CC because these vids don't just magically appear (see your commentary on the subject, and also Guy's from Midwinter minis for further support). Problem and clarification: But the problem with the building it too early is now in every video of this product that gets released, I am reminded that: I...can't...buy...this...product. (insert subconscious negative attachments to the brand). Like I said, they started this a couple of quarters ago. This has happened enough to where I have literally been conditioned to have a mild negative emotional response to their product, which is NEVER the intent of the marketing roadmap. And I realize that I am not special or unique or some wonderful snowflake out in the drift so I am sure I am not the only one who has gotten that...I guess Pavlovian...unintended conditioning. (note at the time of writing we're having some rather pretty snow in my region hence the analogy. and also marketing is just weaponized psych so I get it.) I mean, you even had to comment that we can't get it yet so there is evidence I am preaching to the choir as it were, and as a qualifier under no circumstances am I faulting you, any other content creators, or the manufacturer. (I just want to be clear sense we can't see each other's faces or tone of voice that NONE of this is trying to be like...awful or internet-y or whatever). Context: And yes I am aware of the Geedubooyas colored elephant in the room...so I get the push. Especially because people get, weirdly tribal about paint sometimes, but to the marketing team @ Army I would like to tell them that you might have stumbled a little with such a long lead in and sooo many previews spread out. A little more clustered closer to the...quarter...of release might be better. Markets tend to have ADHD and goldfish memory for advertising dollars. Bumper/Close: Thank you for your super chill content, and your advice with painting, I literally use some of your tutorials when I am introducing newbies to the hobby to demystify it, and I like the vid. If, the company asks for any feedback, you could pass on my random internet rambling concerns, it would be appreciated. If not cool, you owe us (and me) nothing in particular and I certainly don't want any extra effort on you guys part. Again thanks and hopefully this is taken in a way that in no means is aggressive or condemning or misconstrued.

@@GauldameGauldame They've been marketing these for about 3 months and have only recently started taking pre-orders. Ever thought that some of the previews are spread out because some content creators can't just drop everything to knock out a video and they might have sat with the paints for weeks or months? There's also the fact that not every hobbyist can afford to just drop $100 at a moment's notice on their hobby and having some lead time gives some them a chance to put a few bucks away, unlike say Games Workshop with their FOMO BS...

Here's a tip for the color thing. I do this when recanting my contrast paints, and I plan to do it with these when I get them. Put a layer of white primer on each paint lid and let it dry, then just paint the lids with the speedpaints! It will show an approximation of its highest and lowest shades with the ribbing of the dropper bottle lid, and it gives you a good idea of what the paint will look like on a model. I actually do this with all my paint lids, not just the contrast paints. Makes paint selections so much easier!

The tall bottles are a bit tricky, but if my ADHD ass can remember it's there and not knock it over, then other people can too. And if you're going to be putting it in a pallet like you have to when you use a dropper bottle, then close the bottle and you don't have to worry about it. GW pots aren't that bad.

One takeaway from this video and Squidmar’s is that the low viscosity (lower than Contrast paints’) is a real boon: whereas with Contrast paints pooling can erase fine details - it appears the Army Painter Speedpaints don’t have this problem - despite the pools seen in this video, they didn’t dry as solid clumps!

This is the most thorough, non-biased review of these Speedpaints that I have seen. Using them as instructed over matte and gloss, over metalllics, over zenithal, over drybrushed, through an airbrush. You didn't just take the paints do whatever you want with them then complain when it doesn't work as imagined they would without actually trying them first. Well done and a class act all the way.

So much information in this review. Thank you so much for putting the time and effort in to it. It's much appreciated!

This is a great video! Thank you! I was already planning to pick up a few based on the teasers I'd seen posted on KZread but this comprehensive showing of the colors will probably get my to buy the set. I love contrast paints, and these look to be a more consistent version at a better price point and in a better bottle.

A factor I think a lot of people would have wanted to see would have been how well they apply over flatter surfaces as that is always the biggest complaint about Contrast - especially in the interest of an honest review. As much as I hate Army painter paints and brushes, I will try these out, they look like they are pretty good and should be good for mixing and matching with my Contrast paints.

What a great review! Thanks Brent! I greatly appreciate the time and effort you put forth in this video and your honest review of these paints.

When I first bought mini paints I was baffled by how little information they give you for the price. What pigments are in something called "sand golem"? Is it sunfast? How opaque is it? I'm used to watercolor paint catalogues that write you an essay and an excel sheet on everything (which makes buying paint more fun than I can afford tbh), and felt a little cheated when trying to buy paints for minis that are priced like professional products and sold to knowledgable and interested painters, but described like children's toys. So this review was really helpful, and I liked that you spoke about the pigments being different from each other, and showed how they dry differently!

But these paints look like a thing I may enjoy using over my gesso base to color and get rid of the texture to use my good brushes faster.

Amazing review, thanks for all your work. I have also fallen in love with contrasts, as its so easy to paint and then highlight. I will be picking up a box of these however as the price seems fair and they dont come in those stupid pots which I knocked over reaching to skip a YT add. 😒

Thanksa I'm a chemist as well and love seeing your careful "experiment design". The scientific and thorough approach to testing stuff is so much appreciated.

This is a terrific review, very informative and the color swatches at the end are sure to come in handy later. Thanks!

I have never painted anything before. But I did recently pick up Return to Dark tower and all the expansions and I am interested in seeing how much of a investment it would be to paint the little guys. Out of all the miniature model painting videos out there, this one spoke to me the most. I like it, get these paints, do this, and it looks good. Sold.

I honestly had no real interest in these paints. However, after seeing some of your test models, mostly the white with Plasmatic Bolt and High Lord Blue, I am tempted to try a few colors. Thanks for the amazing breakdown!

Thanks mate - this was an awesome video! Loved the end display of colours!

Awesome video. As a beginner I really appreciate the honesty and the amount of different factors you added in. Will definitely pick these up.

My life is complete, I've just watched a vid of paint drying, Thank you Mr Goober.

I've been a fan of Contrasts for a long time, but the two things I hate about them are the price and the bottles. This seems like the perfect addition (not so much replacement I suppose)!

I wouldn’t bother, all the paint colors are exactly the same, if you already have contrast paints there’s no point in buying these unless you run out of a pot of contrast. It really irritates me that they just ripped off the colors 1 for 1 instead of making some different colors that people who already have contrast paint would actually buy. You don’t poach someone from a job by offering them the exact same money and benefits, you need to offer more, and Army Painter is offering the same if not less.

So, you like being charged more for a worse product, hmm? That explains why you like GW. Speedpaint has similar colors - because both GW and AP are covering the same basic colors - shocking, I know. Speedpaint is a lot more consistent across the line - Contrast is a great idea, with mediocre implimentation. There are Contrast colors that are excellent - Wyldwood will be remaining as one of my main choices. Others are horrible globby crap - the Dark Angels Green will be replaced with Speedpaint. But you gleefully ignore the price gouging that GW routinely engages in. The Speedpaints have moderate improvements over Contrast - and are more reasonably priced. A better product at a better price.

@@sindrimyr2423 It’s a new color range. Of course they’re going to offer all the basic colors people need. This is how paint ranges work. If the basic colors sell well, and at this price point I don’t see how they can’t, I’m sure they’ll expand the range.

@@bogatyr2473 yeah, sure they’ll expand the range at some point. When will that be? In 2 years? It already took them almost a year to release this range, they gave us 23 colors that’s no excuse for every single one of them to be the same at the colors of contrast. At least 3 should be totally unique.

Man thank you for actually going through all the colours and not just using 1 or 2 as an example. This gave me all the info I was looking for!

I'm just getting back into gaming and miniatures and I've been catching up to what is being used these days. Another content creator reviewed these paints and she had the same observations about these paints. I'm sold. Thank you for your review! I'm interested in 3D printing too so I'll be following your channel.

Maybe it's because GW prices have made me cynical, but I was expecting way worse than $99. Definitely going to have to pick this set up. Thanks for the informative review!

I love how thorough your reviews are and would love in turn to see your results if you have any issues with base layers of Speedpaint reactivating when you paint over them with any other acrylics. Seems a hot topic at present and definitely a deal breaker for many (including myself) on whether or not to invest in these paints so I’m curious if you’d encountered this in testing? Or would test this in future?

This kind of videos are extremely useful. Thanks for take the time and effort in create it

I have this video saved right to my phone so I can review that last minute whenever I go to use my Speed Paints. It's a wonderful show case and has helped me immensely. Just starting to paint and push myself to learn new techniques. Over heated gun barrel for my flamers, plasma gunners and melta gunners were the last technique I jumped into and the showcase of the colors helped me pick the right colors the first time and saved having to redo multiple times. Thank you!

At first I was planning on just grabbing the starter set...but after seeing this I realize there are a good many colors that I want from the mega....may have to just bite the bullet and pay the extra XD.

Saying thank you for this just doesn't feel like enough. The way you went about this was first class and so informative. Kudos, sir!

This is probably my favorite part about speedpaints coming out. They were designed to go over white, whereas contrast is best over an off-white. It just makes me think these will work even better with traditional Zenithal priming.
