I don't think we'd take any of the praise for the new Fanatic line seriously if they censored any talk about the poor quality of their previous War Paint lineup or were pretending it was great, or even good.

This video is so well done that I'm in shock that it's from a paint company. Such great storytelling and camera/editing work. The pay off at the end with five medals, heartwarming. Perfect video.

Haven't used this yet, but everyone involved in the creation of 'Peachy Flesh' Speedpaint 2.0 needs a raise, and a statue. Incredible achievement in paint technology.

Big respect for not editing out the negative/constructive feedback

oh dang, this is the best video in the series so far! great work to everyone involved, and congrats to Thomas on his excellent haircut.

For Army Painter to go to these lengths to show off their new paints and to critique speaks VOLUMES. It truly goes to show how big of a deal the breakthrough was for their new stabilizer. I love what Army Painter stands for and how they operate. Admittedly, I've gone to other paints, but now I'm unbelievably thrilled to get my hands on their new range. To hear so many reviews overwhelmingly say "this is fun!" Brings joy to my heart.

So many people are trying to cultivate things out to focus groups, one thing I respect a lot and why Army Painter has become a go to for me is because they put their product in peoples hands that they want to buy their product. From beginners at the more casual shows and booths to professional painters. Who would be better to get the approval of than your own audience before you put something on sale? Kudos to all at the Army Painter

The army painter has always felt legit and genuine when it comes to this hobby. Our passion is their passion 💙 bravo team, 👏🏻 terrific work!!

True to their word, they even aired some negatives. Bravo AP.

I have said it in the past but, I love how you guys do marketing, and how much you care about the product, the community and the hobby. Well done.

Imagine if more companies (of any industry) were this transparent and upfront about their products. Army Painter is a brand I can be proud of supporting

I have the original mega set, and the airpaints mega set, and some speed paint 1.0. The dedication to the hobby, feedback, and community outreach of Army Painter means I'll be upgrading and sticking with them. Can't wait to see the new paints!

Thanks for the invite, was great to take part in this.

I won't lie, your brand is not the first I reach for at the hobby shop, but everything you're doing is making me reconsider. Really well thought out product development and marketing. Kudos.

As a newbie, who started with a few pro acryl and AP SpeedPaints 1.0, I am tempted to to also preorder the full set just because of how impressed I was with the colors of the speed paints and how well they airbrush over. Given the cost of it, i'd be curious what people like you choose in the longrun when you have all 3 on your desk. Do you have a IG/channel to follow?

Really looking forward to the Fanatic paints. I think if one owns the V2 Speedpaints and the Fanatic range, youre set up for life. Thx armypainter!

Major kudos to you guys for accepting criticism and approving your products.

What a great time it was! Lasse must have like 4 hours of video of the sweeds painting that he cant use because of all the S talk :D Not about the paints but just being horrible to each other. Good fun it was

Got the mega set pre ordered and I can’t wait to get stuck in with these 😎👌

Ok you got me, I was hesitating for a month or so, I took the mega paint set. See you in March for the test haha

I've used GW paints my entire life. The idea of these new paints really excite me. The old GW crafting tool used instead of a hobby knife. It's become a tool to get paint out of the lid caps. I love all the content you have put out on these 2.0 paints. I put a lot of effort behind keeping and growing the local community. I'm always showing people how to paint better or painting models for them. I'm the guy with parkinsons and if I can make it look this good. Just think what you could do. It's what I tell everyone. I offer to help them learn as well as providing positive feedback. I used to play BattleTech until the model scales became so out off control. I moved on to 40k until fine cast (enough said). Now I'm made the full circle and came back to BattleTech. Bringing Anthony Scroggins on helped a lot. I'm all about scale. Trust me when I say people notice (elementals). I wish there was a way you could see just how much someone like me makes a difference. I plan on buying your complete line of paints but with my surgeries . I have my paint table a fold out coffee table, gw paints, army painter brushes , and an army painter wet pallet. BattleTech models on top of all of it. It's quite the spectacle. I wish I could share a photo of it

I bought the mega set after watching all the reviews. And I have to say, not only do I love these paints, but I think that they have helped to improve my painting skills overall because of how smooth and consistent the whole range is. Awesome company, awesome work and thank you 🙏🏼

I've got my fanatic set and my XL wet palette pre-ordered! I can't wait!

Well done TAP, very excited to try them out myself.

Such a cool company, so excited to give these paints a whirl and just have some fun!!!🎨

I just want to comment about how much I value Army Painter's continuous improvement and pushing the quality of its products higher to compete on the market. I can see how much time and effort Army Painter really put into trying to put out a good product and I have thoroughly enjoyed supporting Army Painter as I paint more and more minis. For me, I have purchased both the Speed paint line and a mega paint set of the fanatic range, and I am happy to know that although I may never be a competition level painter; that the products I use are of good quality made by a company that is committed to good pricing, and clear about it's processes with the consumer. So long as Army Painter continues to support the average hobbyist like me, I will support them.

Pre-ordered the complete set through my LGS! Absolutely can't wait to get these paints in March! I use the Warpaints Air and Speedpaint 2.0 paints for all of my miniatures and am looking forward to adding these into the mix. The paints I am looking forward to the most are Cobalt Metal and the Dark Blue Tone wash, as I think they will go great for my Alpha Legion!

I love that The Army Painter is showing their process of sharing these new paints in these recent videos. I was one of the people who was not very impressed by the old line, however, I am very excited for fanatic to come out. Also, they just seem like a good company who cares about their customers opinions. And thank you for keeping your prices reasonable as well! Keep up the good work!!

Amazing video and comments, love the way you are making your marketing and super commitement to your client, thanks for this

Have the Mega set on preorder… literally cannot wait to start using them. They look fantastic

From what I heard and seen these paints look amazing and I've always been a big fan of army painter products I use the speed paints and wet pallete ext. It would be a dream to able to try these

God help me, I've preordered the Complete set.

Superb reviews by some of the top painters.....you have sold me on them

9:29 Magnus Fagerberg is ridiculously talented. His "messing around" paint job look like something that would have taken days to complete. 14:24 Roman Lappat is also an amazing artist, his came out great.

I cant wait for these paints to arrive. I only started my painting hoby in Jan this year using the speed paints 2.0 most wanted set and have now just pre ordered the Warpaints Fanatic: Mega Set - Combo today. Let to painting adventure begin.

I appreciate the video, and the work towards the perfection of the craft

Nice job Army Painter -- you've gone to great lengths to get feedback and it's very clear high end painters are happy with the new line. Exciting stuff!

So admire the passion going into this project and can’t wait to test them out!

I have no comments that would suffice for my respect for you as a company but I'm gonna try. Being able to admit to faults and criticism is rare and doing something about it is even more rare. I started miniature painting using your products and have continued to champion them throughout my hobby. Between your Air, SpeedPaints 2.0 and now Fanatics, I can honestly say that you guys should be VERY proud of how you have completely redeveloped your line, brand, and image in roughly 3 years. You should be proud and know that we hobbyists are rooting for you!

Have mine Pre Ordered. Great to see you getting these legends opinions.

I cannot wait......Right Bo , thomas and crew. Dont make me get a plane over pre orders are in i expect shipping to start tomorrrow lol.

I love these videos and appreciate AP for displaying the dedication to their product and customers. Im a big fan of speedpaints as they cover better than any other paint like it. Im looking forward to the new range to see how they fit my style.

Great job all at AP, I think you are going to end up with a very strong lineup of products that hobbyists love! Might need to check out Air Paints next :D

I have never has an issue with the OG Warpaints & they did what they needed to do... Paint armies. I have have done WW2 Germans & American, TYW Swedish & HRE, all painted to table top standard without issues. Although I do not need to replace any of my OG Warpaints at the moment I look forwarded to try the Fanatic series in the future.

I’m so excited to get the complete set. I have a whole new section of wall set up. 😅

I can't just goto the shop and say, "oh! I want that colour" I need to try it out to and see it. I am REALLY looking forward to trying out the Triad system and having such a wide array to choose from! Just such a shame there's still 2 and a half months before release! :( But that give me plenty of time to print a lot of models to get ready for some long painting sessions! :)

@TheArmyPainter

What Roman was saying is that the white gets overpowered easily when used to mix paints. This is due to the saturation of pigment in the colours. But the white has received the same treatment: more pigment, Stabilizer, improved coverage and consistency, just be prepared to use more white when mixing or try the lighter how from the Triad ;)

Just got started on trying to custom paint my necrons. Have never really done anything beyone normal silver and green before but I'm currently waiting on the speedpaints 2.0 box to arrive. Does anyone have tips on how to do either an ice material or a porcelain white?

Watching this I have only one question.. just what does acrylic paint taste like anyway?

What flavour are they?

Pre-ordered the Fanatic Complete set yesterday, can't wait to to start paiting!

Dying to test them out. Many good reviews and I'm considering replacing my entire setup with them if it's all true!

My biggest thing is hoping the yellows go on good. Right now, any brand I try, yellow is so difficult. Some blues too. But every demo I see that uses the yellow, it looks like it goes on so good. And my biggest wonder is how the whites work. Every white I use, again, across all brands, seems to be really chalky and I'm hoping Fanatic isn't like that.

😂 stop tormenting us! 😂 Actually it’ll give me time to save the money I’ll need for a good selection!

Is there anyway you can make the paints a little less thick, so all of the paints i notice need to be thinned considerably and definitely not ready out of the pot. The vallejo metal colors seem to have a better shine, consistency than your metals do. I appreciate the changes to the army paints, and it looks alot better, but the amount of work to get them to have a good flow, is a detterent to me. Mainly for the metal paints, but others too. Some of the effect paint, like the two rust colors look a little off to me, but ill play around with them first. I think when you do things like this, you could get average painters too, rather than getting only pro painters. The majority of us are just hobbyists. Not complaining, it's early and they look so much better than previous paints. I dont know if ill use them over monument pro acrylic but its a good endeavor, and ill at least try them

The Matt white has always been an excelent paint, and with the Fanatic recipe, it just got better. What Roman means, is that because the other paints are so highly pigmented, that it takes more white paint to mix the paints lighter. That doesn't take anything away from the white though. That being said, if we find a reason to change something, you can be sure that we will look into it :)
