Yes 100% I love mini painting and am very colourblind (pretty severe protan also). So I often just want to know what the colour actually is and it's a huge bonus to be able to see easily which colours are prematched as highlights/shades. War colours does this nicely but I don't like the gel medium. This seems promising and I really hope Vallejo goes this way too

I love how thoughtful you are about the realities of the average hobby painter.

Completely agree with you on your thoughts about starter sets, it can be so intimidating for people who are interested in minis to go into a shop and see the thousands of paint shades and such like. Little starter sets with a brush and minis is fantastic. I hope that manufacturers take note and make more starter kits with paints that are true single pigments so they can be mixed true. Having blue and yellow mix to a weird green grey can also be really baffling for newbies who know nothing of paint base pigments. Thanks for bringing this up Brent, as ever, you are an inspiration!

@GoobertownHobbies

3 ай бұрын

right on! I think a lot of paints will at least need to have white as a second pigment for opacity, but yeah, I wish mixing ability was closer to what we get taught in elementary art classes. If they swapped the ultramarine blue for something closer to a pseudo primary like "~magic blue" it'd be a better color wheel. Still, not bad, not bad 🙂

It's not exclusively daunting for new painters only.... 🙂

Some notes on colour mixing. Our eyes have receptors for red, green, and blue (each receptor being sensitive to a certain wavelength of light). But paint is reflective so when light hits it reflects certain wavelengths and absorbs others. Red, green, and blue are the primary colors if you have a source of light (like a monitor). Paint doesn't emit light so there the primary colors are actually magenta, cyan, and yellow. So mixing red and blue paint doesn't make a good purple as you're mixing secondary colors together (red being magenta + yellow and blue being magenta + cyan). Incidentally, this is also how printers work (the whole CMYK thing). For purple, you should go something like three parts magenta and two parts cyan. And yes, we were all lied to in elementary school about colors and paint. So for a starter paint set where you would be expected to mix paint, the set of colors should be a rather strange one (as cyan and magenta are way more rarely used than red and blue). So I understand why Army Painter didn't go this route.

@GoobertownHobbies

3 ай бұрын

yupyup! without mixing, cyan and magenta are waaaaay less useful to most people than blue and red, so it makes sense why the company went with "pseudo primaries"... but even so, the choice of blue hue wasn't great... Someday a brave mini painting company will launch a starter box with CMYK :-)

I always used to recommend the reaper starter sets but you had to get both of them to get all the paints you need to begin with. I am going to start recommending this set as it gives you all the colours you need. One box gives you the paints, primer, brush and mini.

This is how I will be dipping my Toes in the Fanatic waters for sure. Excellent changes from a receptive company trying to do it right. ❤

I've used Gundam fine markers, for blacklining. Or eyes. A brown fine marker works well for lettering.

Really excited for these boxes to finally come out. I pre-ordered the complete set at my FLGS and justified it by donating all of my current paints (probably around 200) to a Warhammer youth league. Now I can trick myself into framing buying the full set as a charitable donation 😅

Your comment about not needing tons of shades rings true, it reminds me of Midwinter Minis Blackstone Fortress videos, which achieved amazing results with just 14 paints (and Guy is color blind, too!). The one thing though, for novices mixing paints can be a daunting task (I mean, not just mixing randomly but achieving the intended results). Even for veterans, it's nice to have the shades premixed, I always dread having to mix the same color again and not getting it quite right...

I, personally, started in the hobby with the AP warpaints starter set - similar to the one tested here (flesh as opposed to gold is the most notable change). Too many of that set were plain awful for a new painter to try to use and I spent so long struggling with them that I didn't build any confidence until I started using other brands, and once that confidence took off I was able to experiment with techniques & processes. To this day the Ultramarine Blue is the worst paint I've ever had the misfortune to use.

the retirement of the old army painter warpaints is going to raise the average experience of new painters by a lot! Finally we're at a point where most of the paints on the market are actually pretty dang good, and it's easier than ever to get folks started off right! Interesting about the gold flesh substitution, of all the colors in here, gold is probably the least important.

As a beginner, the new descriptive labels are HUGE! I borrowed the old version of Army Painter paints before and was turned off to the brand. Seeing these labels and the quality of these paints has made me want to go out and try the new paints!

YOUR THE REASON FOR PRACTICAL NAMES?!! i noticed that on the new speed paints as well and its such a great thing, i got the "game master" starter set because it was a great deal, but the 12 ml bottles only go so far and all of the names are unique even though the paints are identical to the standard range, id much rather a consistent naming in fine print, then they can wild otherwise with the craziest names possible
