I don’t have many paints and am very tempted by this set. I think it would keep me from second guessing myself if I have it could blend the exact shade I want. Very tempting… I am the type of person who overthinks and has trouble moving on to the actual ‘doing’. This seems interesting to just have a full selection of colours, effects, washes, metallics, etc within arms’ reach. Just ensconce myself at my hobby table downstairs for long chunks of time… something to put on my ‘indulgence’ wish list as a reward if I accomplish some other goals on my list…
I can vouch for AP customer service. I had ordered a brush set from them once and one came very messed up. I sent an email and had a replacement for the brush in 4 days, i was outright impressed
Don, I hope you had a nice time in Japan. I know the original AP Warpaints had some issues with coverage, but I'm hearing these are a HUGE improvement. Looking forward to seeing what you do with these paints!
This is an honest/truth review made by Don about the six colour triad. To me Six colour triads is “neat” but I only ever use three: darkest, brightest, and mid. subtle variants just get lost or aren’t noticeable… but I’d love to have everything. 😊
Thats cool! Now to see you using them on minis. Heard a lot of good things about these.. lots of hype, really want to see how well they actually cover etc.
I 'preordered' this set yesterday with my local hobby shop. Altho I still have the full warpaints 1.0 range, these colors look to be very promising. I guess ill be using the older versions for basing only :p
@@DonSuratos haha, I can't wait to get my hands on the new fanatic line. Though I'm still split on whether I should get the mega or go all in with the complete set
Happy that you get full set! Can't wait for more movies and coverage tests. Wouldn't mind receiving one... even slightly used 😅 Wouldn't mind also a movie about your tanks! I'm wondering how many of us, painters have aquariums as well.
I would drop the first or last color of each ‘triad’ to get an odd 5, and use just the first middle and last paints. Gets nice contrast. The first and last two paints of each triad are pretty similar anyway.
Hey Don, Have you tried them for glazing? Everything about them appears to be awesome but I haven't heard much in relation to how they react to thinning with water and glazing.
This is a Hexad since it is 6 colors. (Hexagons are the bestagons). How could Army Painter not use such a cool word in their marketing. "Our Hexad system gives a flexible triad of colors for base, shadow and highlight as well as layering".
an idea, try mixing speedpaints metallic with speedpaints non metallic. we all know that metallics can be mixed with solid color for normal acrylics but speedpaints? i wanna see that tested
@@DonSuratos I was more thinking match the quality of the new paints. I have heard that the speedpaints doesn’t work well with airbrush primers - and that generally the AP airbrush primer is not very good.
@@RyanF1313 the Airbrush primers has been fixed, so they work very well now :) We are always improving on our product line, so if something isn't working, I can promise you that we are looking into it :) Regarding the air primers vs Speedpaint, they do work, but because of the way Speedpaints works, they will always work best on as smooth a surface as possible, and the spray primer is just a better surface for that * the nature of the beast ;) /Thomas from TAP
i want to buy the mega set, do u recomend it? or is better to try some vallejo sets? i only used vallejo model color and metal so far and thoose are great..tyvm!
Hi Don I have the new Vallejo game range and I don’t like it. Always has bubbles in the paint and when I paint a miniature it causes bubbles to form. Did you have the same issue with new Vallejo Game Color and Xpress?
Hi! sir don :) mag ask lng po sana ng opinion nyo. I have a resin figure, a naturo. Some of the hands have cheap paint. mostly sa skin, hands and skin tone ang kulay kaya po ba ng warpaints? if kaya mag avail po ako.
They are designed for beginners and advance painters to mix less. Each colors are unique. But OF COURSE you can mix the whole day and make 90 colors out of 3 paints. 😅🎨🎨🎨
@david This isn't even a review at all. It was a preview at what's coming out and going on sale next month. You think he's only supposed to show these after they're available to the public? These paints are not coming out in June of 2024. Cmon
I can't wait for a full test of the paint coverage. Triad system seems really rich and interesting.
Me too! Great coverage is extra good for tiny details. Agree with the Triad system, very well designed! 😊🎨🎨🎨

This is a very well designed set. Army Painter did a great job here. 😊
I really enjoyed this video - Thanks Don! (Thomas from The Army Painter)
The Thomas! Great job with the Triad design and color selection man! For sure will wake up early to paint tomorrow! 😊🎨🎨🎨
Awesome video love this channel I have learned a lot about painting thank you for the unboxing!
Oh thanks! Glad you love the channel! 😊🎨🎨🎨
What a treat getting all those new paints so early! From what they have shown, they seem very high quality... Great video as usual Don 👍
Even the bottles feel more expensive bro. Will see tomorrow. 😊
I can vouch for AP customer service. I had ordered a brush set from them once and one came very messed up. I sent an email and had a replacement for the brush in 4 days, i was outright impressed

Yes we had a blast at Japan! A modeler’s haven! Will have plenty of videos with these paints soon! Thanks! 😊🎨🎨🎨
Can't wait too.
I have started to spare money as soon I've know this set will be aviable.
These seem worth the wait and money. Will make a ton of videos and have them very soon! 😊🎨🎨🎨

Cheers from Gatineau, Canada. Yannick from Bunker 45 sent me your way.
Hi bro! 😊🎨🎨🎨
Woah! hopefully they can ship it here in the Philippines too! excited for your videos on this sir!
Hey Kabayan! I think Army Painter ships to us from their website. 😊
Awesome review, will be happy to see your work with those new tools :)
Thank you! Very excited to show my painting with these next year! 😊🎨🎨🎨
That regimental brush is amazing
Oh nice! Trying to get used to it now bro. 😊
Very interesting, can’t wait to try and few and see what the coverage is like
Trying today! So excited! 😊🎨🎨🎨
Let me know if the fanatic paints have bubbles when you place paint on pallet and move your brush around in the paint and on mini. :)
@@OldManb1981Zero Bubbles. What paints produces bubbles? 🤔
Thats cool! Now to see you using them on minis. Heard a lot of good things about these.. lots of hype, really want to see how well they actually cover etc.
Been painting with these for a few hours now. The coverage is… hmmm… CRAZY! 😅 Crazy not normal good. 😀🎨🎨🎨
I 'preordered' this set yesterday with my local hobby shop. Altho I still have the full warpaints 1.0 range, these colors look to be very promising. I guess ill be using the older versions for basing only :p
I only have a few Warpaints, mostly from the very old Zombicide sets! I like AP’s color designs. 😊
Dude. I am so envious that you have the fanatic complete set.
On that note, my speedpaint complete set just arrived
Oh man! Enjoy your Speedpaints! They are awesome! 😊🎨🎨🎨
@@DonSuratos haha, I can't wait to get my hands on the new fanatic line. Though I'm still split on whether I should get the mega or go all in with the complete set
@@greychiefThe Mega always gives the “most wanted” colors. But the complete set always has gems of “underrated “ colors. Hard choice man. 😊
Happy that you get full set! Can't wait for more movies and coverage tests.
Wouldn't mind receiving one... even slightly used 😅
Wouldn't mind also a movie about your tanks! I'm wondering how many of us, painters have aquariums as well.
Will have a ton of videos very soon! Ahhh… my tanks! Need to make a new channel for those. 😊
wish there was someone in the philippines that carry these! damn they look nice.
I buy my smaller Army Painter sets at GeekBoxPH bro. 😊
Hi Don will you release a video of moving paint with a brush on a wet pallet and painting a mini? :)
Yes will do! A ton of videos coming next year. 😊🎨🎨🎨
Would also be really interesting to see these through the airbrush!
Ahhhh… I get bored with airbrushing, but will try sooner than later. Great idea man! 😊
Very curious about this too. Would love to know if they work well. 🤞
I would drop the first or last color of each ‘triad’ to get an odd 5, and use just the first middle and last paints. Gets nice contrast. The first and last two paints of each triad are pretty similar anyway.
Makes sense. But you do get a smoother layering by using all the colors… and more.
@@DonSuratos yes, for more advanced painters thats great. Three is better for people like me, preferring a nearly cartoonish style with high contrast
Hey Don,
Have you tried them for glazing? Everything about them appears to be awesome but I haven't heard much in relation to how they react to thinning with water and glazing.
Trying at the moment… will share my thoughts soon! 😊
@@DonSuratos thanks Don and Merry Xmas to you and your family.
Maggot skin is such a cool colour ;-)
Hey man! I apologize I uploaded this video earlier than I should. 😣 But yes! Maggot skin rocks! 😊🎨🎨🎨
Is the point of 6-color triad that you can start your base from 4 different points and know exactly what tone and highlight comes next?
Yes… depends on the method on how you want to paint. Explained it better in my next video later. And will try to explain further in my next video. 😊
Can't wait...sadly my budget is pretty tight, I would love to just blindly buy the whole paintline :D
Army Painter will have smaller sets soon I think. 😊
Do they have a release date for this yet?
Next month? Definitely first quarter next year I think. Not sure though. 😊
This is a Hexad since it is 6 colors. (Hexagons are the bestagons). How could Army Painter not use such a cool word in their marketing. "Our Hexad system gives a flexible triad of colors for base, shadow and highlight as well as layering".
Haha! Reason why I broke it to 3 groups to form a traditional Triad. 😊
an idea, try mixing speedpaints metallic with speedpaints non metallic. we all know that metallics can be mixed with solid color for normal acrylics but speedpaints? i wanna see that tested
Cool idea man! Will try soon! But have to test these Fanatics first! 😊
Great stuff friend 👏 👍
Thanks bro! 😊
that's a heavy box right there! ;-)
Super heavy man! Oh and I apologize as I uploaded this video earlier than I should. Got too excited. 😣
@@DonSuratos hahaha I don't mind! Now get back to painting! :-)
@GoobertownHobbies Thanks Brent! Testing them now! 😊🎨🎨🎨
Just looked upi this set Don. You are lucky you got it free, it will cost us scrubs £550.
The paints seem like they cost a lot! Very well designed colors I think. 😊
Triangular/White Handle brushes are Natural fur, but not a sable.
Oh I see… it works well so far. Kinda softer than sable, but works fine to me. Thanks for the info! 😊
They are actually Rotmarder Sable ;)
@TheArmyPainter No wonder they feel and work like Sable! Thanks for the info AP! Happy New Year! 🎊
Will Army Painter make new airbrush primers to match the new warpaint and 2.0 speedpaint paints?
I think Army Painter said, the main colors still match the old primers. Not sure though. 😊
@@DonSuratos I was more thinking match the quality of the new paints. I have heard that the speedpaints doesn’t work well with airbrush primers - and that generally the AP airbrush primer is not very good.

Time to sell my kidney for new paints. 😆
Bahahahahahahahaha! 😅😂🤣
So. Cool.

omg its amazing!
It is man! 💙🎨🎨🎨
i want to buy the mega set, do u recomend it? or is better to try some vallejo sets? i only used vallejo model color and metal so far and thoose are great..tyvm!
Mega sets are almost always the perfect Army Painter set. I cannot recommend yet though, as I have to try these paints first. Cheers! 😊
@@DonSuratos ty!!! yea i hope u try em and let us know on a video! !!
Really cool🖌
Super man! Super cool! 😊🎨🎨🎨
🔴 Warpaints FANATIC When & How Much 👉🏼 ruclips.net/video/gtKAC_QBoMk/видео.htmlsi=ylMNH7_2tORtoP5B
The problem with this set is it puts me in a pickle with what to do with all my GW paints ha ha
Now that is a problem. 😅🎨🎨🎨
How much will it be??
I have zero idea, sorry. 😊
Does it have mixing balls?
Yes it does! I am actually not used to paint bottles with free balls. Cool stuff. 😊
Hi Don I have the new Vallejo game range and I don’t like it. Always has bubbles in the paint and when I paint a miniature it causes bubbles to form. Did you have the same issue with new Vallejo Game Color and Xpress?
I did not experience any bubbles. But not a fan specially of the Xpress Colors. I think you saw me throw them in a bag in this video. 😅
What do you feel you didn’t like about Xpress paints. I’m on the fence between getting speed paint or use Xpress paints. I’m just curious
Hi! sir don :) mag ask lng po sana ng opinion nyo. I have a resin figure, a naturo. Some of the hands have cheap paint. mostly sa skin, hands and skin tone ang kulay kaya po ba ng warpaints? if kaya mag avail po ako.
Warpaints won’t be available until next year bro. 😊
how can there be SIX colors in a "triad"? Surely there should be THREE colors in a triad? :P
Actually! Hahaha! Noticed how I kinda struggled explaining it. But very good color design choices, I must say. 😊🎨🎨🎨
I notice the darkest of the Deep Green-Blues is actually marked up as Deep Blue-Green ... oopsie lol
Dibs plasma coil
Haha! 😅🎨🎨🎨
All your vids nake me happy if thats a lie please slap me , a new clasi. Like game of thones, but still old school like syvester stallon.
Thanks! 🎨🎨🎨
How can you say those colors aren't redundant? It's 6 colors trying to do what 3 can do
They are designed for beginners and advance painters to mix less. Each colors are unique. But OF COURSE you can mix the whole day and make 90 colors out of 3 paints. 😅🎨🎨🎨
Don't know why the review is so early - we won't see the paints in shop for another 6 mths - we'll have forgotten about it by then.
Oh… such a short memory man. 😊
@david This isn't even a review at all. It was a preview at what's coming out and going on sale next month.

@@edgfigueroa My comment is more about the manufactures showcasing products so far in advance of when they are actually being made available.
I thought eh middle color was the layer… Now I am confused
Yes… you have two middle colors.
