    John Blanche taught me how to paint back in 88, he used to go to the stores sometimes and you could just sit at a table and paint a selection of models, John would just give you advice and show you techniques to try, he was this huge biker guy with a Denim jacket with the sleeves cut off back then, and gotta admit he also influenced my dress sense ever since meeting him, I painted an old le1 Metal Power Armour trooper with an integrated backpack, still got it in my cabinet, John taught me to use Sepia washes even back then, and its still a staple of my painting style, I met him a couple of times, and he has to be one of the most down to earth and friendliest guys ever, I really don't think he ever realises how much of an absolute Rockstar he is among the old GW fans.

    While the video was great to see most of the colors in action, and the boxes look phenomenal, on a purely personal and selfish basis the greatest news for me was something I didn't know up to this point, that singles will be available later. I paint primarily using speedpaints and washes, with few rare exceptions for highlights (for metallics, like you do!, for example), so I was bummed about having to decide on whether purchase 2 boxes to get my hands on 4 or 5 bottles I'd use or just skip the whole thing. Thanks for having the initiative to ask them about dates and all, that's what I'm saying-it may seem like a passing comment, but it shows you actually care for what your viewers think of in real life, rather than just mindlessly pumping up whoever sent you some freebies. Keep up the good work man, thanks a lot! :D :D :D

    • @Anjohl

    After leaving the GW range for good, I've always been a Vallejo user... Later on, I moved to Warcolors that, to me, represent the perfect color range for quality and price currently available. Secret Weapons Miniatures will also have a special place in my heart, of course... However, I've also always included Army Painter colors in my works because I thought they were pretty good mixes even when they had the extra soup everybody hated. Don't know if it's common knowledge but Monument Hobbies (Jason) was using them heavily prior to making his own line so that's a great validation point for AP!
    Finally people realized the quality and the brand is growing a lot... and you are surely contributing to that growth. It's very good news if you ask me 👍🏻

  • @rrmonroe
    @rrmonroe Месяц назад +4

    This set of paints looks fantastic! I'm especially interested in the new metallics. Heavy Metal looks like something I've been wanting for a while, but I've been getting by covering a bright silver with black or dark gray SpeedPaint.
    And that tip for the unifying wash and how you got his pale face is definitely going into the arsenal.

    Glad so many paint companies are embracing dark "realistic" colors. In the past Ive found myself having to mix my Citadel paints with black or gray to desaturate them and steer them away from being bright colors that most mini paints were back in the day (until I found the Vallejo military colors). Im very excited for these sets.

    I know absolutely nothing about Warhammer, very little actually, I started watching videos of the lore, some video game gameplays. I played 'Mechanicus' a while ago and this week I finished the last campaign of 'Battlesector' since a stranger on the internet recommended that game to me, saying that it was quite similar to a game. I don't understand how I never came across this universe, these stories, these characters. I saw the animated episode of 'Secret level' and it blew my mind.
    For reference, I know a lot about Fallout, I played all the games (even 76), I have board games, figures. I'm also a fan and the same thing happens to me with STALKER.
    I see that the three franchises share the fact of power armor or exoskeletons, the hostile and constantly warring universe, the factions, the military section and so many other factors that interest me and draw my attention a lot. Besides this, I am an illustrator, it started as a kid as just a hobby of drawing characters, and the fact that Warhammer involves art, not only its designs and artistic direction, but also the public, its fans; I find it crazy, it is something enviable, the commitment of each person to build their army, put it together with their hands, paint it in the best way possible and also customize it, there are no two figures alike even if they are inspired by the same thing. It is fucking incredible and I admire you.
    You who are probably wise teachers (that's why I'm targeting a John Blanche video, I'm looking for you, wise old fans, lol), what works, books or comics would you recommend to me? What games do you think are the best? And if you had to start over with the figures, how would you start? What would you build? I would like you to recommend things to me as if it were a friend you were introducing to the universe, I would be eternally grateful.

    • @digitalnomad6286
      @digitalnomad6286 24 дня назад

      One more detail, after having played 'Battlesector', the Blood Angels seem great to me, the red servos are spectacular and the fact of the curse, the thirst for blood and how ruthless they can be. I would love to 3D print a figure of about 15 or 20 cm for my desk and repaint it.

  • @Gage_Welch
    @Gage_Welch Месяц назад

    As someone who bought the entire fanatic range to replace my odd paints here & there, I feel like all of these paints really do fill in voids of the fanatic line.
    A common complaint I saw & agree with is the lack of actual dark paints. I’ve remedied this via a universal shadow (hello payne’s grey), but so many of these colours fit right into the line. That red was so vibrant & gorgeous, the sunburnt orange was really fantastic, the darker grey was also really needed as the jump from their darkest grey to black was way too much. I’m also impressed with the speedpaints & both washes… great, now I want both!

He has lots of vibrant red and yellow set against the darker colors, which you really reflected, love it.

    @adifferentangle7064 Месяц назад

    I'm a huge sucker for decent reds and yellows.
    However what may be the thing that inspires me to get these sets is the flesh wash.
    I started collecting warhammer in 1998. Flesh wash went over everything. It was the single most used non base paint i had, and i actually used it all up, at which point Citadel had completely overhauled their paints and nothing was exactly like that flesh wash.
    So i haven't used a flesh wash for over a decade, but that looks exactly like what I was missing.

    I like John Blanches artwork and atyle a lot. Personally i tend to paint more vibrantly, however, his use of color and light has always been impressive and interesting. I dont see myself picking up any of the yhe paints as iI tend to enjoy a more limited palette and I mix and blend my colors to get the results i want for my paint jobs as that for ke makes the end result feel more cohesive. I am happy to see that this is available for those that do want to use them and try them out though. It seems like the oerfect fit for painters who want that classic grimdark nostalgic feel.

    Looks great. Just a pointer, despite how they definitely look that way, those are not nunchucks, they are purity seal paper rolled up like a scroll with metal attched to the bottom and top (look at old catholic scrolls or jewish torah scrolls and youll see what u mean. They have wood or metal handles at the end)
    I thought the same painting old grey knigyt finecast models but figured out it was paper eventually. Sometimes theres even a wax purity seal on them.

    The triads are now seven :3 Seriously, this is great news. The army painter range was really weak on very dark colors. I end up having to mix black into a lot of different colors all the time. I mix 1:1 black + deep grey pretty much every time I paint for a proper dark grey. I wonder what is the difference between the old neutral wash (dark tone, I think) and the new grimdark shadow.
