@@TrazynnThat is less helpful for colorblind individuals. I need to understand where the color actually lands from a technical perspective since I can’t trust my eyes. Putting the color & gradient on the label is honestly making me consider picking this up by itself
Love the naming on the bottles. It’s so sorely needed in the mini painting space. Artists have a common language they can use when it comes to paint names (cadmium red, burnt umber, phthalo blue etc.) while we’re stuck with daft fantasy/sci-fi names. I see so many new painters asking ‘what paints do I need to paint this model?’ The answer should be simple. Look at the model and select the colours you see ie. Dark red, light green, etc. ProAcyril has been pretty good with this, now with AP hopefully we’ll see more brands do similar.
That's not entirely true about the naming conventions though. It is somewhat true when they are aimed at Fantasy/Sci-Fi painters, but if you look at the Vallejo Model Colour/Panzer Aces range, the MIG colours, even the old Tamiya range you get "Nato black-grey", "Japanese uniform", "RAF mid sea grey" etc straight out of the bottle because they are trying to replicate something from real life. The colour triads thing isnt new either - Reaper used to do it, foundry did too, and it's common in "modulation effect" airbrush paints for planes and tanks. Not throwing shade at all - even though I mostly paint things in shades of brown and green and I have no use for glowing nuclear vomit effects I'll be trying out lots of stuff from this range.
As someone who is colorblind, the label thing is great. I'm not going to have to have my wife describe what kind of color she thinks 'clouded sea' is supposed to be for me anymore.
DUDE SAME. Thank you. My wife has to be so involved with my paint selection. Also love when painting tutorials tell exactly what army painter/citadel they used, it’s so essential for me.
I also lean on my wife (whos an actual artist) for these things, "sayin hey pick out the colors i'm going to need to get this effect, pls" I kinda doubt the little color bar is going to help a lot tho cause of...tone? Some hues already look the same to me but if some hues that i can normal tell apart have the same tone i can be blind to that as well.
I grew up in the states, and now back home in Denmark. Been hobbying for years and only discovered in the last 3 years they are a Danish company, I've talked to other Danes that have been in the hobby here locally for decades and they never knew til I mentioned it. Danish Design, & Legos are known the world over, for amazing quality, production, & attention to detail. It seems The Army Painter is also committed to these Danish Ideals, not only rapid iteration of their products, but seem to engage and listen to the hobby community. Pretty awesome!
I could see myself maybe trying out some of the effects paints, the extra flavor crystals is an interesting concept. I also like that they have fresh and old versions of a lot of them (especially the blood and rust). It's nice to see AP really taking a big swing at upping their game. Will definitely be interesting to see what the wider reaction to these are once they're in the wild.
Wow Adam this looks great! You can almost see how excited you are during this video talking of these now paints. It's real nice you got the chance to preview this new paint range.
This exactly the kind of product I want. Just a comprehensive collection of any paint I could need. No decision paralysis over which paints to buy or what scheme would work with my paints just freedom
The info opn the labels is enough for me to buy it as a colour blind person. Whilst vallejo ranges are mostly easy enough to work out, I struggle with colour hues in terms of building up colour - layers, highlights etc. These bottles look like they'll solve a lot of my issues.. Hate the current range of AP paints but this looks great.
Outstanding overview, really looking forward to seeing more of the effect paints, and the new labelling package is interesting and a great move forward
I've tried three of the new fanatics and they have great coverage. Please note that several of the AP colored metallics, which are my favorites, are being discontinued. It's worth stocking up. (elven armor etc.)
I'm a Vallejo guy, currently, as I still have lots of their paints left from when I built scale models. But I can see myself slowly replacing VMC colors with these ones here, or buying colours I don't have (yet). If they're as good or better than, say, AK 3rd Gen (of which I have but a few), and with better availability, it's a no-brainer! Certainly the effects and washes that you demonstrated here are worth it because they look excellent! Can't wait.
Why would you replace Vallejo? Their Game Color line I assume? Their Model Color line is unmatched for realistic colors, I don't think even these Army Painter new ones can match it. For fantasy, sure... I'm experimenting with speedpaints myself.
@@theandf I'm replacing Vallejo with Army Painter. Ive used Vallejo since I moved country & had to rebuy everything. Im not impressed at all. They are dull & very easily get over diluted on wet pallete. Im going back to Army Painter, their colours are brighter & so don't turn to grey with washes. Maybe everyone just has a preference, I found citadel pretty good but I hate the pots so much.
@@theandf I use Model Color, not Game Color, and yes, their range is excellent in terms of realism. But I find their color swatches (pdf, website) quite "off" a lot of the times, so finding the right color is very often hit and miss! AP's triad system seems quite promising in that regard.
@@revylokesh1783 thanks for the reply. I love Model Color but I agree about the swatches. Actually this is currently a problem for me with Speed Paints 2.0: I cannot get the hang of the colors. The paint looks different to the label on the pot. Some RUclipsrs like Dana Howl resort to painting the caps of the bottles as a reminder, but it seems wasteful, plus I'm lazy.
Availability is such a huge factor for me. Every store near me has AP stuff so if some single colors on the rack are missing I can hop around a few locations trying to track it down. Only two stores in like 100km of me carries pro-acryl on the other hand. I really like pro-acryl but it's not easy for me to get. Vallejo is more prevalent for me but their range is so utterly massive between their air lines, metal colour, game colour, model colour, FX paints, and primers that the odds of a store having all the racks and also have them have stock is low. Either way, I'm not a paint loyalist. I'll prime in pro-acryl, layer with vallejo, use a GW contrast for hair, wash with AP, and use AK for effects after.
They still got it wrong, but at least they didn't fall into the stereotyped "radiation glows green" myth -- that's the result of conflating the color of the _phosphor_ in radium dials with glow emitted directly from the radioactive elements; if you do an image search for "water pool reactor", you'll see that the radiation coming off the reactor core is a turquoise glow, not a green one. Fortunately, the 'plasma glow' color covers that.
OMG! THANK YOU Army painter!! About time someone labled the bottles with a little more info! I LOVE it! I was going to go out and buy a lot of paint and replenish my supplies... But I'll think I'll wait and pre ordering this set! :D
This Army Painter evolution has made me want to buy their entire line from Air paint to Speed Paint 2.0. I love the different color caps on the bottles to separate the ranges.
Their Air Paint line is my absolutely favorite, and Speed Paint 2.0 is untouchable. They're the only thing I buy now, except for my precious Vallejo Model Color, and a few AK paints.
From the reviews I've seen on the new Warpaints: Fanatic line I am planning on ordering the complete set. One thing that has really stood out to me across all the reviews I've watched is the added value found within their flexible triad system. Where traditional triads are just three color tones having their color tones in groups of six is great for a number of reasons. First as many have pointed out within that six color tone grouping you'll actually be getting four triads. I also like the fact that all six tones can be used to make smooth gradients. Another thing that seems possible with this flexible triad system that I don't recall having been mentioned is there seems to be a lot of forgiveness for accidentally applying the wrong shade. For example say your using the number four blue as your mid tone but you accidentally grab and apply the number three blue where there doesn't appear to be huge shifts in tonality between tones adjacent to each other it seems that will allow some leeway especially for those who are new to miniature painting.
Awesome! I have been looking for a sepia wash ever since Games Workshop decided they wanted to get out of the wash market and replaced their line with sludge.
I love the fact they have a complete set like this, but at 700+ dollars its kind of ridiculous cost point all at one go. And that does not even include the Speed Paints that so many people would want in connection to the new Fanatic line. Also to be fair you're not buying these you are being granted access to this set for free, so consider that in your review. Ahh the benefits of being a influencer. ;) Yes the bottle labels are nice, also the 6 paints in their trifecta sets is pretty cool. They really thought about this new set and it shows... they may now be the top dog in the hobby. With this number of paints I will have to buy them in stages, I am not sure if they will have sets that allow me to buy them in steps without buying doubles or triples of some colors. This is a great review of the paints... like I said Army Painter may of just taken the top spot in the hobby with this and the Speed paints 2.0. From big cans of stain and dipping models to this great new Fantastic line. Well Deserved Army Painter, GOOD WORK!
Definitely gearing up for all their paints. The only qualm I have is the HUGE gap between the Complete and Mega set. It's either go big or go huge with no step in-between. Reaper at least broke their set into three boxes for ease of upgrading one's collection.
The Mega set and the Most Wanted set have no overlap in colors - therefor you could get one and then get the other one later and keep adding without getting the same color twice. Thanks for watching!
Whole, this Army Painters boxset set has a lot of painting options for your models. These ones I'll have to give a try early next year. Thank you for the video and have a Merry Christmas!
I'm sorely tempted to add theses to the painting arsenal and perhaps retire some of my GW paints. Very interested in picking some up in the future to test drive. I hear their new yellows are sublime. Perfect for getting my Hawkshroud Knight project back on it's feet.
With all the current offers out there, and very good products, it is quite interesting to see these paints as a good contender. Will have to wait and see. Bold statement to say these are some of your favorites!
Helpful review, thank you. Will definitely give these a try. I am really impressed with the Speedpaint 2.0 and still trying to improve the way I use the metallic Speedpaints. It looks like I will need to make many of the Vallejo paints redundant.
im beyond hyped for this line of paints. I'm what I like to call "color confused" and really hope the "family of paints will be available or at least it be easy to find out the whole set to purchase individually. I'm actually tempted to pre order the big box and just be done with it. But man thats some serious cash! I'm at least going to get one of the less expensive boxes when they are out.
I'm curious to try these out for my next project. 🙂 I've been searching everywhere for a goblin green replacement that covers well, maybe I'll find it with these new paints.
Swords and Brushes channel did a test ("Are these going to be THE BEST paints for miniature painters going forward?") and they seemed to work really well.
I haven’t tried that yet - honestly, I just stick to the airbrush paints from The Army Painter because I don’t have to thin them. I’ve actually never tried thinning ANY regular paint to put through an airbrush since the first time (it didn’t go well) and I only used Vallejo airbrush paints and then switched to Army Painter Air paints when they came out. Thanks for watching!
So I tried googling to see if I can see how their greys look on a model/with comparisons, but failed. I'm looking for a neutral grey that's between the brightness of Grey Seer and Ulthuan Grey as a mid for painting white Tau. I finally started painting again after ages, and decided to move away from contrast paints. I put Soulblight Grey over a White Scar primer on a Crisis Suit, and it looks bad, reinforcing my decision to go with more classic painting methods.
I'm hopeful and excited that it can offer similar results to Vallejo at more convenient locations for me. I've really been wanting lots of color variety for any project I might want to do.
Good video. It’s been long enough since I’ve sat at the painting desk that many of my GW paint pots are likely dry and crusty. I might start over with this box.
Really nice overview of the new products. I am glad to see AP revising their main opaque paint. Hopefully it will continue to be relatively inexpensive. At least when compared with GW paint. I really like the AP SpeedPaint, that v2 update really fixed any issues with the V1 products.
Thanks for a great overview of this huge range and showing the possibilities. I don't get to see the Twitch to often so a demo video would be great. Also "very unique" ... tisk Uncle Atom. 😂
What an awesome video Adam and a great overview. As both a hobbyist and a retailer I am so excited for this release. They look absolutely phenomenal. Of all the paints you mentioned the two I’m most jazzed for are Death Metal which (correct me if I’m wrong) looks like a metallic black. When I first started painting miniatures (back when George H.W. Bush was President) I always did my bolters with a metallic black which has been so hard to find since GW axed it from their original paint line. The other is oil slick as I used to use Typhus Corrosion all the time but it is nearly impossible to find now. So it’s nice to see an alternative in another main range.
I started painting miniatures with army painter, but later i switched to Scale 76 paints on a whim. Im mighty tempted to try some fanatic paint and see how they compare.
Army Painter is raising the bar with a lot of this. Simply doing the family groupings and descriptive naming is going to change a lot of how I purchase and use paints. Also, the effects paints are going to change a lot as well.
I am very excited about this product line. It looks really good, the reviews are all positive, and being able to have one manufacturer for all my mini paint needs is just... Nice?
I see my favorite 4 go to colors made it in … Angel Green, Uniform Gray, Leather Brown, and Skeleton Bone … I swear I have financed the R and D for Speed Paints with all my purchases of those 4 colors throughout the years
Its sad they are not going to put out a Fairy Dust Effect paint...Its my fav thing to use to make all my Speedpaints Metallic, and being able to dry brush it on since its mostly clear.
With this new line, I’m tempted to try my hand at edge highlighting. However, I’m wondering if I can layer dry brushing for the same effect. Great video!
The triad system in the fanatic paints is very appealing to a beginner like myself. Looking forward to videos teaching how to use it for shading and adding depth & detail to minis. As right now I'm still in the stage of single layer of acrylic's with a wash.
Their colour system, correct colour coding and colour graph is actually pure brilliance and I can see that being a very good selling point for this new range.
Im really excited for this set. I will be getting the big 216 set, I will be replacing all of my paint with this. I loved the concepts of army painter in the past but I didn't feel like they were very good, they just didn't cover well enough but Im stoked for this set.
I'm excited to try these new paints out. I'm not sure which set to get right now, don't see myself using all those metallic colors, the effects, or the fluorescent paints. I would love to just get a set that matches the airbrush line 1:1. Hopefully they put something like that out.
I would love to buy a box like this to replace all citadel paint I own with new Army Painter. I don’t need as many as this fanatic set. But I’ll be looking at their website to get any box set of this new line.
After having used the new Speedpaint 2.0 line extensively for my last couple of projects, I'm very excited to get my hands on this new Fanatic set! Army Painter have been killing it lately!
Love the content especially for myself being new to the hobby. Getting this set and wondered for which red would be best for the ultra marines eyes and seal? Thanks again and keep the content coming.
Okay those labels are brilliant! I just hope the existing colours haven't changed too much otherwise I'm going to have to hunt down old bottles (consistency and shelf life was why I left the citadel line for AP)
Very keen on these. I like that the "Most Wanted" set really does give a variety of colors, and the new effects paints are quite promising. I've been quite happy with the metallic speedpaints so far, so I reckon that he Warpaint metallics should also be quite good.
I'm so upset, two days before they announced this line I said in a conversation "I think I'm set paint wise, I don't need anymore." Looking forward to grabbing them up.
Writing the actual colour on the bottle is such a huge step forward. It's such a simple improvement but so helpful.
Dab some of the colour on top of the bottle cap. Makes it much easier to spot them among the sea of white.
@@TrazynnThat is less helpful for colorblind individuals. I need to understand where the color actually lands from a technical perspective since I can’t trust my eyes. Putting the color & gradient on the label is honestly making me consider picking this up by itself
They started doing that with the Speed Paint 2.0 line. Amazing.
Wasiiitttt pretty sure I’ve seen there bottles with names on labels before.
Love the naming on the bottles. It’s so sorely needed in the mini painting space. Artists have a common language they can use when it comes to paint names (cadmium red, burnt umber, phthalo blue etc.) while we’re stuck with daft fantasy/sci-fi names. I see so many new painters asking ‘what paints do I need to paint this model?’ The answer should be simple. Look at the model and select the colours you see ie. Dark red, light green, etc. ProAcyril has been pretty good with this, now with AP hopefully we’ll see more brands do similar.
That's not entirely true about the naming conventions though. It is somewhat true when they are aimed at Fantasy/Sci-Fi painters, but if you look at the Vallejo Model Colour/Panzer Aces range, the MIG colours, even the old Tamiya range you get "Nato black-grey", "Japanese uniform", "RAF mid sea grey" etc straight out of the bottle because they are trying to replicate something from real life. The colour triads thing isnt new either - Reaper used to do it, foundry did too, and it's common in "modulation effect" airbrush paints for planes and tanks. Not throwing shade at all - even though I mostly paint things in shades of brown and green and I have no use for glowing nuclear vomit effects I'll be trying out lots of stuff from this range.
As someone who is colorblind, the label thing is great. I'm not going to have to have my wife describe what kind of color she thinks 'clouded sea' is supposed to be for me anymore.
DUDE SAME. Thank you. My wife has to be so involved with my paint selection.
Also love when painting tutorials tell exactly what army painter/citadel they used, it’s so essential for me.
I went all in for Pro Acryl this year but these look tempting. I don’t know if I can justify even more paints. Naming convention is fantastic.
I fully agree, I have to do the same thing. I used a label maker and had my wife tell me what the colours actually are
I also lean on my wife (whos an actual artist) for these things, "sayin hey pick out the colors i'm going to need to get this effect, pls" I kinda doubt the little color bar is going to help a lot tho cause of...tone? Some hues already look the same to me but if some hues that i can normal tell apart have the same tone i can be blind to that as well.
I agree - it’s been much needed in the mini paint space for awhile now. Thanks for watching!
I grew up in the states, and now back home in Denmark. Been hobbying for years and only discovered in the last 3 years they are a Danish company, I've talked to other Danes that have been in the hobby here locally for decades and they never knew til I mentioned it.
Danish Design, & Legos are known the world over, for amazing quality, production, & attention to detail. It seems The Army Painter is also committed to these Danish Ideals, not only rapid iteration of their products, but seem to engage and listen to the hobby community. Pretty awesome!
I could see myself maybe trying out some of the effects paints, the extra flavor crystals is an interesting concept. I also like that they have fresh and old versions of a lot of them (especially the blood and rust).
It's nice to see AP really taking a big swing at upping their game. Will definitely be interesting to see what the wider reaction to these are once they're in the wild.
"flavour crystals" killed me 😂😂
Congrats on the collaboration with TAP! You're one of the most trustworthy creators out there, you deserve it

When you tried the new fanatic paints when you move the paint around on a wet pallet does it form small bubbles?
@@OldManb1981 No, it felt really smooth and covering even on the palette.
Wow so no bubbles at all when moving paint around on pallet or on the mini? The new Vallejo game Color range sucks. So many bubbles. Argh

I've already got one of these preordered. They won me over with their technical demo. They'll sit nicely with my speedpaints and my pro acryls.
How did you preorder?
Man its so refreshing to see a company so proactive in trying new things and taking feed back from hobbyists and creators
The new effects paints and washes are on my wish list. I’m getting the speed paints for Christmas. Looking forward to it. 👍
Awesome! I have been looking for a sepia wash ever since Games Workshop decided they wanted to get out of the wash market and replaced their line with sludge.
I just got into painting miniatures, and I had just bought the mega paint set around thanksgiving and now there's a product I want more.
These new paints look amazing!

This is what the kids call a flex, I believe. Your move GW.
Great review of the new paints! I’m legitimately excited for this new paint range. I might never have to buy any more paints

I have been building a list of paints to try for a Verdigris effect and am so thrilled to see this coming down the line!
Very much looking forward to getting my hands on some of these.
Helpful review, thank you. Will definitely give these a try. I am really impressed with the Speedpaint 2.0 and still trying to improve the way I use the metallic Speedpaints. It looks like I will need to make many of the Vallejo paints redundant.

wow I'm really impressed with the rust and metallics. That rust looks real good.
I’ve always been a citadel guy, still am. I did try out about a dozen and I am enjoying them. Pretty good control…
I'm curious to try these out for my next project. 🙂 I've been searching everywhere for a goblin green replacement that covers well, maybe I'll find it with these new paints.
I just recently got the new TT paints which are also amazing
I am so torn if I should buy this... How do the regular Fanatic colors perform through an airbrush?
Swords and Brushes channel did a test ("Are these going to be THE BEST paints for miniature painters going forward?") and they seemed to work really well.
I really haven't had an issue putting any miniature paint through an airbrush. I'm not sure why these wouldn't work either.
I haven’t tried that yet - honestly, I just stick to the airbrush paints from The Army Painter because I don’t have to thin them. I’ve actually never tried thinning ANY regular paint to put through an airbrush since the first time (it didn’t go well) and I only used Vallejo airbrush paints and then switched to Army Painter Air paints when they came out. Thanks for watching!
@@heniv181 Thanks will check it out.
I've got the mega set on pre-order through my local hobby store. I am pretty stoked, loving AP's newer products.
Another superb video Uncle Atom!🥳 gives a really good idea about these paints & I really want to check them out.
I look forward to testing these out I love their air line.
So I tried googling to see if I can see how their greys look on a model/with comparisons, but failed. I'm looking for a neutral grey that's between the brightness of Grey Seer and Ulthuan Grey as a mid for painting white Tau.
I finally started painting again after ages, and decided to move away from contrast paints. I put Soulblight Grey over a White Scar primer on a Crisis Suit, and it looks bad, reinforcing my decision to go with more classic painting methods.
I'm hopeful and excited that it can offer similar results to Vallejo at more convenient locations for me. I've really been wanting lots of color variety for any project I might want to do.
Good video. It’s been long enough since I’ve sat at the painting desk that many of my GW paint pots are likely dry and crusty.
I might start over with this box.
Keep coming back to this, excellent video. 🎉
Really nice overview of the new products. I am glad to see AP revising their main opaque paint. Hopefully it will continue to be relatively inexpensive. At least when compared with GW paint. I really like the AP SpeedPaint, that v2 update really fixed any issues with the V1 products.
Great overview! I'm really looking forward to this line coming out.
I love army painter. It upped my mini game for sure.
I'm really sold on this new line. Great video as always and happy holidays to you all
I am looking forward to these - I don't think I need the "everything" box but will probably get one of the larger sets.
Thanks for a great overview of this huge range and showing the possibilities. I don't get to see the Twitch to often so a demo video would be great. Also "very unique" ... tisk Uncle Atom. 😂
What an awesome video Adam and a great overview. As both a hobbyist and a retailer I am so excited for this release. They look absolutely phenomenal. Of all the paints you mentioned the two I’m most jazzed for are Death Metal which (correct me if I’m wrong) looks like a metallic black. When I first started painting miniatures (back when George H.W. Bush was President) I always did my bolters with a metallic black which has been so hard to find since GW axed it from their original paint line. The other is oil slick as I used to use Typhus Corrosion all the time but it is nearly impossible to find now. So it’s nice to see an alternative in another main range.
I picked up the new metallics box and a bunch of the new fanatics and the difference from the old warpaints is incredibly vast!
Big fan of TAP, looking forward to playing wit these once my current bottles start running low.
I started painting miniatures with army painter, but later i switched to Scale 76 paints on a whim. Im mighty tempted to try some fanatic paint and see how they compare.
Army Painter is raising the bar with a lot of this. Simply doing the family groupings and descriptive naming is going to change a lot of how I purchase and use paints. Also, the effects paints are going to change a lot as well.
I got the 3 color sample kit from AP and was pretty excited about these paints, but those effects and metallics have me feeling things now.
I look forward to trying a few of these new paints. That being said, there are so many to choose from!
Hehehe, I'm lookin at them metalics under my microscope :-) keep paintin atom, keep paintin!
Thanks a lot for breaking down the new line. Did you by any chance check if the Fluorescent paints glow under UV light?
I didn't - I’ll have to check that out. Thanks for watching!
I am very excited about this product line. It looks really good, the reviews are all positive, and being able to have one manufacturer for all my mini paint needs is just... Nice?
I see my favorite 4 go to colors made it in … Angel Green, Uniform Gray, Leather Brown, and Skeleton Bone … I swear I have financed the R and D for Speed Paints with all my purchases of those 4 colors throughout the years
Its sad they are not going to put out a Fairy Dust Effect paint...Its my fav thing to use to make all my Speedpaints Metallic, and being able to dry brush it on since its mostly clear.
I do love the TAP washes. I too think they are the best off the shelf washes.
My local store will be getting some in and I am excited to try them out.
That color scale/family bar thing is outstanding. I've wanted something like that for a while.
That colour family and gradient guide is brilliant and a little bit annoying that its only just happening!
With this new line, I’m tempted to try my hand at edge highlighting. However, I’m wondering if I can layer dry brushing for the same effect. Great video!
I do a lot of drybrushing. It can work really well. Thanks for watching!
The triad system in the fanatic paints is very appealing to a beginner like myself. Looking forward to videos teaching how to use it for shading and adding depth & detail to minis. As right now I'm still in the stage of single layer of acrylic's with a wash.
The Labelling is the biggest innovation here.
I love that patina tarnish look!
It’s a really great effect depending on how much you think it down. Works great. Thanks for watching!
Their colour system, correct colour coding and colour graph is actually pure brilliance and I can see that being a very good selling point for this new range.
Oh lord, not only the paint colour descriptions, but the paint family!?! This is going on my shopping list!
Thanks for the review, I know what's going on my wish list.
Im really excited for this set. I will be getting the big 216 set, I will be replacing all of my paint with this. I loved the concepts of army painter in the past but I didn't feel like they were very good, they just didn't cover well enough but Im stoked for this set.
I'm excited to try these new paints out. I'm not sure which set to get right now, don't see myself using all those metallic colors, the effects, or the fluorescent paints. I would love to just get a set that matches the airbrush line 1:1. Hopefully they put something like that out.
Thanks for the great overview of the whole set, I just pre-ordered it :D
I would love to buy a box like this to replace all citadel paint I own with new Army Painter. I don’t need as many as this fanatic set. But I’ll be looking at their website to get any box set of this new line.
After having used the new Speedpaint 2.0 line extensively for my last couple of projects, I'm very excited to get my hands on this new Fanatic set! Army Painter have been killing it lately!
Another great show again, thank you so much and keep them coming please!
I'm excited for the effects. I haven't been able to get my hands on Blood for the Blood God or Nurgle Rot and now I've found a replacement
Love the content especially for myself being new to the hobby. Getting this set and wondered for which red would be best for the ultra marines eyes and seal? Thanks again and keep the content coming.
I usually paint the eyes white, and then after they dry - I use Blood Red Speedpaint over the white. Thanks for watching!
Okay those labels are brilliant!
I just hope the existing colours haven't changed too much otherwise I'm going to have to hunt down old bottles (consistency and shelf life was why I left the citadel line for AP)
I'm in love with the speed paint line.
Definitely looking forward to checking out these, more good competition is always good
Very keen on these. I like that the "Most Wanted" set really does give a variety of colors, and the new effects paints are quite promising. I've been quite happy with the metallic speedpaints so far, so I reckon that he Warpaint metallics should also be quite good.
I'm so upset, two days before they announced this line I said in a conversation "I think I'm set paint wise, I don't need anymore." Looking forward to grabbing them up.
