- I've FINALLY got the GIANT Fanatic Complete set from The Army Painter - and I'm going to talk about the things inside that other people HAVEN'T talked about yet!
Vince Venturella and I made a 'zine! Check out SNARL at www.snarlingbad...
I'm now a partner on Twitch! I paint minis every Friday morning and Monday night, and sometimes take paint breaks (play video games poorly). Follow me: / tabletopminions

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.
Congrats on the collaboration with TAP! You're one of the most trustworthy creators out there, you deserve it
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!
Army Painter is killing it recently. They have stepped up their game immensely.
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!
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
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.
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.
Great review of the new paints! I’m legitimately excited for this new paint range. I might never have to buy any more paints
These new paints look amazing!
I love how well they are organized, and I love the effects paint.
I can see myself using them all in my armies.
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!
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 love that patina tarnish look!
It’s a really great effect depending on how much you think it down. Works great. Thanks for watching!
That colour family and gradient guide is brilliant and a little bit annoying that its only just happening!
I've got the mega set on pre-order through my local hobby store. I am pretty stoked, loving AP's newer products.
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.
Think youve convinced me to say sod it and just order the whole set
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?
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.
Psyched for magenta wash, magenta is my most frequently mixed glazing color
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.
Not sure if you're embargo'd on side by sides but could you... Or someone... Do a side by side with the pro acryl white? - the fanatic orange is absolutely glorious which is giving quite a lot of hope for the white in this range.
Big fan of TAP, looking forward to playing wit these once my current bottles start running low.
Great video.
Random thought. How did they get away with putting a Great Unclean One on the box cover?
Since they released their Air line, and Speed paint 2.0, Army Painter has become my go to brand for miniature painting, along with Vallejo Model Color. I can't imagine buying a Citadel paint pot unless it was all I had access to, or it was one of the 3-4 essential colors from their line (Snakebite Leather comes to mind).
I'm colorblind so the practical naming is really important to me. I made the switch to ProAcryl for that and other reasons but The Army Painter may very well win me back.
Sup king, thanks for this I need to replace my 10 year old GW paints - It looks like this set is right up my ally.
Going to wait for some reviews before jumping in but definitely looks promising. One thing I like about AP is their variety of colors without mixing..their new paints have had nothing but positive feedback.
More companies should make boxes like this. Those gradient scales are a very nice touch. All producers of paint should use simple straightforward names. For instance, between Tamiya and Mr. Hobby you have Japanese Navy Green and Imperial Japanese Navy Green. Less guess work, less ridiculous. I wish I needed more paint, so I could justify buying these.
I'm mainly interested in the metallics and effects lines. Hopefully they'll be available in complete sets when they release. And I'm i too hope that they sell the color sets individually. Would make planning my next army easier.
New painter here...so confused about all the different types of paints..speedpaints, washes, bases, layers, fanatics and so on and so on... oh dear... No idea where to start - I just want my HeroQuest minis to look good :D
Could we get a side by side comparison to the other paint lines?
Love Space Weirdos - glad to see that game getting some attention. Great video, sir!
For me, the fact that they have Orange wash is an instant sell for me, because i Needed Fuegan Orange shade from citadel and then they released the new one which is much less pigmented, making it unusable for me, because I'd need to apply double the amount of coats to get the same effect as before
Adam extremely out of context on new paint line: "booger-like rubber cement stuff"
They sounds pretty cool but I've stuck with Vallejo for most of my paints. I wish I'd known beforehand that the Game Colour range weren't matt though as probably half of my paints are those and that sucks when you're trying to paint a cloak and it's as shiny as a glass bottle. Plus I generally dislike GW paints so anything else does have it's appeal. Ninjon and Miniac did a list of their favourite paints. I presume we can add this kit to yours then?
Being able to do gradients with 6 tints without having to mix anything is darn good for non pro.
This is awesome! So excited for this to come out!
I’m very jealous. I could never swing that massive awesome paint set. Unless they are like a quarter a bottle maybe? :p
I’ll have to stick to just picking up stuff as I need.
These new paints look interesting. I'm personally not really interested in the "effects", so I just kinda wish there was like... a box set that contained the main middle-tone of each of the colors instead of all of the different shades, and maybe the washes in there too.
I switched to Army Painter due to availability, price and the dropper bottles. I'm looking forward to the Fanatic line.
Great video, thank you
My brush is saying YAY! while my wallet is saying OUCH!
I'm just giving this whole set a shot in one fell swoop.
IM NEW TO PAINTING AND THIS SET LOOKS QUITE APPEALING, I WAS WONDERING HOW WELL THE PAINTS GO THROUGH AN AIR BRUSH?
Wonder what the cost of the set will be
do you know what the MSRP will be?
I'm going to assume the paints with resin texture are NOT airbrush friendly.
I would NOT shoot the Effects paints with the texture through an airbrush. Probably won’t work. Thanks for watching!
The set looks very promising and I would love to get it. But can I justify buying anymore paint when I already have so so very much 🤔
Uncle N00b helper ❤
As I said Monday morning, I want to ditch my collection and start again with a smaller load. These seem to be more likely than GW, but not that huge box.
GWS paints suck, lid poped open on brand new paint and dried it up. Happens all the time paint build up in lid.
The Army Painter "Regiment" brush was my go-to brush for years, but the last couple I've bought have been pretty bad; they would not form a point or were outright curled up right from AP. Does the brush in this box look better, Uncle A?
Dunk it in boiling water
@@janeblogs324 shouldn’t have to fix a brand new brush…
I may have missed it but what is the retail cost of this set?
I'm not sure it's been announced yet. I know they annouced the new price of the single bottles (they'll be going from $3.75 per bottle to $4.25 per bottle, mainly due to the new formulation and the highly increased pigment) in a video, but I'm not sure of the price of the Complete set. Thanks for watching!
fantastic video as always! my one quick question would be, whatever happened to the second video of the Inquisitor kitbash? Big, angry, overcompensating baby? You know the one.
Anyways, much love and aloha from Hawaii!
Oh, it’ll be here in 2024. That video got terrible views, so I assumed that people weren’t that into it, so it hasn’t been a priority. It’s on its way, though. Thanks for watching!
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.
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 😂😂
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.
Sounds awsome, but ~600€ for paints is still a statement...
I don’t really know that most folks will buy the Complete box, honestly. But it’s a great collection that shows off the entire new line, and those paints will be available in sets and singles all over. Thanks for watching!
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.
Army painter making good paints???? Who’da guessed. Seriously. I hate their old formula.
This is what the kids call a flex, I believe. Your move GW.
Hehehe, I'm lookin at them metalics under my microscope :-) keep paintin atom, keep paintin!
Super stoked for these. Army Painter has been crushing it lately (Speedpaint 2.0, especially) so I'm hopeful these will be on another level.
I am saving my money for these when they are available for the public. My Reaper paints have finally crapped out, and I have to replace them all. 😢
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.
Thing is with paints when do you stop buying? I bought their first edition starter box, the paint is poor quality but I am determined to use it up. Same goes for the Speed Paint. Problem is model paint lasts for years as you are only using tiny quantities. So whilst this is interesting I won't be buying for a lot of years to come.
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.
If only I had place for 200+ paints... (plus the ones I have now)
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.)
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
Real paint names? On an Army Painter product? Unbelievable! Of course, they still kept the stupid useless names front and center (what the fuck color do you imagine Wizards Orb to be? I wouldn't have said turquoise even as a 3rd guess), but having real names on the bottles at all is going to be wonderful.
Can you please tell me if Sam got credit for the boxart of that paint job. My eyes tell me it's his, but I just don't know! I also think at one point I saw Bo actually painting it. I'm conflicted.
I've hated almost every AP paint I've used in the past. That being said, after watching this video I'm still tempted to try these out.
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.
Lol, i paint the caps with the color in the bottle
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.
Army Painter always seemed like they're a bit of a joke in the hobby. Like, their paints have a reputation for being sub-par, not worth the money you save buying them instead of from Vallejo. I really hope these paints change that! It sounds super exciting, even the small features like the true-color name, and the gradient style organization...
So long as they all behave similarly (none are too thin or thick out the bottle, no chalky lighter colors, no different finishes, etc), I can really see 2024 being a huge year for Army Painter!
Are they as good as Pro Acryl and AK 3rd gen? Cause I'm not really too trusting based on my previous experience with army painter paints. Loads of people would say that they used army painter all the time and that their paints were great, but I had a terrible experience in the past
The Labelling is the biggest innovation here.
Outstanding overview, really looking forward to seeing more of the effect paints, and the new labelling package is interesting and a great move forward
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!
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.
Great stuff friend 👏 👍
Colour me intrigued. In six shades.
I see what you did there. Thanks for watching!
As colour blind guy really interested, but I have fallen for pro acryl, how do they compare? The whites and yellows in particular?
Pumped. Love me some Army Painter. Never been so excited to get my hands on some paint. At least … not since Speed Paint 2.0 🤣. I’m actually really impressed with AP and their push to make a better product. Good on them. If AP was a lady, I’d prolly date em and maybe even take them out in public.
I honestly hope that they just replace the original paint line with these. Army. Painter makes so many great products, but their original line of paints is just so outgunned by the competition...
I love how reactive the company has been to feedback, I love so many of their products but I hate telling people to buy anything but army painter for their first paint set.
I'm really looking forward to them having an option that I can recommend for regular paints.
That’s what’ll be happening - these new Fanatic paints will be replacing the current Warpaint opaque paints. Thanks for watching!
I want
It's a shame they missed Christmas. Nobody has any money in January.
There are stores that allow you to preorder them now….
I am going to be getting these as a late Christmas present.
Sounds nice but with AP, this is a wait and see...
Definitely getting some of the effects at the very least
Do the new army painter bottles still leak when shaken? All the army painter paints I have are a total mess when taking off the lid.
I haven’t ever found them to leak. That’s odd. Thanks for watching!
I pulled the trigger on the Complete Set this morning. Hearing your review has made me twice as excited! Many thanks!
Holy moly the bottle labels.....just wow.
wow I'm really impressed with the rust and metallics. That rust looks real good.
I can't wait to get my mitts on the complete set of these. Thanks for the overview of the new stuff!
I'm already printing more paint racks :D
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.
For the low low price of $800 bucks
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
I recently got into mini painting (even though I've been gaming since the 80's), and I've become a huge fan of Army Painter. This is good news for my inner child, terrible news for my wallet.😂
