PRISON PLANET: Speed painting Penal Guard

[@iain.sm.c]

I really appreciate that the thumbnails show the finished product. So many hobby channels blur the results in their thumbnails, which tends to have the opposite effect than what they're going for. Thanks guy!

[@barbarusbloodshed6347]

Yeah. I see some nice minis I go "oooh, I wanna watch that", I see some pixelated or blurred blob I go "f*ck off!" and never watch that video.

[@prefectionist]

Yes! Spot on. Thanks, Guy!

[@1IGG]

Or I just skip to the end..

[@MadhouseMinis]

Preach

[@rahveel]

Agree with this.

[@TheArmyPainter]

LOVED watching this! We love a good army painting project and it's so rewarding to see all of those models standing in uniform when they are done. Great job Guy!

[@TheArmyPainter]

Pretty cool to see how quickly you painted one coat over another, and a white re-basecoat with limited bleed. Good work.

[@ArchmageFel]

@@TheArmyPainter What caused the odd red dots in the spilled paint early in the video? Is that intended?

[@richardokeeffe8375]

@@TheArmyPainterI’ll second that request. Were the ‘bits’ in Nuclear Sunrise an error?

[@thelinsky2319]

@@ArchmageFel I think that came from pouring it back into the bottle after it spilled. Might have been something that settled on the pallette.

[@oldaccount1378]

@@thelinsky2319exactly what i thought, seems fairly obvious

[@andrewholliday1094]

Something about the hard transition from "MEAT FOR THE GRINDER IN THE GEARS OF AN ENDLESS WAR" to "Hey everyone! Guy here! :D" made me laugh.

[@romeo.3472]

I think the mistake made pouring it back into the bottle was worse than the exploding nozzle incident. 🤣

[@TheArmyPainter]

That may have been where the spots came from :(

[@warkijiji4474]

Ya seeing that hurt my soul

[@huge-bever1043]

You gotta love it when guy uses his grimdark voice

[@FauxNorth]

Wow, that orange really pops! Layering a couple Speedpaints was a good call on this one.

[@Pipes_Wildin]

Personally, I find the speedpaints make a mild camouflage effect on the armor panels, which I think looks really good.

[@fenrirsrage4609]

Agreed! The blotchiness on armor looks pretty good ngl.

[@justjuno621]

Love that you had the most bleak, grimdark intro I’ve seen in a painting vid followed with a very cheery “Hey everyone!” Also that battle report is gonna be a marvelously vibrant spectacle!

[@thymekuhn8387]

I can't get over how good Guy's music is. His tunage is legit!

[@Nigelius]

I really appreciate the transparency about paint brands. It’s got to the point with speed paint that I don’t know if some hobby KZbinrs like them because it’s a good product or if they have a vested interest in showing them in a good light. Thanks for being honest and keeping your opinions objective.

[@TheArmyPainter]

We don’t pay for reviews. We DID hire three channels as consultants for their feedback in the development of the new colours and range but we’ve been extremely forthcoming about that. In their contract we specifically state that we were not hiring them to make content, we hired them as representatives of our great community :)

[@GB-jd9we]

Really liked the super clear disclaimer about the paints, there’s defo a lot of channels out there that aren’t that clear about what they’ve been sponsored to show.

[@YatzeeWillWearAGreenHat]

I really like the orange jumpsuit aesthetic for your penal guardsmen. I never thought you could do anything interesting with guards beside "insert historic army here" paintjobs, glad you showed me otherwise.

[@Bluecho4]

There's honestly loads of Guard color schemes out there, both in official material and fan made.

[@USALibertarian]

Pouring that paint back into the bottle was like every movie when the character is dying of thirst and pours their last drops of water or new found water all over their face spilling 90% of it.

[@danieljvanrensburg]

Can you be the narrator in the new warhammer show, you killed it with that intro, sounded real good

[@epl803]

Yep that intro was sic

[@ttaibe]

And then that contrasting happy Hi.. It felt like a cold shower.

[@danieljvanrensburg]

@@ttaibe yeah it hit just as hard lol

[@B__C__]

Awesome. I love off-the-usual-box-art-color-schemes, which is why it was so hard for me to 'Sandstone' my Indomitus Necrons, but I couldn't get away from the bony color pallet. Guy has become _'the Man'._

[@jinnqmarak1la]

The tonal whiplash I got from the introduction to the actual video-

[@thelinsky2319]

Finally! I'll paint a big target on my back again, but I am glad that you get to try out these paints! Hope to see them more as a tool in your Arsenal.

[@ericvaughn2617]

Good to see the formula hasn't changed much in the way the paint behaves. This technique is my go to now. The speed paint tells me where to add highlights which is my favorite part.

[@Scapuli]

These are undoubtedly my favourite videos of yours. So informative and therapeutic

[@Lokitellus]

This is how I’ll paint my guardsmen, makes them very unique

[@warbearin]

This was a creative colourscheme! Well done.

[@Captainyyeet]

NEW MIDWINTER MINIS LETS GO!

[@evanfish4505]

I love seeing how creative the community has been with Guard since the "Cadia Stands" box came out Also, the heavy weapon team is included in the start collecting box so that you can run it as part of the squad

[@JC.Denton.]

So hyped for this video as soon as I saw the notification

[@deusmortis9751]

I love the small lore you gave to them. Its real neat

[@jakenator7427]

That looks amazing! I can’t wait to see them fight the forces of chaos!

[@edzeppelin933]

Love those old mugshots in the introduction. Great touch! Thanks for showing us the mistakes you make too, Guy. You are human after all!

[@markopolo12008]

Those mini's turned out great, love the Commissar....Well done..👍

[@TheMariusDarkwolf]

Awesome video Guy, it's really appreciated, and I enjoyed watching it. I know that AP has said that with the new 2.0 formula, that if you let the paints dry for about 2 hours (variable depending on weather) they shouldn't re-activate at all any more. That being said, I obviously haven't had the chance to try them out myself yet, so watching this, and seeing them being used 'in the wild' so to speak is really helpful.

[@TheArmyPainter]

I don’t think Guy waited the recommended 2 hours 😂 but you can see how easy it was to apply a coat of white overtop. After two coats of white and Speedpaint should be covered for good.

[@TheMariusDarkwolf]

@@TheArmyPainter Yeah those are certainly top tier. I can't wait to get my hands on some. Just wish I'd been able to pre-order them.

[@brgz87]

Wow-sticks and deep dark holes...great video!

[@TheMrFishnDucks]

Awesome video. The models have turned out great. The orange is great but that gold is amazing. Hopefully you can test more of that gold on other things and see how it ages. Looking forward to the next video. Keep up the good work.

[@KaineVillante]

The dropper bottle incident reminds me of my Lil incident with speed paint as well. We're the cap was loose and I shook the dang thing gushing a bit everywhere hahaha.

[@bopaintsminis]

Extra thumbs up for reviewing paints that you paid for yourself. Kudos.

[@kristoff7049]

That commissar looks awesome … and a great tip on the paint bottles!

[@MethosChannel]

OMG, they look like the security guards from ALien Vs Predator 2 game! Nostalgia just kicked in!

[@ggadmire]

I have only used speed paint 1.0 but they can really pop if done over a colored undercoat. I wanted to paint a librarian with the blue armor so i based the model in purple, zenithaled it in teal, then a drybrush of white. When High Lord Blue went over it, it really looked good

[@Laz2074]

I've also burst open my army painter bottles like that before, nice to see a hobby hero go through the same struggles

[@S67Snail]

that blue for the plasma pistol is amazing

[@Metallica4Life92]

that Commisar is genuinely gorgeous :D that purple is the best color of them all

[@arandomday3530]

Ooh! I’ve just been getting started with mini painting using army painter’s starter kit and really been enjoying it. Definitely want to give these speed paints a try now!

[@Bloodworia]

I love speedpaints so much. With a white primer they are so fun to paitn with. You certainly need some regular paints along site depening on what you are painting.

[@stevenkirton6373]

I have had a guard army sitting in a case primed white for like 2 years. Now I have a scheme, thanks Guy ♡

[@iangreen4572]

I have the original plastic inperial guard box set from the 80's and even back then i made a " dirty dozen " inspired penal battalion squad and used orange for their uniforms too.

[@Vandralys]

I've found it super helpful to prime and paint my speedpaint lids with the colour. It shows the range of colour really well due to the texture on the lids.

[@TheArmyPainter]

Genius!

[@christiankrueger8048]

Thank you!

[@loupiscanis9449]

Thank you , Guy . 🐺

[@frogman7073]

I enjoyed this video! Sort of a return to form and I appreciate it!

[@timothyyoung2962]

"Meat for the grinder in the gears of an endless war... Hey everyone, Guy here!" That was quiet the juxtaposition in tones there for the opening : D Loving that paint scheme.

[@Rathammergames]

Thanks for the video!! More speed painting videos please 😊

[@fredrikoregard832]

Nice result! 👍😄👏

[@albertosara416]

That's such an amazing color scheme! Love these

[@thatScoutdog]

Those speed paints are great I didn't know they had a metalic now. With the little pack of them I was making a bright gold whith zealot yellow by mixing it with vallejo silver but maby I need to check them again for the new colors

[@markt.3685]

These came out great, congrats! Thanks for some of the extra tips too, much appreciated! 😎👍

[@josephrigley8974]

They look pretty good in orange def the best way to paint Cadians.

[@c.m.7071]

Testing the paints on the bases, finding which you like best, THEN RE-PRIMING THE BASES?! My god... it's so simple... WHY DIDNT I THINK OF THAT?! In my tiny brain, paint=forever so it's scary in that regard. But this is just flippin' smart work.

[@isisnmagic1812]

Great video, love the colours.

[@mickthegeek875]

Awesome video and I love the superglue to plastic cups idea for painting the models.

[@DavidHesselfeldt]

Love the paint scheme!

[@gregorstamejcic2355]

oooh! lovely Velvet underground callout there, Guy!

[@hybus3696]

I've found contrast/speed paints through an airbrush come out really well. It's my go to for any big models with wings.

[@whotookmydice]

Very cool!

[@cetx]

Very cool to see. Also, nice Velvet Underground reference.

[@halfcrafted]

Personally not a fan of Army Painter paints as a whole, and I admire your perseverance trying all these different painting techniques out, but I think this only solidifies how counterproductive "speed paints" can be generally speaking. Great video, always good seeing people's honest takes. Look forward to seeing these projects duke it out in the arena!

[@ayyys-u3362]

thanks doc

[@dinkledord7026]

wowow I love that purple!

[@dualwieldsoftware]

I love how you did that electric effect on the sword! So simple, but the results were fantastic. I gotta give that a try

[@conallogtrainor7171]

Love your videos. Keep up the amazing work

[@slanahesh]

How you did the commissar is exactly how I use my speedpaints. Adding some white or off white to the regular speedpaint colour creates the perfect highlights to give your paint job that extra pop.

[@harryhamilton298]

Very interesting challenge. Thanks! Also, thanks for the ball bearing tip.

[@Sammo212]

Anyone interested should check out the Last Chancers novels for penal legion action. Definitely hits the "Dirty Dozen in Warhammer 40k" vibe really well.

[@bryanjones7082]

Looks great. can't wait for that battle report!

[@yappacowski8785]

Love the paint scheme! 👍

[@richardvardy]

I recently started using some of these paints, and I've found that if you do a clean base coat of the individual colours you want then apply the relevant speed paint over the top you can actually get some nice effects. For instance I painted my vampire/zombie dragon things wings red then highlighted, t hen used speed paint red over the top and it really popped.gave loads of depth and amped up up vibrancy of the colours. Hope this was useful. And by the way, love your stuff.

[@fybso3057]

Finally Deathmatch returns!

[@markgnepper5636]

Great stuff friend 👏 👍

[@afpops]

Cool stuff!

[@Tyler-nr6kl]

6:38 i actually did this to myself the other night. It wasnt army painter but a random paint i wanted to try from a game store after a night shift. Shake it up, heard a ball inside and was like 'oh thats cool!'. Went to squeeze... nothing. I had let it sit for a long time (depression is fun, get therapy yall), so i figured it was a little gunked and just needed some help. I squeezed harder and ended up painting my palette, the wall, my pants, and my pride. Wish i saw this earlier 😅

[@Xanrry]

Love that the commissar looks like he would fit in well with the Ork army you have Guy, lol

[@LordTairan]

That Caribbean Ocean paint over white is pure magic. Hate doing plasma!

[@TheSorrowOfTheReaper]

Great video, as always! I personally love Speedpaints by AP, I have never gotten models painted quicker, especially when combined with a Slapchop underpainting. I will check out the Speedpaints 2.0 package, since almost every color from 1.0 was very good but somewhat limited in color palette variety.

[@kosachilles2504]

Great video!

[@whitedragon480]

Cool!

[@calvanoni5443]

Very Dapper looking!

[@namos429]

Shared on Twitter! Thanks, Guy!

[@tiberiumnp8030]

A bit of weathering with a sponge and those blotchy armor panels would've looked great and worn!

[@kayraurkmez2032]

Definitely gonna use this video when i paint gsc, thanks Guy!

[@Perram]

Great job on these. Bright orange always scares me. :D

[@FrogPaintz]

Just painted some space marines! They looked good thanks to your speed painting video on them!

[@MW-xi9oy]

The colour combo on the commissar was surprisingly nice 😊

[@summonlessermaker]

Such a great, unique Idea! The gold paint looked much better on the "general guy"

[@thomrade]

Dont think we missed that Velvet Underground reference guy! These guys look great. The orange is a really unique color, very eye-catching, and great idea with the barcode insignia. I imagine when you do the lemans russ, In order to sell it as a penal legion you could 'weld' the hatches shut or something similar, like they're ensuring the crew don't bail out at the first sign of trouble.

[@arandomlostsoul753]

Those Guardsmen look great, it's a very cool and unusual colour scheme! Also, happy to hear I'm not the only one to have accidentally squirted paint all over.

[@deusmortis9751]

god tier content

[@itsraeg]

thanks for telling us how the nozzle incident happens. happened to me the other day too.

[@beanieweenietapioca]

If I were doing a force like this, I'd be tempted to do variant colors on a few of the armor panels and lasguns. I like the idea that their equipment tends to be picked up and re-used from battlefield casualties, so gear of different shades would end up cobbled together. I'm imagining orange-suited prisoners being herded directly from the prison ship, to the heaps of salvaged equipment, to the battlefield.

[@MyChannel-tl8ms]

Really cool concept

[@fenrirsrage4609]

Absolutely love how these came out the choice of colors are really dope. Ngl I do like the blotchiness on the armor before you painted over them again. Dunno why but it really makes them look more disheveled and makes the armor look like it has seen better days which us fitting when your arming conscripted prisoners.

[@fenrirsrage4609]

[@kgrafty6444]

Those are great colors. Your review is a happy surprise. I like army painter speed paints because they are much cheaper than Citadel and readily available at my local shop.
