[@diehexenmaus185]

honestly, i see these on the same level as ak interactive's 3rd gen and the new army painter fanatic line and it feels like a real golden age for accessible, easy to use, good paints.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

It is indeed

[@Bobyoudontneeemyname]

I agree. I haven’t used a ‘bad’ paint in a long time at this point.

I'd add ProAcryl to that list. We really are spoiled for choice these days.

The fanatic line is soooo overrated! Their colour selection is horrendous

[@dfranks04]

Just subscribed after watching this. I'm brand new to 3d printing and painting minis and have been watching so many hours of painters. At the end, I was truly blow away but the lamp and how you shadowed the cape from the light source. Brought a smile to my face and then when I noticed how you did the shadows quadrants I was WOWed.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks! VIEWS FOR THE VIEWS GOD SUBS FOR THE SUBS THRONE

[@andreigeorg]

Regarding the wash setting weird on the cape, I don't think that it's because of the wash itself. I had the same issue while washing a cape last week, while using a GW wash. I think the problem comes from the finish that game/model color has. My cape was painted with vallejo paints and when I applied the GW wash over, it did the same thing. My guess would be that the finish on these paints can be a bit hydrophobic which makes washes on large areas not be able to "stick" as much.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

You actually might be onto something here! Good line of thought, I need to do some testing. Thanks

[@Groovy_elk]

Same. I applied them over glossier paints (citadel and Vallejo metals) and they behave as expected, with a great finish

[@francisharbourt7625]

Yeah, this was my thought as well as it also occurs when applying Xpress colors over a layer of Model/Game Color. I tried basing with pro acryl and then applying the Xpress over those and it worked fine. I went back and tried a third time by basing with new Game Color then airbrushing AK ultra matte before applying the Xpress layer and voila, it worked without the hydrophobia.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Super interesting. Thanks for sharing that

[@JackDespero]

I mostly use Vallejo. I'm fond of Xpress, being a beginner: they help so much to give basic shade and highlights without any efforts other than painting with them

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Glad you liked them!

[@laurensvannijvel3256]

A note on the washes: I got a similarly weird pooling effect when shading an old-formulation Drakenhof Nightshade from GW over VGC Steel Grey. It begs the question whether the problem lies with the shade or with the paint underneath 🤔

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Good point. Another viewer suggested the same and I think some investigating might be on point

[@michalanz2612]

I love Vallejo and love using them, but does it indicate anywhere which paints are more/less opaque or transparent? I'd rather know before buying a paint which one I should best pick up for blocking in/glazing.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

That's actually a very fair question and the sad answer is no. I REALLY wish they added transparency indicators like art paints

hay what model is that need it for whq 95

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

[@HisMickness]

Any chance on seeing the new formulation Gunmetal Blue in action? It's going to be a fair while until I can actually get my hands on a bottle of it down here in Australia, and so far, I'm finding it very difficult to see real-world examples of it out in the wild. Only Stahly has shown it off (that I can find), but while his swatches are immaculately done, it's not always a perfect representation compared to a miniature. Help a guy out?

[@lovemysi07]

I really wanted to see your red combination. That red pops for how you painted it. What was your B.S.L. colors for that?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

The whole mini was recorded as a masterclass and is being released right now on Patreon. Part 1 is there already and features the red parts.

[@joshfoss7407]

Do you use the Metal Color line? Those have been the gold standard metallics for me in the market. When you say that game color silver is the best highlight on the market, does that include Metal Color silver and duraluminum?

[@TheDarkplace]

How does the durability feel? The old model colour paint had a bad habit of coming off while i was painting. I got round this by using satin varnish as a save point but it would be nice to not need to do this. I never had this problem with the game colour paints so if they are both similar now that would be great

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Paints feel durable now but it's also true that I don't game with them

[@TheDarkplace]

@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures I varnish for game play I just need them to stay put while I am painting the model

[@overlordmarkus]

Hi, Juan, how do the model colour metallics compare to the air series? Actually, same question regarding the game colour metallics. I directly went from GW metallics to the big Vallejo air metallic bottles and never looked back. And how do the old reliables (Ice Yellow, Ivory, Pale Sand, etc) compare between the old and new model colours? They've been my go-to's whenever I need a brighter shade of a colour. Personally, I hoped Vallejo would have gone the way of Army Painter with their flexible triads instead of three or more bsl combos for each colour, but that's just preference and the timing wouldn't have made sense anyway.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Hi, Game Color metallics are the same as the Model Air ones. Model Color metallics are completely new and similar to Scale75 but still EXCELLENT All new versions of the paints are better than before and more consistent.

[@christiansebine7316]

Buena review y muy chula la mini, sobre todo la parte de la lámpara 😚👌 Al principio se ha notado un poco raro con los cortes, pero en general ha sido buen vídeo. Obviando que los amarillos son transparentes de por sí, hay alguno que hayas visto que sea opaco que cubra bien en alguna de las gamas?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Los únicos amarillos que cubren son los que tienen mucho blanco mezclado y los de cadmio, que son tóxicos y no están en ninguna gama de hobby. Yo personalmente no quiero ninguna de las dos opciones pero si buscas uno, los de Army Painter están bien. Eso sí, te va a quedar muy mostaza y apagado todo

Using them for quite some time, excellent paints, use them alongside AK's 3rd gen. Here in Russia AK and Vallejo are historically more available and you can find them in any hobby shop. Tamiya and Mr. Hobby are even more available, but they are for scale models, very hard to paint a mini with 🙂 Personally, I was using Vallejo acrylics since mid 90s and never had any issues, like them a lot. P.S. Maaaan, that OSL is nuts. I was experimenting with OSL, which I never painted before and it always looks like shit 😂

I really wanted to love Vallejo but I couldn’t take the bubbles issue anymore as it ruined so many minis. Warpaint fanatic doesn’t have this issue so I know the issues isn’t on my end and lots of people have this same issue with the new Vallejo formula with bubbles drying and not popping and leave holes in your paint job. Such a shame as I love Vallejo as a company. Hopefully ones day they will re-release a version 2 of the formula to correct the issue

[@Elfhelm]

Skill issue 😢

[@DarthVZ]

There are for sure some bubbles, but if they transfer on your minis you apply the paint way to thickly.

[@thrrax]

Sorry if I missed it in your review, but are the Game Colour paints less satin with this new formulation? The matte finish of Model Colour is what drew me to that line over the years; hoping this is the case with Game Colour now too.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Yes, exactly as Matt as Model Color as they are essentially the same paints

Best thing about Vallejo for me is that I can get Air, model, game, xpress and everything else 15min walk ( up a horrendous hill ) away. Always restocking as well. No other paints though as it's not really that type of store. So far loved all of the ones I have used.

[@TheRoamingbison]

I appreciate your mini rant about some pigments being more transparent. Not every paint needs to be super opaque, in fact that can be a negative for some techniques. When they add in white pigment to increase coverage they are losing saturation, look at the AP red line for a great example.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

For me Im picky with metalics. Im a big fan of vallejo metal color series. I know they are going to have a new formula. The good part of my work flow is that vallejo metal color series and alclad 2 have good combination. I wish that vallejo metal color series range would have a rich gold and not the green kind. I can work arround that by doing the gold recipy of vince venturela, but i really wish they could do that. They have it on the alcool médium but is inconvenient. Vallejo model color is my go to in non metalics and will still BE! #alwaysvallejo

[@brib9716]

You didn't experience the bubbling that every other reviewer commented on?

[@harkejuice]

With Greenstuff world droppers that make you pierce the dropper before you use it, if you cut them you can wind up with a mess when you shake them. To fix them I put a piece of greenstuff to make up the difference. Greenstuff does not like to stick to dropper tip plastic but it will stick to the cap so its a nice seal. Beautiful work on the mini as always, if only they would sell me a large box of their paints instead of me trying to bully my LGS to spend 2K$ on a new rack.

The previous range of Vallejo washes were similar, weren't they? They work well on really textured areas but they're pretty useless on anything remotely flat - and weirdly goopy. I never worked out what they were actually intended for, but I found a couple of them useable for glazing in shadows when diluted down a lot with glaze medium.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Some people suggested it's not caused by the wash but by the paint underneath. I need to investigate

[@JohnSmith-rt5yq]

I'm trying to find where to buy these in the US for especially the new line of game color and model color as well as the express colors but in the US it seems to be a hard product to find especially down in Florida does anyone know of a store in the Miami Florida area that might carry this

Not certain about miami…just there not long ago btw. Michigan toy soldier (online) you can easily order all the new Vallejo paints.

[@ILikeYous]

Hey Juan, in like 6 months you should do a "best of" for the new formulation from Vallejo. After using a bunch of the colors if you find like a top 20 or top 50 and it will give folks, like me, a place to start and try some of the better paints in the set. Like Tenebrous Grey from AK is the best :P Just an idea. Since us in this hemisphere don't get sets and have to order singles we could get the color choice we want based on recommendations.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Good idea

[@robdavis3670]

Great to see that Vallejo's new Model Color is excellent. Shame about the washes however. Their sepia wash does the same thing and even worse: it dries a bit glossy (or my pot did).

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Damn, I need to investigate further

[@Ryuondo]

I wonder if the reason the pigments seperating on the wet pallet is because of the water? They have their own thinner medium that the paint might be formulated to use in order to thin and remain in cohesion.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Yes but that's unavoidable using a wet palette

I have the intuition that you are somehow related with the Vallejo brand, so I will understand if you don't answer, but I am curious... how good can be the results mixing just a non pigmented Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, Black and White? I don't mean archieving professional results, but should be "fine" for just enjoying the hobby and have a good time?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

My only relation with them is collaborating with the creation of the Xpress range and thus attending conventions with them. I'm not a Vallejo employee at all and I don't answer to anyone in the company. Now to answer your question. You can most definitely do that and have a good time, you surely have enough examples in the range that are pure enough to do this reliably. That being said I still encourage you to get some secondary tones like a pure red, a nice green, purple etc. Also if that's what you are looking for I suggest looking into Kimera or the new Mindwork Studio KS I announce in this video as they are more aligned with that line or work. But again, if you want to do that with Vallejo you most definitely can

[@juanignacioayalarico9410]

​​@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures I have the Kimera! I can't wait to start with my hobby, but somehow I always find an excuse not too, I think I am afraid of goofing it (I am confident this fears will vanish when I start painting...) Good to know we can talk about any brand in this channel, I was afraid it was sponsored by a specific company... I will definitelly get more colours. There is an emerald green by Green Stuff World that IMHO will look terrific on my Votanns.

Nice review. I have seen some people complaiing about bubbles in these paints when you shake them a bit too vigorously. That wouldn't be a problem on its own, but allegedly, the new polyurethane medium makes popping them quite hard and it can even "trap them" in the paint on the model. I assume you would have mentioned it in the vid if you encountered this fenomenon during the test, but I will ask anyway

[@Elfhelm]

The only time I saw people really running into that issue is when they put ungodly thick layers that when they start levelling, the bubble won’t pop. Generally it’s more of an skill issue, but still, something to keep in mind

The best explanation I can think of is that there are bad batches of these paints, but I sincerely hope Vallejo addresses this at some point.

idk if I'm the only one having problems with the new game color range. The old ones work fine, but the new ones always come with a deadly amount of bubbles in it. I bought 2 bottles each according to my favorite old game colors, and now I can only use them for painting bases.

As you can see I use them perfectly well and have been for years. It's never been an issue for me but try using a softer brush (natural hair) and don't shake the paints. You don't really need to shake them at all.

I've been seeing many complaints about bubbles with the game color and the xpress. First bottle I tried of Game color bubbled

Nope, ak interactive are the best paints

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Excellent for sure

I have scarlet red from game color that I just bought to give them a try again. The coverage I found with the scarlet red was abysmally bad. Someone from one of a hobby store discord servers I'm in said that the new model color paints they bought to try were drying shiny for them. I didn't have that issue with the game color paint I was using. I will say, the flow from the brush is quite good, comparable to Pro Acryl and AK for me.

Red has a bad coverage for every brand

[@lilpain1997]

This is honestly just red in general. Yellow and white are very similar. Takes multiple coats to really get a nice red, yellow or white

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

That's just red, as I say in the video some pigments are transparent and trying to circumvent that turns them desaturated and dull

[@kevinchristoforou1519]

Scarlet red is more of a pure red, these kind of colours are always less opaque.

I mean, because of the problems with game color finish, and it has nothing to do with the preferences...it has been truly horrible and I left my comment in your last, very useful game color review....I can't even give model color a chance until I know Vallejo improves its formula. I hope they do. Until this change, they were my number one favorite paint company since ever. Now, I'm literally picking up Citadel and Army painter over them, and AK is now the favorite range. It is truly a shame. But again, than you for the review, as always.
