not gonna lie, that fum thing actually looked like a good product. i never smoked cigarettes, but i did smoke something else every day for over 10 years and found quitting really, really hard. i switched to a vape which was 100% better than smoking, still not ideal but so much of smoking is the physical habit of having something to pick up like that. i transitioned off the vape too eventually but i wish i had a product like that fum thing instead of the vape i could have used. having something like that to replace the physical action of smoking is such a game changer, and people who smoke should rly be trying to quit it. anyone out there who still smokes i really think they should consider trying that thing out.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

@necalovescake thanks for that, as someone that doesn't smoke and has never smoked y was hesitant as first to promote such product but after a bit of investigation I actually think this is a FANTASTIC product that I'm happy to promote. Thank you very much for that comment, it means more to me than you would imagine.

[@justinleroy4775]

It looks like there's some cracking in several of those hi-res photos?

[@sweatilaa5325]

I like that Vallejo decided to make its own sub-range of Xpress Color to make sure that they all behave the same in each range. That has always been an issue for me with Contrast, and Speedpaints to some extent, that they don't really behave the same throughout the range. Some can be great and easy to use there are also some really thick and difficult to use paints while some are more like a wash. This is very user friendly by Vallejo.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks, that was my idea because I was as frustrated as you are.

[@cjschmeeds]

@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Just curious if you happen to know if the long range plans are to further expand the Xpress Color and/or expand the Intense range?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

@cjschmeeds no, 60 colours is as big as the range will ever be. It's a hard limit due to rack space for the display and because we don't think any more are needed to be honest

[@TheRedBard]

Literally came here to comment this. It belw me away how every single color behaves exactly as I expected and wanted it to. The flow consistency and pigmentation all felt right

[@Imperialguardftw]

​@JuanHidalgoMiniatures any chance you can ask them to make the racks more user friendly😂? Once they get knocked over by customers, it's hard to pick them up

[@millercommamatt]

I'd love to see one or more videos showing how these paints behave over various undercoats (e.g. slapchop, various greys, warm off white, etc...).

Happy to help

[@R4diateur]

Wow! I'm amazed by those. With this Xpress range expansion, Vallejo got rid of the only weakness this range had with it's first wave of release: The lack of colors compared to the Contrast range. Now the Xpress is 59 Colors (60 with the Medium), against 61 Contrast colors for Citadel (62 with Contrast medium). Games Workshop now have something to worry about. Vallejo now plays in the same category of quality as GW, at half the price for the SAME quantity of paint in mL/oZ by pot, AND in dropper bottles. It's not a vulgar copy, it's a much better one. Take that in the bollocks James Workshop!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Lol

[@jimgbrand]

Amazing additions to the range.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks

[@necalovescake]

that landser grey looks fantastic, i can see myself using that as a contrast/glaze/wash for a lot of weathering, basing, scenery etc.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

[@Kazad22]

I must admit that a few months ago I asked in a comment under your video about the color of the feldgrau and you replied that Vallejo would have that color. I am positively surprised that this color was really created by Vallejo. You really know what you're talking about and it's obvious that you work with them on xpress colors. In the age of today's Internet, this is a really sought-after phenomenon. Kind regards.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Of course! I always deliver.

[@Kazad22]

I bought the first Vallejo paint around 2004, I immediately knew that these were paints with a wide range and excellent pigments. I have never been disappointed. When I painted some historical models in recent years, of course, like everyone else, I succumbed to the charms of contrast paints. Unfortunately, the lack of appropriate colors from the "historical" palette meant that I combined my own versions anyway, inks and the Vallejo line of transparent paints helped me a lot in making my own versions of contrast paints. But unfortunately, sometimes the homemade blends weren't as consistent. As soon as I heard about xpress from vallejo, I knew it would be of a high standard and I will not be disappointed. I'm talking from the perspective of an owner of over 25 colors from GW and at least as many from Army Painter. (and all possible xpress versions) I am especially pleased with the fact that Vallejo has not forgotten about players and modellers of historical models and figures. I know, I know, I sound like a paid fanboy 😂😂😂

[@raven1066]

Your first video on the Vallejo Xpress Color range sealed the deal of the original release. Bought them all. And based on this video I’m going to buy this entire expansion to the range. Amazing stuff.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks

[@pv_hobbying]

Please do a follow up video, specifically for the intense colours where you paint space marines in them, maybe with a brush and airbrush, with and without zenithals so we can see how they look. The sons of horus green looks stunning specifically and I really want to see a marine painted up in that.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

I will probably do videos on marines with them but I'm not going to go through all the options, it's too much work

[@steffenseitter4791]

That "Ultra" Blue and "SoH" Turquiose would be nice.@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures

[@pridak4567]

The pure pgmenes of black legion and baal red were amazing in the new contrast line, and was something I was hoping GW would maybe make more of, but i am glad Vallejo has filled that itch. I am hoping these paints come out soon, the window for ordering paints before the weather gets colder in Canada is slowly shrinking.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

I suggest you ask Vallejo directly about that

Man I have been anxiously awaiting these. I can't wait to pick up the range. Citadel has some colours I will always buy, but Vallejo nailing the consistency between all their colours is a huge needle mover for me, and I much prefer a matte finish, so Vallejo wins there as well.

Just watched first part about 24 colors, looks like expansion is huge :X

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

It's massive yeah

[@TheRedBard]

I don't know how you did it but you and them really nailed the formula. Between all the different ranges like citadel and AP, xpress is the one that maintains the same behavior between paints within the line. Every single one behaves exactly as I expect and want it to. Going from 24 colors to 60 blows me away

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks! That was VERY important to us, and the reason why the Intense line exists. I'm very happy it's appreciated

Hola Juan. Gracias por tu video esta genial poder ver los nuevos tonos Xpress así de rápido, enhorabuena. Soy el satisfecho propietario de los 24 primeros, pero no encuentro la tienda que tenga estos nuevos tonos. ¿Están a la venta ya? ¿Donde puedo comprarlos? Gracias y un saludo.

[@OctopusPrime3]

Looking at wave 1 vs. wave 2: 1. What is the difference between Martian orange and chameleon orange? In the video you said chameleon is a reddish orange, but looking at the charts you have made they look very similar. 2. Are the following intense colors similar in hue to some of the regular xpress, just more saturated? seraph red and velvet red legacy blue and omega blue phoenix orange and Martian orange heretic turquoise and snake green dreadnought yellow and nuclear yellow

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

All the colours are different hues, some differ more, some are more similar to others but they are all different. And I say that Chameleon is a yellowish orange, Martian isn't

[@OctopusPrime3]

That black is a perfect black for Ravenguard. Great looking colors!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks

[@JackDespero]

This may be a bit of an overkill, and maybe you have already done it somewhere, but I am in love with your organized chart of applied colours in the drive photos. Would it be possible to have them all combined with the old xpress colours, to create a "chart of purchase"? It is hard to know what colour you want to purchase out of the bottle or square image alone, because when applied they look very different.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

I thought about doing that, but I was too lazy. Follow me on social media because I will probably do it in the near future

[@meetsintaverns5330]

[@carlosnunez3687]

Just as I was a bit critical of Vallejo's decision to bring out a "small" range of Xpress Colors last year, I have to take my hat off to them because with this second batch they have completed the range perfectly. I do miss perhaps a more vivid green in the Intense range but, counting that as a separate range, I see the main Xpress Color range as more than complete enough to paint just about anything an average user like me might need, I can't wait to get my hands on the full range!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Glad you changed your mind

[@alternate3787]

These new colors flipped the switch for me to order some. This Dreadnought Yellow and Phoenix Orange looked great, plus that Mummy White since I use that type of color quite often and always had to mix it myself. I just whished there was an intense dark purple in there, like a "Hivefleet Leviathan in a bottle"

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

There was so much we could do and not all ideas could go in. But I'm glad you liked them

[@alternate3787]

I will try to mix it from Legacy Blue and Seraph Red, maybe Phoenix Orange works for a muted purple. Having the base colors is already great so I see the reasoning

[@nikolaosalexandroskaloumen1693]

I am so happy for this! I am a big fan of Xpress colours, so expanding the range is always a good news. I have couple of questions: 1) What is the purpose of the intense series? Why we wanted to have some colours that don’t have the same properties/results of the original one? 2) In Stahly’s video, you have mentioned that you are working on some things that no other company is doing. Was it the intense series or the new 8 war colours?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

1 - the purpose is we wanted more saturated colours and that comes at the price of a bit worse usability so we divided them to not cause confusion 2 - Sadly those things had to be dropped. They sort of worked but not as well as we hoped for and at some point time just runs out and you have to move forward. One was an amazing cleaner, which would only lift Xpress Color and not regular acrylics allowing you to clean up any mistakes, like an eraser.

Will Vallejo release this second wave as a complete set or pack, or will they sell them separately as they did with the first wave? Of course, having a complete second wave set available for purchase would make things easier (I had to order the original wave adding to my cart one bottle at a time and it was quite tedious). 2.

[@Eschatonin6666]

Fluid Pink and Twilight Rose could work well for 40k Emperors Children (may the rumours of a range refresh be true. Also individual choice in colours are encouraged in their lore so any or all pink is great for them). If you were painting some kind of Perfect Cell (Dragon Ball Z) model, a thinned Wicked Purple would be your friend for getting his greys perfect (pun). Starship Steel and Iceberg Grey, and Viking Grey could work well for variations of Tau skin, and Iceberg could be great for Vespids. Heretic Turquoise could maybe work for Alpha Legion over a leadbelcher prime?

Wow! Amazing (and very necessary) additions. Great video, Juan! 🙌 Preorder done 😅

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

YEAH

[@IPrint3dMinis]

This is amazing, thanks so much for going over each color. TBH I think these will make a great addition to my paint sets.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Happy to help

Buenas! Me preguntaba si puedes utilizar Xpress Medium con pinturas normales para crear un efecto similar. Saludos!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

No, no funciona así. Puedes conseguir efectos curiosos pero la mayoría de los colores que puedes comprar no tiñen lo suficiente

[@jaimiting]

@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Muchas gracias por tu respuesta, ya miraré que puedo hacer para obtener un resultado similar.

I gotta get Fairy Skin xpress color right away. I just bought a bunch of pig-faced orcs from Warp. a dab of Fairy Skin will go right on the snout/nostrils. all the colors look great so I will buy them all. Tanned Skin and Mahogany look like the weakest offerings but... Mahohgany looks like a great color for finished wood, a cane, staff or music instrument.

I personally love them all but each person has a different taste

Lovely video Juan. I had avoiding buying any of these Vallejo Xpress line...but now I'm not sure I can as they look so smooth with such a clean finish. What are the drying times like? Similar to GW Contrast or a touch slower?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

A fair bit slower

[@cjschmeeds]

@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Which is something I really enjoy about them.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

It's the best feature, they feather out SO WELL because of that property that you can make effortless transitions like a dream

[@sharonmazor9531]

Thank you for the video, when it will be available and by any chance it will be bundled at amazon and not sold separately? 😅

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

October and no idea, ask Vallejo

[@Zodiac8871]

Will they be offering these in an all-in-one set without the original 24? So we can get them easier and have a nice carry case!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

No idea, you have to ask Vallejo directly

Anyone know when the expansion will be released in the US? I would love to use the Heretic Turquoise on some Legion Imperialis
