Duncan's Paints Are Coming HARD at Games Workshop

[@bogatyr2473]

There is absolutely nothing wrong with being "Same colors as GW but better, cheaper, and in dropper bottles," because that's all some of us want.

Just FYI, Scottish laws prohibit the purchase and ownership of "souvenir plots" like established titles offer, not only that, owning such a plot of land does nothing to qualify you for lordship. So essentially everything established titles claims is a lie, and they're also owned by a Chinese company specialising in internet scheme companies. You're basically buying an NFT, minus the non-fungible part, and it gives you no new legal rights what so ever. :P

Hey dude, just wanna say, established titles is a chinese company using the "souvenir land" scam and you legally own no land, and legally do not classify as a lord, neither do they provide proof of any reforestation, as they don't prove donations, and their plots are on protected forests already. Remember to always exercise due diligence when accepting sponsors.

[@justarandomname420]

Transferring paints from pots to dropper bottles is a pain. That savings proposition in itself is quite valuable!

[@thetabletopsupershow3670]

I have liked the colors I have tried out so far. The consistency is solid between hues and lies somewhere between MSP and Citadel. The Triads are not complimentary as you yourself stated especially when compared to Reaper's triad system which is. Leadbelcher is a tiny bit darker when compared to TTC's silver metallic shade color as I discovered in my own unboxing/comparison video of this KS. My plan to really put these through the paces is going to be using the entire set to tackle a few dozen Battletech minis to a high tabletop standard. Because of the many sharp edges on these minis I will better be able to gauge how they handle. Thanks for the always interesting content dude!

[@AndyAlert]

Do not be duped by those bogus "Scottish Title" certificates. You are not known as a lord or lady, there is no ancient Scottish custom, and you certainly do NOT own any land! See Section 22 of the Land Registration (Scotland) Act 2012 which specifically precludes the registration of souvenir plots, and in Scotland if the plot isn't registered in your name you do not own it. All you are paying for is a made up title that no one will recognise and a fancy bit of paper that has no legal meaning.

[@SquareViking]

I love how Auspex Tactics said the face of the Demon Prince looked super derpy, and here we have J-brush making a menacing face. It's all about the paintjob!

[@matan8074]

Have to agree, GW has a number of models which would look a lot better with a different paint job. On the other hand they have some models where the paint job is so good you can't judge how good the model itself is.

[@jakea3950]

Which one? They have like 4 or 5 heads. I'm sure people will find some derby and others tasteful to them.

[@SquareViking]

@@jakea3950 If memory serves then the one Ninjon ended up doing is the one that people find derpy, according to AT.

[@SquareViking]

@@matan8074 So true. I remember when Lelith's new model came out and how people thought she looked ugly and stupid. That was until someone other than the box-artist did a paintjob on the model. I'm an absolute amature, but I know that a little change in colour and highlights can mean a world of difference.

[@accountnamewithheld]

Auspex doesn't exactly have the highest quality opinions on youtube.

[@ianlacey6588]

I have tried the paints. They are quite nice. What I really liked are the accessories, especially the colour wheel tied to triads within the paint set. If you are in to Colour Theory, or want to look beyond the individual triads this helps a lot.

It's nice to see a more affordable paint line that is using colors matched to Games Workshop, this will give WH mini painters more options. Plus it does seem like a nice line of paints. Personally going to stick with my favorites, but this looks good for folks just starting out too as they are nice dropper bottles, and the colors seem spot on.

I got this paint set as well and I have to agree with the review overall. They are quite good and the dropper bottles with pre-loaded mixing balls are excellent. They aren't going to unseat Golden SOFLAT or ProAcryl for me as my preferred paint but they are going to take the place of Citadel and Reaper as those pots/bottles run out.

So, I just got kicked from the new Wave 2 kickstarter for criticizing the way they handled Tax. There was a small notice at the very bottom of the campaign. They did not apply tax when you pledged, instead they added 20% when you went to the backer portal and were paying for postage. I, as well as many others, were not happy about this and expressed our displeasure in the comments. Instead of talking to me and expaining or sorting the problem. They just fully kicked me from the campaign. This is terrible behaviour from this company. I will never buy these paints again.

[@charliecoke7396]

For the most part seems like a fairly lacklustre paintrange, especially since out here in Canada we don't generally get products outside vallejo and Citadel, at least in my area, so even price wise DR paints will probably end up around the same price, but to be able to get an equivalent to the old agrax earthshade is something I'm very excited for as a Death Guard painter.

[@ptg2662]

I'm a begginer , and of course one of the first questions - which paint brand to choose. Now my birthday is approaching and my lady asked me - which set of paint I would like as a BD gift. At first I wanted to choose the megaset from Army Painter ( you get so many colours for a good price, 4,5 stars on Amazon in the UK for most of their smaller paint sets) , but decided to wait at least for a few days, to make a more balanced decision . After reading a lot of forums 2 names interested me, the Pro Acryl and Two Thin Coats. Honestly I went for the Pro Acryl just because the price per ml was better ( new/old 22ml bottles), plus good reviews on the net. And as for the Two Thin Coats the main downsaid rather than the price was the fact that they are a new brand, with limited supplies in Europe, I dont like the idea that I will have any sort of trouble with getting new paints when I need them. And yeah, most ppl recommend to start with just few paints and so on, this is a very progmatic and good advice, the problem with me is - I like to have full range at my disposal, just to overpay for the delivery ( postage) of 1-2 bottles that I will need, and oh I forgot, I need that bottle aswell, you know , I hate it ;D Also i've noted that they had 2 signature collections from 2 artists, before I had no Idea who they were, lol , but now that I've watched some of their videos, in some time I will 100% buy both sets, beautifull colours.

Dunc's paints are the best I've used yet, and I can't wait till they sell or kick a basing/technical/wash set. I'd buy/back another kit in a heartbeat. There were about 8 to 16 colors I'd like to have had to flesh out the set that I felt were missing but as a first-time product with all the difficulty involved and all the extras that were not required it's a fabulous paint line and I'm happy it popped on my FB feed one day with 2 hrs left for the special. The colors I felt missing I do have in GW and AP, but still looking fwd to the TTC's line growing.

[@aristotle29]

While I only started painting minis this year, I looked at many videos on how to paint dragons when I had a dragon mini that I wanted to paint. I tried two different methods, airbrushing the highlight color and then using oil paints to blend and create shadows, and I also tried airbrushing the base layer and then dry brushing everything else the way Artis Opus does wings. The dry brushing method turned out way better. It was faster and easier, and I ended up with a more highly detailed dragon, plus the blends from shadow to light and from one color to another were awesome.

[@thomascruise4966]

I really love watching your videos, you even found a way to make showing wet blending easy enough I’m not scared to try it one of these days.

[@travelminipainter]

Hey Jon, Nice and balanced review of the paint range. You have correctly pointed out the good points as well as the flaws of the paint range. I did not back it myself for the same reasons as you. And I think your analysis is spot on. The paint range is clearly positioned as a direct GW rival, and it is a beginner painter paint set, for people that don't want to bother learning about colour theory and mixing their own colours with pure pigment colours to start with. Oh, they are actually more expensive than Citadel paints. Retail Citadel for 12 ml base/layer paints = 2,75 GBP or +- 239 GBP per litre. Retail Two Thin Coats for 15 ml = 3,95 GBP or +- 263 GBP per litre. So the TTC paints are roughly 13% more expensive in the UK compared to Citadel. That mileage may vary depending on location and currency conversion. But here comes another thing I have to say though. *** Tongue in cheek alert *** *** Wink *** *** Humor mode ON *** As chance wills it, I listened to the latest episode of "Trapped Under Plastic" just before watching this video. In there you were referring to the JH vs. SB "controversy", "drama", call it what you want. So I can't help but wonder whether you should not have disclosed at the beginning of this video, that you are working for Army Painter as part of the paint development team right at this moment... don't you tink? Be aware! SB might be coming for ya! *** Humor mode OFF *** *** Looking straight ahead *** *** Tongue returns to normal spot in mouth *** Keep up the nice work. I really do enjoy your videos.

For the record: 1) Ninjon makes great videos about painting miniatures, 2) Established titles can't actually make you a "Lord" or "Lady" in Scotland. The Lord Lyon King of Arms in Scotland keeps track of all titles in Scotland for the King and this does not make the grade. However, if you buy a couple of bottles of fine Laphroaig whisky they will make you the landowner of a square foot of land on Islay and will pay you a yearly rent of one dram. All you have to do is collect it in person.
