[@migelsker]

So disappointed ind you

[@PatrickUser]

Congrats, you've made it! 🎉

[@organicod2438]

🤢

[@whyidontwant2723]

Being sponsored by raid is nothing to be proud of. You will definitely be looked down on because of this.

[@FSDraconis]

@@whyidontwant2723 To be fair, it pays the bills. I doubt he lied when he said "it is fun to play for a few minutes".

[@MathewunnamedWeymouth]

Ninjon is the Alton Brown of Mini-Painting. And this is the Highest of compliments.

[@Glennsights]

Avoid the unitaskers.

[@brendanarmstrong7802]

I feel like Miniac used to very deliberately ape Alton Brown's style. Pulling out illustrative charts and giving a basic overview of the physical processes in things like airbrushing. I kind of miss that, but I guess there's only so much you can go over in that style.

[@Scherdnr]

But Alton Brown hates single use tools and Jon loves them!

[@brendanmartin3359]

That is a perfect analogy, no wonder I’ve always liked Ninjon so much haha

[@patc6099]

That's a great way to put it

[@zramirez5471]

The best thing my FLGS did was to bring in ProAcryl, specifically the Ninjon and VincieV custom colors - seriously, you guys are amazing. PS, I'll be cosplaying as Darrell at Adepticon next year.

[@nathanlovin]

That's hilarious. I thought the Darrell bit was particularly good this time.

[@Thornspyre81]

I wish mine did, but I was happy to order them direct from their site.

[@ovan2190]

Paints are one of those things that you know you don't need but when you see a brand you haven't tried or a color you like but from a diffent brand you just want to try them and getting one or two isn't satisfying enough Makes me feel better about my paint racks though This was a fun video :)

[@ArcticonComp]

I'm like the anti of this. Been painting since early 1990s. Always got rid of old ranges, when I moved on. The last time was from Vallejo (minus the metallics) to Kimera. I donated all of my working Vallejos to a friend. I now have just a few focused specials from Golden and other manufacturers. The only thing I haven't gotten rid of is original Citadel washes from the late 1990s (if memory serves), but I rarely use them now, as Kimera and Golden do it for me. It's exactly as you said, an artsy way of painting, but it works for me (I have about 35 years of painting with water colours now, so).

[@nicholasshaw4658]

Two Thin Coats are my current go to for almost anything I'm painting unless I have a pro acryl equivalent. Great colors similar to citadel but in a much better dropper bottle and a better price for what you get. I have wanted to try AK paints but they are not easy to track down here in Maine.

[@KmcK]

Same. I just got both waves of TTC, in addition to my pro acryls and my inks. Quite happy

[@joegkushner]

Michigan Toy Soldier has the AK paints AND they often have weekend sales. Might be good to wait for one of those sales and use that new coupon. They also have a ton of art books and other tools.

[@hobbyhermit]

As someone who use Scalecolor artist range in almost every project i like that i know what consistency im getting every time and dont have to violently shake my bottles before every use.

[@derekgarcia3069]

I have the full range but have barely touched them yet. The first try was a bust so went back to ProAcryl for now. I need to sit down and work with them and learn to use them. My main goal with them was to actually use them thicker and go for more of a sketch/"painterly" style, but also need more practice for that. Also they have some amazing colours!

[@hobbyhermit]

@@derekgarcia3069 they definitely require a little more work to make right. I would watch some Craftworld Studio videos they are big users of that range.

[@81724390]

I cannot second this enough. Scalecolor's Artist Smooth range are the only paints I own (including Warcolours, Citadel, Golden, AK, Vallejo, and Daler Rowney) that transfer/blend so smoothly right out of the tube that it's almost like I can feel it *through* the brush (in a good way!) They're like painting with butter (again, in a good way!) Their only downside is that you can't-or at least shouldn't attempt to-airbrush them.

[@Scherdnr]

Yeah I really like the ability to completely control the dilution of my paint for what I need. You can always thin a paint but you can’t “thick” one!

[@redrooster7371]

​@@derekgarcia3069give them a try. I find the best way to use them is to 'massage' your thinner or water into the paint on wet palette. They have a lot of fine pigment and this needs to get flowing.

[@KmcK]

First time seeing the new tattoo - looks sick! You got some great work there 🖤

[@sirrathersplendid4825]

I’m not sure ‘sick’ is a complement. Tattoos are great - especially if you’re a pirate or an inmate in a Russian prison.

[@RuthlessMojo]

I have spent a lot of time and money collecting various acrylics, oils, acrylic and alcohol inks, powder pigments, pastels and acrylic paint pens whilst preparing to setup my own hobby channel. But the thing I have invested the most in is creating my own line of paints, contrast paints, washes (oil and acrylic) and effects paints. My channel will be focused on budget DIY solutions for the hobby sphere. Creating my own paints allows me to perfect and tailor my paints to my liking.

[@MarcinEstkowski]

The more paints I own, the worse I feel about not painting as much as I should. This is a good enough reason for me to buy more and more paints! And I'm jealous of your 1700+ pretty paints!

[@Zambies]

And I thought I was a huge paint goblin . Seriously, I love collecting paint, any color that is pretty, I want it. We are like dragons and paint is our treasure hoard. Also nice new tat

[@bargeryfamily]

Please do a video on paint racks. You have so many different types. I am sure it would be a fascinating journey.

[@nathanelacey]

I would love to see you try reaper miniatures paint in a video. They are consistently my favorite!

[@hav6301]

I absolutely love the AK 3rd gen, Ive been transitioning to them from Vallejo Model Color, only downside is that the dropper part of the bottles almost always cracks and makes a mess. Some vibrant colors for the new Vallejo Game Color are pretty cool, and the Xpress line although small in range, is great and dries very mat. Vallejo also has a less known range, Mecha Colors, intended for airbrush, but the steel metallics work wonder by brush, their primmers are nice too, a bit satin. You have some hidden gems too in the Vallejo Airbrush paints, such as a Black Metallic.

[@nameisbad]

AK 3rd gem, Kimera and scale 75 are all people need. I legit vouch by that. AK 3rd gen is like other stuff but ten times better. kimera is just very solid for what it does and scale 75 is different yet excellent when mastered, beyond anything imo. (scalecolor i'm talking about mainly).

[@SigurdDecroos]

Golden SoFlat has more colors now, I love that paint :). Have you tried the new Vallejo Game colors? Their new formula paints like a breeze, I'm quite impressed tbh.

[@stephensimpson881]

Came here to say this. They’re at 60 colors now, I think.

[@getterkaiserz]

ive found it a bummer they dropped some of my favorite colors in the reformulation. almost the entirety of the heavy range got cut.

[@TylerProvick]

I keep a spare, unopened pot for all my paints, so if I run-out mid session I know there's always a replacement at hand. Now, I exclusively use Kimera, so that's just 13 extra pots.

[@held5652]

Scalecolor heavy body paints are actually my favourite mini paints. I do a lot of colour mixing and they have the best magenta I've found. I'm honestly at the point where Id rather thicker paints. It just works better for how I paint. and for airbrushing I still go back to army painter paints.

[@donbeyer5074]

Michigan Toy Soldier is my go to.

[@aristotle29]

I feel like I would get decision fatigue when trying to paint with this many paints. Which is why I've given away 90% of my paints. I kept my inks and artist paints for airbrushing, and a set of craft paints for dry brushing or terrain making. All of my other paints are artist oil paints. Oil paints have made me enjoy painting because acrylic paints were not super fun (if you aren't having fun painting, try oils. they are so much fun to paint with).

[@thinkabouthelogic]

I think that's why most of them just sit on the wall. I think he probably uses about 50-75 of them. :)

[@Sarah-zb5it]

I watched this just before going to Michigan Toy Soldier, and still ended up buying more paints than I planned on.

[@ScaleCreep]

You sir, are not alone. I have at least 6 different paint ranges ( a few here , a whole range there etc.), and a large-ish double door closet filled with models( mostly Tank models as that was the last obsession). I will say , 3d printing has saved me from being buried under a "Tsunami of Grey". Now I just have to save up for a 10Tb RAID server to hold all the "Digital Grey" that I have. I think I still have a kidney left...

[@Zeblab42]

Fellow paint hoarder here. I find myself migrating towards the Scale 75 Artist colours more and more. Yes, they have to be thinned down, but BUT!. If you are like me and only have about 30min per day for painting, they hold up SUPER well on the wet palette. I load my palette for the week on Monday, and by Sunday, they are just the right consistency for those final glazes. No other brand comes close in this regard. It also helps that they mix well due to the limited pigments.

[@wittlegoblin]

I find myself reaching for paints from your Pro Acryl signature series SO often. Also phew, I really need to organize my paints better.

[@michal8730]

I love using ScaleColor Artist paints. They have amazing matte finish, lovely colours, and they mix nicely. And the biggest advantage for me is that I don't have to shake them. I injured my hand a few years ago and if I overwork it, it hurts and I can't paint. Not having to shake bottles (and things like vibrating shakers are not any better for me) extends the time I can paint by a lot. So I almost exclusively paint with the ScaleColor Artist paints and don't mind having to thin them down. It helped me learn what consistencies I like for painting.

[@stephenjohnston7630]

Ninjon never less than watchable. You can tell the confidence he has in the interest of his audience by the way he gets his full sponsor messaging done before he even gets going. And he's right.

[@snellface]

The biggest upside to tube paints is that you don't get air into your paint when used. Bottle paint will dry in the pot faster and faster the less paint remains. If i had the option all my paints would come in tubes since most paints needs to be thinned anyways.

[@Fidens1]

Challenge! Paint a huge model/diorama using as many colors as possible.

[@thomasjoyce1765]

Yep, you´re not the only paint hoarder Jon. I also love the way you´ve organised them (nothing wrong with a little OCD). Great video!

[@justanothercaptain6566]

So glad to see I am not the only one with a horde of paints on my desk. I thought I was bad with 356 paints and counting. It’s so bad I use the app “Model Colors”on my iPhone so don’t buy doubles. Works with my tracking my pile of shame too! 😂

[@jonathanordidge5338]

Nearly died to you showing us “Kevin” the paint 😂😂

[@cliffwood7386]

This does make me feel better about my (much smaller) paint collection! Even if you don't use them, I think it's still pretty cool to have as a collection.

[@ObsidianCrane]

The AK Interactive "Anime Figures" set is a great starter for their paints, grab some of that Vallejo Aluminium and you're good to go for a lot of painting. Though I do love the Vallejo Express colours: Cardinal Purpple, Gloomy Violet, Plasma Red and Mystic Blue and my Citadel Garaghak's Sewer and Black Legion are always at hand. I'm also a big fan of Reaper's Polished Bone, Aged Bone, Blonde Traid set and Fair Flesh traid, the last of which works great with GW's Seraphim Sepia. And I definitely don't have your paint problem, but then I haven't collected sets because someone sent them to me either. :)

[@duff3176]

Super helpful thanks for throwing this up.

[@suchanjv]

I'm just glad there's people with larger hoards than me. I was tempted to back the recent UltraKryl Kickstarter, but denied myself after realizing I just backed 5 full different sets on various Kickstarters over 2 years and still have only used about 5% of them. I wonder what Vincent V and Barbatos Rex hoards look like? They must have rooms full.

[@joegkushner]

I didn't back that one due to the timeline. 2024 isn't that far away but I have enough paints to last me until '24 and if I hear good things about them, I'll pick them up off the rack.

[@millerdm1]

Your finally getting that sleeve work done!!! It is looking good! Also paints and stuff.

[@doomrooster]

P3 paints are so good. Their ink range is still to this day my absolute favorite. They are also impossible to find.

[@KireektheAndroid]

That new tattoo looks awesome. Very helpful video, as always. Keep up the great work.

[@SeppukoGaming]

Daryll got the facts straight... this is an intervention, Jon!

[@loupiscanis9449]

Thank you , Jon . 🐺 Loupis Canis .

[@npc-sanwashoi4626]

I can so relate to this. I’m still a fledgling painter so I’m still building up my paint collection. one of my other passions is collecting fountain pens so I’ve accrued inks that’ll last me for generations already. Purples are nice

[@kevinmyers6747]

A buddy of mine tries out all different kinds of paints. He sends me care packages of assorted paints every once in a while😂 I love trying out new paints!

[@zombie221]

I love trying new paints! Right now my to-try list has AK interactive, speedpaint 2.0, and kimera! Got my start with Citadel paints and I've tried a bunch of things. I have the full range of ProAcryl and looooove working with them. I didn't know how much I prefer working with matte paints until I tried them!

[@pat0652]

I love these simple videos on paint ranges. Everything like this gets saved in a hobby list.

[@mattmckay97]

This makes me feel slightly better about my overflowing paint racks. I'm a sucker for Scale 75 and AK, I'm currently using the Scale 75 Artist acrylics on a little Butterfly-Frog and I love how easily and smoothly they mix.

[@galatician8063]

@Ninjon - Would love to know more about your paint racks! Especially those that would fit Reaper / AK. They look like 3d print. I cut alot of PVC pipe to create vertical storage. Cheap but gets old. Thanks for your Proacryl set btw. They have more paints in their range hitting retail real soon so you'll need more room for them. I do love P3 but only have an armful. Just got some army painter. Not what I expected and dissapointed. I don't think I will ever be a speedpainter!

[@Greger88]

I bought the Kimera Cartacci Red yesterday and the seller I bought from had both sets of paint and single paints. Thanks for going through all of your paints and giving some info and your thoughts on them so we can decide what colors to buy.

[@djsaunter]

Pretty much my same favorite Pro Acryl paints, except for ivory and magenta. I love sneaking in magenta when I can, especially in contrast to the jade. But ivory was the first bottle of their paint I needed to replace, I tend to use it instead of white 90% of the time I want white. I also found myself using the transparent orange a lot more often than I expected.

[@tdholman]

Thanks for the great videos and sharing your love and knowledge of painting and paints. I have both Two Thin Coats sets, a bunch of Army Painter, Vallejo, Pro Acryl (including yours and Vince's sets), a few reaper paints, war colours, huge miniatures, GSW and AK interactive. My total is no where near yours, but I have a fairly eclectic collection. My favorites right now are Two Thin Coats and Pro Acryl. Honestly have not tried the War Colours or AK interactive yet, bought them for a specific project that has been printed and primed, but I have not started painting yet. I gave all my Citadel to my wife for her to use because I cannot stand the paint pots and don't want the hassle of transferring them.

[@chriscrellin7144]

Great video I am in the uk and managed to get my hands on your pro Acryl signature range its frickin awsome !!

[@ctpopham]

Dude. I thought I was the only one that was a paint hoarder. Awesome video. Keep them coming

[@thisoldwarhammer]

this is one of those areas that I can relate to.... I probably have too many paints... but I do enjoy trying new paints and seeing how they do... and thanks for making me feel a bit more normal...

[@SP3NCE]

thanks for the tips!

[@emilykhan8706]

I love this episode! I collect paints simply because I am curious about the properties of different ranges, and if a paint shows up on someone's "best of" list, then I have to check that one out also. I do have a lot of heavy bodied paints from Scale and from Golden, which I bought with the goal of creating actual surface texture and visible brush strokes. i could probably omit those paints and simply add a heavy medium to my regular paints instead.

[@metajock]

I've got a lot of paints, but they're almost all Reaper. Where my hoarding comes in are the minis with around 14K total. (Been collecting since 1972.) A lot of old lead in on my shelves.

[@TheSianFromAtlantis]

"Goddammit, Darryl." 😂

[@bakamaru3867]

This had the unintended effect of making me want more paint... Damnit Jon!

[@jonasang9676]

I paint most of my minis in oils but I quite liked Scale 75 artist ones. They behaved like I wanted paints to do on a wet palette.

[@Hades-Abyss]

I love the honest opinion about the paints. I have been wanting to try several of those name brands. Definitely helped shorten my list of brands I want to try and opened my eyes to a few new ones 😅😅

[@weissaa13]

This makes my plastic tub of paints look like a good start. Damn brother!

[@-Westfold-]

Love the channel, love the painting, keep it up champ!

[@j-vlog002]

I love how you broke down the pros and cons, what to keep and what not to keep. I live in Japan so some of these things are not available here. Have you ever heard or used Turner Acrylic? They come in those tubes and was curious about them as I will soon be starting my painting adventure.

[@bloodlust9290]

Here's a challenge, paint something with as many colors as you can while maintaining expression and detail. I am curious to see how many colors can be used on one miniture.

[@mdono9]

Thanks for reminding me about your's and Vince's paint sets. Just picked them up.

[@ivanrosa405]

I haven't found a color like your Pro acryl Dark Plum in YEARS. So glad I have that color in my repertoire again.

[@brokenheroics8223]

Honest and blunt about the paint ranges. I love it.

[@billdefranza4927]

YAAS! RAID Shadow Legends sponsorship! That's like when a band gets goofy covered by Weird Al; now you know you've made it. 🎉

[@aaronbono4688]

There's the challenge, paint something with EVERY paint bottle you have! "Look, it's OK I have all these paints, see I use them."

[@glynfordgrind-artcabarse588]

thanks for sharing and nice tats!

[@wpb5876]

Nice new arm tat! And Great video as always

[@planktonic-larvae]

The AK 3rd gen paints are what I started with a few years ago and I love them, they always seem to work exactly how I want them to and the colour range is so damn good! I just picked up the basic starter set for my little girl and the packaging for the box is outstanding, it provides a colour wheel and they have explanations for all kinds of things like primary/secondary/complementary colours and tips on how to mix them to achieve the colours you want, I think it's gonna be a great little resource for her.

[@zousssnotzeus5341]

i started hobbying 6 months ago and ive become a paint goblin ever since and i this is like looking at a future i aspire to be

[@jetswift]

Awesome. You're not alone, I think everyone in the hobby has more than they need and regularly use. I have recently purchased the entire Two Thin Coats range, cos they're awesome. I have the basic Kimera set. A large box of vallejo air. and a shed load of citadel. So maybe 300 paints? I'll count them one day when I'm bored and procrastinating.

[@skynes]

I aspire to your paint collection and I say that unironically. I love getting more paints, I love trying new brands, seeing how they work, what I like and don't like. I don't mind paying the cash for it, cause I've probably spent far more on ordered food that arrived cold or bland, or went to the cinema to see movies I didn't like. So yeah I'll drop a few quid on a bottle of paint to try it out! Right now I use a spectrum of acrylics, enamels, and oils. Inks, and fluorescents. Such a broad selection from different brands, to produce what I like to see on my minis.

[@chadkittleson5447]

I own the entire Monument collection as my base, then I get some recommended paints from other ranges to fit specific purposes. One I love is Snakebite Leather Contrast from citadel.

[@derekwray2486]

I have more of a paint problem than a plastic problem too, I have yet to try a few of the ranges you reviewed but im looking forward to picking up my first couple bottles of pro acryl soon

[@benelgermosen]

Cosigning the Golden Soflat. Great paints to use.

[@ipwndcancer]

I have to say, the new formulation & bottles for Vallejo Game Color have been perfection for me. The new VGC Dead White gives Pro Acryl's Titanium White a run for its money!

[@max-from-the-mini-mines]

very generous to say 'thanks for not judging me' XD

[@StrickenBiged]

Nice new tattoo. I look forward to seeing a close up when you’re back at the table.

[@johnwilde5257]

Entertaining and informative per usual. Thank you! I am sure you have enough suggestions about cool projects, but I think it would be awesome if you made a series of videos on a duel of some sort (inquisitor vs demon or some other rival) where you spend a video make the two fighting and then a video describing the painting process (especially OSL for the two different models with their different base tones and textures reflected from the same light source). Just a thought.

[@marcdeschamps9059]

Sick new sleeve man!

[@dork.knight]

Question about the so-flat, I think some of their colors, like yellow from the box set, use toxic pigments. Have you ever seen this as being a problem for anyone beyond maybe avid-brush-lickers? Like for playing and etc.

[@adamtomlinson918]

I was a pure citadel guy for years. it's what I learned on and knew colors for. but my flgs has ak and man it's become my go to. so smooth, so matte, but coverage is great.

[@derekgarcia3069]

This was a great video. I also have a bit of a problem being mostly allin on ProAcryl and the Scalecolor Artist Range (plus Metal and Alchemy now, lol). Ive actually been planning tobgrab the AK Pastel and Fluo boxes to use primarily for highlights and such...also maybe theur metals and you and Scott soeak so highly of them. Hmm...guess i have a problem too!

[@JackDespero]

You have Citadel hexpads, the new version, with the fancy latcht on top. That still is the new version of Citadel paints for me. I have the full collection of hexpads with screw tops.

[@adwag3573]

Mad respect for shouting out Pro Acryl Mahogany! You are a true believer!

[@Vkandis72]

I enjoy collecting paint as well. Probably what kicked off my desire for more paints was finding a great deal of the entire Reaper Core Colors range about four years ago. Since then added the following ranges: Reaper Bones, AK Gen 3, Scale Artists and Instant Colors and new Vallejo Game Color and Express paints. Have many from other ranges like Citadel, ProAcryl and SoFlat and about 100 oils.

[@ImperiusRexFilms]

Really great stuff as always. Between this and your latest "cleaning house" vid, it's great to learn from someone who has tried soooo many paints out there. I've started looking at AK and Pro Acryl only, and it's overwhelming! You mentioned in this vid that you could probably get away with 25-30 paints from AK and be set...care to make a vid about those 25-30 paints? Amazing stuff sir!

[@brendanarmstrong7802]

You know damn well we're all buying paints we don't need to fill the void when we don't have the time or energy to paint with what we already have. That ending question is just a trick to drive more engagement.

[@KaptajnCongoboy]

My LGS thankfully stocks p3 paints and the local hobby store just started taking in AK, so perhaps I shall increase my range there with this recommendation :) I also love the Pro Acryl Transparents.

[@marcoghiotti7153]

I agree with your stand on AK interactive. Most consistent major paint line in the market. I adore their intense colours. I'll try the pastel tubes then. Cheers

[@ionminiatures]

When I received my Wave 1 TTC paints, I gave my corresponding Citadel colours to a friend of mine. Waiting on Wave 2 to arrive now.

[@HDubwub]

I only have one paint set and honestly it gets tiring mixing colors sometimes, but I really like not having to go through a million different bottles to find what I want. It's also nice to know exactly how a paint is going to behave when I use it

[@IBPaintsppp-wt5ou]

Nice, I use a mix of Vallejo model color, Pro-Acryl, Citadel contrast, Valleoj metal color, Daller-Rowley inks, and a little Citadel.

[@AzaMinis]

Thank you for making me feel better about the size of my paint collection 😆

[@shinshenmichailovich7711]

I'm so glad, that me and my friend aren,t the only ones who buys every paint range they can. Also glad to hear a good words about AK paints and Creed Camo contrast

[@user-ph6dq6iu4e]

I am new to painting minis and started with vallejo but recently a friend pointed me towards Holbien acrylic gauche which comes in tubes but is beautiful

[@blakearius]

I think the only thing to note with more professional acrylics is they need to be watered down more or maybe use a medium.

[@TheBackwoodsboy95]

Great vid! Any way you could detail your thinning process for the 3rd gen ak colors? I love brush painting them but ive had issues i dont run into with other brands when i try to airbrush them.

[@ramza813]

Always wondered about that kickstarter paint that was on your shelf last year. thanks for the honesty.

[@alancook1053]

You are in good company!! Keep Darryl in your family! 😂
