Vallejo Color Changing Paints are Wild! - Viewing of the Shifters Sets

[@swordnsteele712]

This video has been reinstated! Thank you so much to everyone who reached out to help make this happen!! Thank you, Green Stuff World, for retracting the copyright claim as requested and giving me a public apology. I have adjusted the name and the thumbnail to show the new name of these Vallejo paints.

[@dr.v645]

I am glad that GSW seems to have apologized as well. They seem to have realized that this was a mistake. Good luck with your channel!

[@JackW3ird]

Awesome glad a company came to it's sense and realized you were not doing anything wrong and should not be punished for it.

[@Anjohl]

Great news!

[@Belgianbanshee]

Glad for you!! I'm also glad that GSW saw the error of their ways. I came very close to remove account with them.

[@Geerladenlad]

Win win win!!

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

I am very pleased to see this video restored.

[@thevoidire]

This is really cool... I'm pretty sure Sword 'n' Steele came up in my recommended feed because I was watching Black Magic Craft :)

[@johnsmith-mi2uc]

i just recieved a pack of Magic Dust paint from a friend. she is not into painting minis at all and got it for me as a gift. she did lots of research to find me paints, and is now hooked on to you channel because to her, you have and ASMR voice and listens in because you help her sleep lol!

[@jonb1172]

This is the best review I've seen for colourshift paints so far, hands down. I love that you actually explain the principle of direct/indirect transitions before demonstrating each colour shift properly! Very comprehensive and informative, thank you :) Filming this must have taken ages! I've used the GreenStuffWorld chameleon paints a fair bit and will almost certainly be adding these to my collection. Hope you had a great Christmas and looking forward to seeing how your channel grows in the new year :)

[@FatPeanutsFat]

have you had a chance to compare these to the GSW chameleon paint?I'm interested in both but I wondered if there was any difference between the two in quality

[@murphy7801]

These in-depth reviews of colour shift paints is so useful

[@johntakacs9441]

So glad that GSW got their heads out of their butts and took the ban down. It's amazing how much this community helps each other. Great vid as well! I could easily see these on Eldar vehicles.

[@idontwanttopickone]

The Magic Dust range would be really good for armour on a Warhammer Slaneesh army. Especially the violet and pink ones. I can also see these paints working well for Tyranid players. Very helpful video.

[@cJunNnKinase]

I was sceptical when i first heard of it, now that i can see the results, it looks awesome.

[@duffduff4948]

Well... it appears we all survived the festivities :) what could be better than a paint review, thank you.

[@alphaleigpyne]

This is one of the early videos I've first heard about you before I joined this platform. It was one of the recommended channels based on watching Warhammer. I've seen a few colour paints that I'll want to try out when I get a couple of the packs. This is a good review of the metallic dust paints. Thank you for showning me what they look like afterwards, it makes my choices easier. 👍

[@rustedbeetle]

Glad that this was worked out. GSW really overstepped themselves. I am buying one of the Vallejo sets tonight, just need to figure out which one.

[@HeroesBosses]

Wow! I've never seen anyone show the colors shift before, just still photos. Very cool.

[@Crabbok]

I'm very glad to see that this was resolved. Excellent review!

[@swordnsteele712]

Merry Christmas to you too, and Happy New Year!! :D

[@arx1381]

Really interesting video. I do not own an airbrush yet so it was good to see the hand painted. I think you should experiment with both the airbrush and hand painting some Stormcast Eternal armour and a few Necron parts. The gloss black tyranid was beautifully eye catching and I liked it. A.

[@CaptMike]

Glad your video was reinstated. I stumbled across your channel and subscribed. I really don't understand what happened in the first place. In every video I make and post I usually have a product I bought for the purpose and show it in the video (also mention it by name). I guess it is the luck of the draw. Keep up the good work.

[@Machinationstudio]

Watching all the versions of this video in full to bump up your analytics. Hang in there!

These look excellent for Eldar or Harlequin. I might try this on my Starweavers and Skyweavers.

[@sandmanhh67]

With my own experiments with GSW, Instar and Turbodork shifters if you use a pale or white gloss, or a pale gloss metallic as the base coat it changes the qualities of the colourshift to more of a tinted pearl effect (with the darker colourshifts, with paler shifts then you just get a slight shift pearl shimmer). The advantage I see in these is the different colourshifts they offer - previous manufacturers seem to have all pretty much copied each others "shifts" and just renamed them. These are a lot more developed and offer wider colourshift ranges. I will be buying some.... Check out Instar Paint - they do some amazing colourshift and effect addatives in their Spectrum and Shift ranges

[@shadeofneon3325]

I'd love to use these on my Drukhari's armour. Too bad I won't be able to get my hands on an airbrush kit anytime soon.

Great review Naomi! So much so that after viewing I not only want to get some of these paints for my Gundam kits, but you've gained a subscriber.(looked at a few of your other vids and although I don't do tabletop games I still found them entertaining to view). With that said, I look forward to viewing some more of your vids!

[@VoodooTurtle]

I would love to see how these look on curved surfaces like you suggest at the end

[@fuddboi]

Thank you this helped me make my choice of colours

[@bbrighteye3579]

thank you for doing this review i was looking at these colorshift paints. The color choice is a little underwhelming. I had used Turbo Dork color shift paints for spectacular results on my Sons of Horus. You might want to reach out to them they have sent sets of paints to several youtubers to review. I enjoy how much joy you bring to warhammer and painting.

[@martinjrgensen8234]

Interesting paints. Thanks a bunch for the work to show them off. You can paint some really easy and awesome Tyranids by using these on carapace and comtrast paints on other parts. Must try this out

[@jorey4565]

Great review ! Love the Vallejo model color line ,bises😊

[@yarikhansraj5358]

Hi Naomi! Thanks for the amazing practical review of these paints, you've certainly convinced me to pick them up to paint a few armies :D . I am keen to try a Tyranid Beatle Chitin look, and to try out that Electric Blue on some dragons (Eragon style). The opal effect can look nice with the white, I've seen some bonereapers done that way look great! Oh yes, that zooming shimmer effect at the end was the real reason I'm gonna get any of these of course ;D . Keep up the fun work! :D

[@Nada-Mal]

I should get my Indomitus box set in December, and I am now thinking these paints would be ideal for the Necrons

[@user-ro1cs5hp5e]

Good to know u solved the problem with those green stuff shifters :D

[@Lucillevt4011]

I think a custom space marine chapter that was stranded inside the warp for untold millennia would look amazing with these colours.

[@dmstretch6634]

I am so glad this got sorted properly, I just hope Green Stuff World have realised their mistake. Shame it had to happen in the first place but it all seems to have turned out well in the end.

[@1VperOctave]

Dragon scales in a bottle! Have you tried mixing any of them, like the simpler two colour ones?

[@alfuriusstraut8721]

Do you have any visual examples to show how the color shift paint will look on different geometrical shapes, like spheres and polyhedrons?

The greens aren't doing too much for me except the Tuquoise - Violet is something else!

[@Fadeing]

I’m curious what effects come through when these paints get mixed. Guessing one would have to go pretty translucent to keep this effect with other paints and inks. Though what happens mixing these with each other?

Geezus, how many marriage proposals do you get every day? :-) Most importantly, I find your videos extreme;y knowledgeable and helpful, thanks.

[@doramas3676]

Cool colours. 😊

[@chikhai]

Good video, but you can never fully capture the effects of colour shift paints on video, or on a still image. They're much better with the naked eye. I was pretty stoked when Vallejo announced they were making their own colour shift range, but these look a little "flakey". Its difficult to avoid this due to the nature of the mica pigments used in the paint. But Vallejo's look like they're falling behind the likes of Turbo Dork, Greenstuff World or Instar. I've tried making my own and it takes a lot of trial and error finding the right mix of pigment and medium. Out of interest, what nozel size were you using on your airbrush? Most paint manufacturers recommend a 0.5mm nozzle due to the size of the pigment (they're huge compared to normal paint), but if you're prepared to be patient you can get really smooth results if you use a smaller nozzle size, over-thin the paint, and use a couple more coats than usual. You can brush these paints quite easily, despite what people say. The trick is to use a lot of flow improver and treat them like a glaze. You can build up multiple layers without huge brushstrokes spoiling your paintjob. In fact, if you're painting smaller areas you can get a smoother finish if you use a brush. One other tip is to use a thin coat of gloss varnish between layers. You can use this same technique when applying them through you airbrush too. Its the same kind of technique when spraying a car with any kind of pearlescent paint. You're trying to build depth and give light more chance to reflect through the layers. If you're using any kind of pearlescent/colour shift paint your finish can never be glossy enough!

[@nraketh]

Thanks this is very helpful.

[@TirickCFire]

These will look great for the upcoming Legion B2 Battle Droids. I don't have an airbrush unfortunately so I'll have to see how it looks brushed on.

[@derekdziobek5998]

[@trungmi1027]

great review! I think it would be a better demonstration if the paint object is in tube shape, there for both shifting color can be seen at the same time.

[@whinemax]

GSW should fire whoever from their Legal Department thought that mentioning a brand name in a review is valid for a strike under DMCA. Assuming all the footage, audio and visual is your own, and you don't try to claim that the products reviewed belongs to you, Fair Use prevents this sort of strike. (Obviously there can be fringe cases where this doesn't cover.) This is why food reviews, miniature models and even movie/album reviews are 100% legal. Even the packaging doesn't warrant a strike. I wonder what kind of nonsense they used to push this by KZbin. Never shopped from them, never will.

[@jakesells2379]

Please keep the censored version up as well for posterity and laughs. 😅

[@egyptian316]

These paints look like they are going to be best used for details and highlights rather than large surface areas. Things like edges of surfaces where they'll catch light, or little stuff like weapon parts, metal hoses, etc. Might be interesting to see how color shift would look drybrushed on maille armour.

[@magicdrafna5173]

have you tried doing multiple coats of one color? I have used color shits in the past (automotive rattlecan so not the best stuff) and the amount of color shift and color you got changed based on the number of coats you put on, shoot on a test piece i made it dang near not shift because i put too many coats on. Also i was wondering if you mixed a touch of silver into it if that would create a highlight color. Glad you were able to repost this, after that stunt GSW pulled there is no way ill be ordering from them, i just wish i could order single colors not based by the box

[@swordnsteele712]

The number of coats does change the colour, to be a brighter version of the previous layer. I haven't encountered overcoating yet 🤔 I haven't played around with silver mixed in yet, just silver underneath, as shown on one of the tyranids. As I play around with it more, I'll post another video of my findings :)

[@TheMagicalPinata]

Great video, really allowed me to determine which pack to get. One question though, what black gloss primer did you use?

[@chrisbenson98]

I know I late to the vid, but does this lay like Turbo dork, whereas is more of a film than paint?

[@isabelwright4490]

Hi! I really love your videos. ❤ Did you use a primer under these and if so what colour? Or if you didn’t use a primer what is the colour of the tiles themselves. Thank you!

[@swordnsteele712]

They were primed black :) All colour shifting paints work best over very dark colours, particularly a gloss black!

[@brianriggs728]

[@Lumpsack]

Cool - looks like GreenStuffWorld (or KZbin more likely) stopped being a complete pain :)

[@idontwanttopickone]

It was all Green Stuff World. They well over stepped the mark. KZbin just followed their legal complaint, because KZbin (like all of us) don't want to have to deal with lawyers of they don't have to. Green Stuff World shouldn't of even asked KZbin to demonetize any of the videos - instead Green Stuff World went after everyone who has used the term "colorshift" (and "chameleon", apparently) on KZbin because they've very recently tried to registered the trademark in a small number of countries and are presumably going for global trademark registration to push vallejo out (they currently have tried to register colorshift in Japan, Spain and the US, apparently) despite the fact that the term "colorshift" had be previously trademarked globally by other companies. I personally won't bother buying from Green Stuff World. This kind of legal cr*p is what defines a company as rubbish in my mind. To be clear, copyright and trademark unique original work - sure. But don't try to abuse the system by copyrighting or trademarking a single word that has been used by loads of other individuals and companies before you, like you invented it. It's just deceitful and childish. Especially to then attack individuals expressing innocent opinion and critique of a rivals product. It's just a sign a company is terrible and shouldn't be supported. I won't be buying from Green Stuff World if I can help it and I would advise others to do the same. We don't want aggressive companies like this in our hobby.

[@jolandidupreez7468]

Thank you soooooo much for this. Your video should be on the Vallejo website since it shows the colors so well and the images on their site is pretty much useless! thank you again! Quick question... do you have to seal these colors? and if so, what do you use?

[@swordnsteele712]

You`re very welcome :D You can seal the colours, if you think whatever you`re painting is going to see a lot of handling, and I would go with a Gloss Varnish, because Satin or Matt would dull down the metallic effect too much. Happy painting!!

[@davedogge2280]
