Love the vid and the format. Perfect. You showed what layering up with the new paints did, and then glazed as part of your finishing touches, without glazing in between steps (which shows the the application of the paint via the advertised system).

RECIPIE: spray prime black terrestial titan (dark grey/purple) baselayer, leaving black in receses. replaces 'imperial navy' from triad system. regal blue layer royal blue layer crystal blue layer arctic gem layer bright sapphire layer plasma coil glow (effects) to blend / glaze, 2x coats to boost saturation (could use warpaints fanatic 'blue tone' / 'dark blue tone' washes all over, but would need to re-do highlights - not done in video) reinforce crystal blue highlights brigade grey thinned with warpaints stabiliser medium & water for brightest spot highlights

Are there any plans for testing a triad in order? I like the video, but my understanding of the triads is that you use them to select the paints to base/shade/highlight. Getting a triad preview video and it starts with not using the triad system itself was not what i expected

@@jameswithabee9315 My bad actually! I keep on doubting the triad system and it showed by using the purple here. I will try to explain in my next video why I do. But the darkest color of the triad ( I think ) did not affect the finish too much. At least in this case.

Everyone alks about the “insane coverage” , but how do they glaze? It’s good to have a good coverage, but how much does it stops you from getting smooth transitions while layering and glazing? Also, it’s pretty clear that those color cannot fully take advantage of an underpainting and the color variation brought by the transparency

Will do glazing around third week of the month. Sketch and glaze is my painting technique for the longest time after all.

So my question is what is to prevent someone from buying a bunch of white and each of the darkest of the triads? At 4.25 per bottle need to stretch my dollar a lot further. They look fantastic BTW, but even at 3.50 per paint in the complete set it is still 750ish dollars for the set, that is a lot of money when each of the triads are just a brightened version of a single color. I am buying this for the base paints not the effects paints or washes or the like. How many sets of the base triads are there, I am guessing like 30, that is a lot of money for what is essentially 30 colors and their lightened versions. Maybe I am completely off base and there is something else going on, if so please let me know.

@@DonSuratos that's fine, I am honestly just curious, it is a lot of money and I am looking to see if it is as it appears that it is 30 paints each with white added. If so that doesn't seem like the best value proposition. If there is something different I would love to hear it, or if there is something with the paint stability that doesn't permit that, or if some are not white thinning, but some ivory or some warms and some colds, etc. Just want more details really. The coverage and consistency seems excellent, but want to know what I am buying if 30 colors with variants, that is fine just want to know.
