We Accidentally Spilled the Beans...

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

When John Blanche says 'best paints I've ever used for miniatures,' that there is a gentleman that's slung some paint at lead in his time - he might know a thing or two! 😂 Loving the expansions to the range; that Ironclad Grey in particular really slots in where it felt like something was missing. Looking forward to seeing this hit people's painting tables!

[@Bear_of_light26]

Exactly how I felt on the ironclad grey too. Perfect edition. But now I need to rejigger my paint rack lol

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

@@Bear_of_light26 Haha! Tell me about it. I've had to buy extra paint racks specifically for the Fanatic range... and now it's gonna be bigger?! Army Painter, c'mon, help a guy out! Release the AP Uber Paint Rack! XD

the guy hasn't painted minis in years because of his condition lol

@@SonicSledgehammerStudio I bought a dresser from ikea to store them and made custom holders for slide out trays lol

WOW. That was a really good advertisement. Just seeing John Blanche's name wanted me to buy the paint boxes now. 😉

Some of the best commercials ever. Your marketing team is knocking it out of the park!

[@HallBr3gg]

It funny how GW had John Blanch for decades and couldn't use his personality for anything. They truly underutilize their talent.

[@wasmic5z]

GW tried for a bit with Duncan Rhodes and Peachy, but after they left the company, GW has stopped showing off any of their employees at all. They don't even show the faces of the painters in the Warhammer TV painting videos any more. It's like they're trying to make it as corporate and sterile as possible.

[@doesntmatter5857]

Fact.

[@HallBr3gg]

@@wasmic5z they refused to pay them more...

[@J.J-u4z]

@@wasmic5z it makes the vidoes seem so removed. No personality, just like the company. I don't buy their sh!t, I refuse to.

[@MrPigments]

They couldn't use his personality because Blanche is a nightmare to work with and refuses to do anything anyway buy his own even if its at the detriment to his own work and deadlines.

[@RocksmithBuzzer]

Nice to see the flesh wash and a darker grey. Great job

[@DrowninGGaming]

Fantastic way to handle the situation, love it and cannot wait to get my hands on these!!!! Army Painter riding into 2025 like a boss, they aren't here to take part, they're here to take over and taking over, they are indeed!!!!!!!

The energy in thud video was exactly what I needed today. Thank you guys!

I appreciate a company embracing the leak and using it to feed the hype. Love it

[@CadianSergeantSteel]

I don't think I have ever been more excited for Army Painter products. This looks really cool! Job well done on the video and what appears to be two really great paint sets.

[@Linkman247]

This is cool! I love the new fanatics and speed paint 2.0. More paints are always welcome!

[@jimbomacroth3400]

Damn good at making paints AND entertaining promos!

I know it seems like a small thing but I've been hoping for a darker shade of Mulled Berry! Glad it's coming!

damn, good to see John working with you guys, looking forward to trying the "mostly new" paints.

[@Awwsha]

OH a darker gray! ty John Blanche and AP i was missing that.

[@pete104242]

very well done. army painter keeps getting better, give it some years for people to catch up but you will be the go to for paints across the hobby

[@alecseusalec3418]

My precious,precious flesh wash is back. That's nice. Now I can finish my Son's of Behemat army. Yes,all seven of them.

[@slickschoppers]

did you have problems finding it??? the washes didn't change formula and tons of people still have flesh wash in stock.. Just FYI.... you don't even have to wait till january, you can still buy it now...

[@alecseusalec3418]

@slickschoppers I'm not from US bro.

[@shadowwill]

Will be cool to see all the paints in the sets, but would love to see some additional paints in the metallic range. Like blue metallic, yellow, purple etc

[@SkyeShaw-l4h]

Aw you guys made me ink! (Very exciting news! Can't wait!)

[@andrewrockwell1282]

I got back into the hobby a year ago and picked up army painter as a place to start. Ive been very happy with them and continue to expand my range with more army painter paints. Thank you for your work. ❤

[@SilverSword1]

John Blanche is the best possible spokesperson you could have for miniature paints range.

[@oainger]

Some lovely dark tones and a nice vibrant red I can spot. Great additions to the Fanatic line. Looking forward to it, great work guys.

Great stuff! Big respect that he's on board with your paint line.

Man, new dark colors?! Now that is something to get behind, especially since those dark tones seemed a bit lacking upon release of the Fanatic line. Bravo!

Love your paints guys. I can't wait to get My hands on these new sets. New at the painting but love the hobby.

[@simonbreeze6063]

Great video, and I'm super-hyped for the paints! 🔥🤘

I can say I did not hear a word before but this a pleasant surprise! I will definitely look into these sometime next year when I need a big boost to my paint collection.

[@HacksawsHobbyBunker]

Brilliant and unexpected. Cheers!

[@ZeehcTunococ]

Wow. Good on you for addressing all the criticisms within the fanatics range, while capitalizing on it. Looking forward to this release.

[@kebertxela7819]

Which criticisms have they addressed?

[@slickschoppers]

@@kebertxela7819 what critisisms were there? the ORIGINAL line had tons.. but the Fanatic Range? the largest complaint i've seen is the "True red is not red enough" complaint,, other than that.. I've got no idea.. I'm wondering if the OP meant the WARPAINTS range

[@ZeehcTunococ]

I meant the Fanatic range. When the range first got released the couple dozen reviews generally had the same messages: huge step up from the original war paints. But a little lacking on high saturation / vibrancy and deep depth. Having a few paints from other ranges, I will have to agree - AP's Daemonic Yellow looks orange next to ProAcryl's Bismuth Yellow, and AK 3rd gen's Tenebrous Grey has more depth and matte than AP's Matt Black.

[@kebertxela7819]

@@ZeehcTunococ I definitely agree with that complaint, many of the brighter colors are far too desaturated. The violet and deep green triads are probably the worst offenders. However I don't know that I would say this new set addresses that. It has some nice new deep tones, yes, but my hope is that they'll release some nice saturated lighter colors that don't look so pastel like the current ones do.

[@ZeehcTunococ]

​@@kebertxela7819 agreed. This release seems to be a step in the right direction.

[@williamskogen9895]

Looking forward to learning more!

[@LukasEisenring]

Cool collab! Would be great to learn more of the reasoning for the paint selection and how the paints link back to John Blanche's minipainting style (techniques, when/how he uses washes, etc.). Out of curiosity, can anyone explain to me why a darker grey gets people excited? If you are unable to mix black into a grey you most likely won't get happy with the John Blanche paint sets. If you get

AUGH! So glad yer $hit at keeping secrets because this one ROCKED! What a collab, you guys hit this one out of the frickin' park!!! P.S. When are you going to make me the 5th official member of the Army Painter team?? I could be "the average joe" hobby guy on the panel. Who can't relate to that?!? And my name is already Joe!

So I'll take the "like" as a YES to my Army Painter team application. See you in Denmark!

No more mixing up a grey between black and Deep Grey gets my vote. Every other color is a bonus!

Yay for bringing back Flesh Wash, it's my favorite wash and will soon be on my 3rd bottle of it.

[@SwordsandBrushes]

That was a cool video! Really happy to see Flesh Wash back, personally thats my go to for skin and metals and nice to see another grey in the range! Any chance of expanding the range later on with a couple more triad systems - such as some military greens coming back like Crypt Wraith - Venom Wyrm - Commando Green & Some warmer Greys like Hardened Carapace - Dark Stone - Field Grey and a Dark Rich brown like GW's Rhinox Hide? ... Just asking for a friend :P

[@goulvenlagree4104]

Thanks for the dark Grey, I have to buy one from another range because necromancer cloak was one of my favorite. I get the last flesh wash from my hobby shop fews weeks ago. So it's perfect ❤

Army Painter was the first Paint range i got when i started with my hobby and im still usin them now 3 years later. Your Paints are one of the best products when u want to start the hobby. But im not a fan of the Wet Pallet. U have to buy every time the Sponge set to get the parchment papers for the palett.

Lol bought the entire range to have a complete paint range and now I got to buy more that being said they look good, though I'd wish they would've given us some actual bright vibrant reds though it looks like there is one in the new set so fingers crossed for one atleast
