We really are spoilt for choice these days, Proacryl are such nice rich paints for base colours, Vallejo have every shade of colour possible, GW inks and contrasts... It's so nice to be able to pick and choose and build your own paint range that suits you exactly. When I started as a very small dumb kid all I knew was that there was either Citadel for acrylics or Humbrol for enamels and that was it.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Yeah same here, I had a choice of Citadel, Vallejo or Humbrol and that was it. We truly live in the golden age of the hobby

[@chrissteadman4614]

When you first published this video I got together the metallics you suggested, several of which I had not considered previously. What a revelation. I really enjoy this palette of 14 metallics and my true metal work has improved so much. Thank you Juan.

I would've liked to see your commentary over a mix of video of it as its applied and then an edit showing the dried application, I appreciate seeing them at the end.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

You are totally right, that's a miss on my part.

[@alternate3787]

Vallejo knocked it really out of the park with their Xpress range for me. Being able to thin them down with water to a glaze consistency makes them so versatile for me. They do stuff you would usually use an ink for but with a lot more control over saturation

[@pancakemogul]

Refreshing to see somebody not defaulting to the Metal Color range for metallics, especially in such a heavy Vallejo lineup. Excellent video. Thank you! My only recommendation is including a shot of the contrast paints when dry.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Yeah, I realised my mistake too late to change anything

[@Valandar2]

I would think the perfect tile for contrast testing would have four corners with grooves between: a rounded shape, a flat shape, and a concave shape with sharp edges, and in the fourth corner a pattern like chain maille or scales. This would let you see how it paints on everything.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

[@insertuniqueusernamehere]

I totally agree with you about the Contrast blues. Ultramarines Blue and Frostheart works well, possibly because they're more opaque, but I've not had much luck with Asurmen Blue, Tallasar Blue or Celestium Blue. No matter what I do with those 3 blues, they seem to dry patchy with inconsistent coverage. Whereas the contrast yellows, reds and browns seem to work really nicely with smooth transitions.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

That's my experience as well

[@insertuniqueusernamehere]

@@JuanHidalgoMiniaturesthanks for that. If you're having the same experience as me, the issue almost certainly is with the paint itself. I'll look into the Vallejo Express Colours blues as replacements (yet to buy any Express Colours). Any suggestions for how to use the Contrast blues while avoiding the issues of patchy coverage so I finish off the bottles?

[@jerrythorpe5540]

I'd be interested in your opinion (if any) on the Army Painter Speedpaint 2.0 metallics... is there any need for contrast style paints with true metallic colours or do you think their inherent light bouncing/edge effects makes the gradiated pigment of contrast redundant?

[@isisnmagic1812]

Great video and love this series as its introduced me to a few colours I never knew I needed lol. Pro acrylic here I come.

[@careycondor]

@JuanHidalgoMiniatures - your list in the description is missing a few of the paints you covered, in case you want to add them to make it complete: Akhelian Green, Terradon Turquoise, the Xpress Medium, and MC Copper.

[@quakeSanchez]

Reds: 1st wave contrasts. Vallejo Velvet Red, Plasma Red, Seraph Red: are we a joke to you? Seriously, those are just so beautiful. Also, very pleasant to work with.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Oh, they are lovely. I just genuinely prefer contrast for reds

Esto es la caña. Tengo el tengo completo de Citadel pero gracias a tí he visto algunos colores de Vallejo que me vendrían genial. Ahora tengo que comprar más pinturas. Maldito seas 😂😂😂

[@jorgemontero6384]

Mystic Blue is thin enough it can be used to punch up darker colors that would otherwise lack luminosity. My Tyranids start with lightly thinned ultramarine blue, but the highlights of that are just too bland, so mystic blue on top just enhances the highlights to 11.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Yeah, it's amazing

[@griffglowen5555]

Great video thanks! How do you feel the Vallejo metal color silvers compare to the game colors?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Shinier and lore metal like but worse to use with a brush. I personally only use them through the airbrush now for basecoats

[@Crimson1417]

Great video! Thank you so much

[@gehtgooglenixan8138]

Howdy. I think the range of colors when it comes to painting miniatures is now very impressive. What was unimaginable in my time back then is what exists today. I still have a few old paint pots from Citadel from the 90s. the color is still good 😀 but very very cool video. thank you for the comparison. I also need to expand my palette a bit. also use a balanced mix of citadel contrast and xpress colors. both have their strengths and weaknesses. I don't really like the xpress color, orc skin, as an example. I think it's too light for greenskins. and the ork skin Contrast is too comic-like for me personally after drying. I mixed plaque green and Troll green from xpress as a test and it worked. I now mostly paint in slapchop style. I really like the results. At the moment I just don't have the time with a child for a standard painting 😅 Maybe Junior will jump on the bandwagon at some point and we'll paint together. Have a nice sunday.

I can't get them here locally and AP refuses to send me products for review after Speedpaints 1.0 I'm sure the new version is amazing but sadly I can't know.

[@attiladukai2121]

Hi. Just wanna mention that you MUST try out AK Xtreme color. It is a metalic airbrush paint. Steel is 99% like Citadel Ironbreaker. And Gunmetal is almost the same like Leadbelcher. They are the best metal airbrush paint what I have ever used. It is uuuuuuuultra thin, covers like hell and looks amazing. They have maybe 20+ metal paints. I consider it as a liefehack. It have a special cleaner and it's amazing too.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

I will Will try them for sure, but they do sound like paints that only work well for airbrushing and I wanted dual purpose paints for the list

[@attiladukai2121]

@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures yes they are aorbrush paints. Enamels based, so it would destroy your brushes. The thinner is odorless, so unlike other enamel thinners it will not cause you headache. That's the only downside. I only use airbrush for basecoat and for varnish. It is lightyears better than any spray on paints.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

@attiladukai2121 yeah being enamel that makes them a complete no for this kind of list. I'm still going to try them as I love enamels and oils but they are definitely not for this list.

[@pascalverbraeken9876]

Hello, thanks for the vid. Two questions : which type of Isabey brush do you use, and do you thin Express Color ? I bought 4 colours to use, but they are either too dark with not much contrast, or they do not color enough. (I did not thin. I don't remember the exact names, but I bought a yellow, a leather, a green and a burgundy Xpress Color)

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

No I didn't, make sure they are well shaken to ensure the pigment and medium are integrated. Some of the Xpress colours are a bit thinner than contrast and that's on purpose. As for the brush, don't buy it. It was a test and they are ridiculously expensive and not as good as one would expect

In trms of the contrast, specifically the GW ones, do you know if your bottles are the 'new' ones that were reformulated? I was not happy with some of those changes but I might've just got a few bad colors.

There has been no reformulation of Contrast as far as I know. The only changes were the Shades that now use a Contrast base.

So now that we have both best acrylics, best one coats and best mettalics, what do you think is missing from the range to call it a complete best paint set? Washes? Effects? Basing?

Nothing in terms of painting. You will need of course some basing stuff but apart from that I don't use any washes or effects anymore and I don't consider them necessary when you can just thin contrast down into a wash.

contrast medium

[@MrPigments]

Out of curiosity have you ever looked into professional(artist) grade paints? There are dark blues like anthraquinone, cobalt(modern stuff isnt toxic), and what not as well as yellows in brands like lascaux, golden, liquitex, holbein, etc than the scale 75 heavy bodied acrylics and have higher pigmentations as the scale 75 stuff has a CPVC too low to legally be an artist grade paint. Hobby yellows also tend to not work as well as artist grade as yellow when its mixed pigment due to how it interacts with the green and red spectrum doesnt really read as yellow and tends to get into weird problems with things like PW18, PW26, and pyrogenic silica which can cause them to clump up due to most having smaller particle sizes as a lot are dye-like than the three things mentioned which will cause them to form bad agglomerates which is why a lot tend to be clumpy and not great to work with. Artist is a legally defined grading term and not some specific style of paint. In some countries its called professional or studio.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

I have done yes, I in fact use high grade oil paints too for my busts and I love them. It's just that I decided to make that separation and use only hobby brands for acrylics and artist paints for oils

[@MrPigments]

@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures That makes sense. I don't use hobby brands since I work in the coatings industry as a glorified product tester so I have a very impossibly high standards so I'm always curious why people use some brands over others. What brand of oils paints do you use?

@Drezrale I use Windsor and Newton mainly (artists grade) with some Michael Harding and Schmincke to fill some gaps and some Gambling (just the 4 metallic ones)

[@MrPigments]

@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Love me some Michael Harding. If you haven't looked into it or have it get Gamblin manganese blue hue, its single pigment PB15:4 which is the current standard for cyan other than cobalt teal since PB17 was discontinued. Its a phthalo pigment with lower tint strength than normal so it isnt as painful when mixing as the others and it's fairly uncommon to find in oil paints due to its OA being super low. It's one of the few gamblin oils I own for a reason.
