Who knew Phil was such a Shakespeare Thespian? Speed paints have saved my hobby. i do not enjoy painting so i always look for a quick and easy way to get an army done as quick as possible. If i can paint a single model in 5 mins and not be utter trash i would prefer that.
Enamel Paints still go hard. But speed paints do make a great base layer after a slap chop. You can also get a bunch of models speed painted and on the tabletop and at your leisure go back and add more details if you so desire.
Don’t know how I never found your videos. Met you at adepticon yesterday and between that convo and your videos you’ve singlehandedly revitalized my want to hobby and slay some gray. Thanks Phil 🎉🎉🎉
Heck yeah! This weekend also pumped me up (creatively that is, physically I need a three year nap 😏) so I am so glad to have helped you with that too!! 😀
Simply put, I've been painting minis off and on since roughly 1990 and last year I painted more minis than all the previous years combined thanks to speed paints.
I'm working on a Heresy Night Lords army and have discovered that I can do some very cool highlighting with my airbrush that creates some nice contrast and then filter it (via airbrush) with Army Painter speed paint (Beowulf Blue in this case) and it brings things together very well. Army painter speed paints seem to work particularly well as a filter through an airbrush.
"There is no 'supposed to' in this hobby." Sounds like you have a sticker or shirt design going. Maybe Supposed To with a big circle and line through it.
And to answer the question, I did craft paints back in the day and got some contrasts just ahead of lockdown to have something to do at home for a couple weeks. Ooops. But I finally started painting with Citadel Contrast paints. Now I am trying a new method with Monument Hobbies.
"There is absolutely no 'supposed to' when it comes to this hobby." "Cool. I'm really into this game, but I'm really not an artist, nor have any aspiration to becoming one, by any stretch. Any at all. Am kinda colour adverse even. Heck, my friends are all colour blind anyhow, so now I can just..." "Paint the models!" "Oh, but you said..." "Paint the models!" "But what if I..." "Paint the models!" XD I was actually waiting it to be a butt of a joke like "You could go with just army of grey, but why would you wanna do that? Hahahahaha!" But not mentioning it at all, like it wasn't even a thing. Sure it's a video especially about painting, but not even throwing it in there. Harsh. ^n^"" Not entirely inaccurate though either. "The desire to play the game" has amazingly strong ties to "that means you're gonna paint these, right? Have someone else paint these at least? You know you can ask/pay people to do that? Why would you not want them to be painted?" It's like going to a party and telling people you don't drink. And if you don't "for whatever reason", then you're the designated driver, 'cose that's just how things go, right? Right? Which is why I really dislike the "well, you loose some points for grey". Made me swear I'd never field a 100% painted army. There will always be one grey bolter in there and if I ever come close to the point of having only that missing, also a wholly grey model ready for a switch if someone is to insist that "just missing a bolter is no grounds for not getting the 'fully-painted'-points". 'Cose yes. This is a HUGE part of the HOBBY and I've run my share of events to encourage people to paint and people have been happy with them (even I managed to paint some!) and fully painted armies are amazing to look at. Even poorly painted. Any paint does make the mini look fancier. At least from a distance. Arms length, no glasses and dim light. Beyond that what are you, aiming for Golden Daemon or something? But it has nothing to do with the GAME. And I'm really happy the local scenes very rarely award hobby points to the actual game. Though I was surprised when friend who started organizing tournaments asked the group if we should have best painted army award in the tournaments, since we don't really ask even for the armies to be fully painted to take part... Well duh! Of course! It is a perfect motivator for people. And there are people who want to paint. I doubt I'll ever see a tournament where you'd "need to award" a less than fully painted army. BUTBUT! You sir made me really interested in that black colour. I don't really do drop bottles, less so palettes, but that black was super thick and really didn't seem flat. Been using the GWs Contrasts and while they do the job, it does leave the mini a bit grey-ish. Also the white is absolutely grey. Don't know where I would use the actual grey when the white works just as well. XD
Beard, shirt and your canines make you look like a son of Russ but I agree that your dark angel is the best of your models. Love that blade guard model cleaning the sword and your paint job on it looks great.
Each sort of paint has its best applications and limitations. I would not suggest going out and trying to 'speed paint' an army, but instead I would say do a small amount of experimenting to find out what methods work best to get the effect and quality you want in your models. Each speed paint and normal paint works differently even.

Yeah that is increasingly becoming the case for me where I use the speed paints not just as a one coat process, but to filter and pump up saturation 😀
Huzzah and well met, Sir. Great open. Also on a re-watch of GoT so digging the T-shirt choice.

I do citadel only, everything is codex, so my army would match with someone else who has the same chapter.

Thank you! ... I may look a Son of Russ, but my heart belongs to Lion El'Johnson 😏

Great video! Thay risen looks awesome! Have you tried grim black speedpaint on larger models such as bikes and speeders for Ravenwing?
I used it through an airbrush for a Black Legion rhino and I used it by brush on the armor of two Forgefiends! It worked super well in both cases! 😀
@@TheGlacialGeek sounds great! Thanks 👍
I speed paint to block in my colors and visualize the dream
Speed paint as base and acrylics as highlights.
Black Dark Angel 😍😍😍
