The market has so many hobby products for miniature painters, it’s insane. Occasionally a paint, a tool, a something comes along that everyone raves about, or it gets a reputation worthy of folk law. We went out, bought a bunch of them, and put them to the test against a cheaper or simpler alternative. Are these Hobby products worth it? Let us know!

this video is sponsored by into the am so whilst I don't think I can call myself a new hobbyist anymore I
0:06
definitely still clasp myself as inexperienced and as such I'm always on
0:13
the lookout for talent in a bottle products think streaking Grime dirty
0:19
down rust anything that can make my life easier and my Miniatures look better
0:25
myself and Jeff have gathered up a bunch of these products that we've either heard of or they been recommended and
0:31
we're going to test them out against some cheaper or sometimes more simple Alternatives and we're asking ourselves
0:38
do these hobby products need to exist open bracket for the average hobbyist
0:44
close bracket that's definitely how I view myself some of these we haven't used before we using them for the first
0:49
time might be a mess let's have fun almost every single hobby company that's
0:54
out there will be able to sell you a pair of clippers but there's one brand out there that have been touted as the
1:01
best above any else God hand so I'm going to put them
1:06
up against their Citadel and AK equivalents because that's what we have
1:11
in the studio worth bearing in mind that one thing I can't test here is longevity
1:16
what might clip plastic great now might not in a year's time so my results are
1:21
purely just from what's Here and Now on the table in front of me so first up to test are the AK Snips the cheapest one
1:29
of the range now these do seem quite small in the hand the spring seems sort
1:35
of quite uh maybe loose is the wrong word but very easy to depress and with
1:40
all of these I'm going to try and be to be as Fair as possible I'm going to place the snips straight up to the
1:46
miniature and just give them a cut uh I have used these before a few times and
1:51
I'm I'm generally familiar with them and the results you get I think are really really good close up to the miniature it
1:57
leaves behind a little bit of Flash which you can easily remove with a knife
2:03
a mold remover or a nail file something along those lines but most importantly
2:08
there's no chunks taken out of the miniature so 410 quid pretty happy with
2:14
these second in our test are the Citadel Snips and these are a lot bigger I don't
2:19
have the biggest hands in the world if anyone has smaller hands than me this is might feel quite uncomfortable to use
2:25
the spring is a lot firmer in these as well these are the Snips that I've used
2:30
the most out of any and placing them right up flush against the miniature as you can see it leaves Behind These sort
2:37
of white marks and some small chunks of plastic have been removed I think really
2:43
it's best to use these maybe a millimeter away and then as you snip it kind of pushes down and and cuts flush
2:49
but right up to the miniature the results aren't as good as the cheaper AK
2:55
Clippers do get points for style I've always quite liked the look of them but functionally not as good and then we
3:02
have the god hands coming in at50 they're so fancy I can only read a
3:09
few numbers and made in Japan on the packaging everything on the back not a
3:14
clue hopefully it's a good enough reason why they cost this much money design wise very similar to the AK Snips the
3:23
size is almost identical I find these a bit easier to use the grip position is a little bit smaller spring feels a little
3:28
bit firmer as well but anyway on to the use straight up to the miniature and my God using these is
3:36
like an eye opening experience there's no audible clipping noise when you use
3:42
them it just bites through the plastic like you're cutting into butter these
3:48
are Precision Instruments and the usability and the feel of them is
3:55
amazing if cutting through plastic with the Citadel Snips is like trying to cut
4:00
through flank steak with a butter knife this is fillet steak with a Japanese
4:07
chef's knife it is amazing but the issue is the price now results wise they're
4:16
similar very similar to the AK Clippers which are £10 and again the longevity
4:21
comes into this and really I think the question is are the godand
4:26
440 better than the AK Clippers you could buy five pairs of the AK clippers
4:33
for one pair of God hands that's for you to make that decision I think for me I bought them for this video am I going to
4:39
continue to use them absolutely they're by far my favorite Clippers to use pricewise quite hard to justify maybe a
4:47
present for the hobbiest Enthusiast in your life so just a quick break from testing some of these crazy products to
4:53
have a quick mention of our sponsor into the am it's the 24th of November it's

6:30
back to the video I'm not sure Outcast were referring to modeling paints when they said shake it shake it like a
6:35
Polaroid picture but if they were it's good advice getting a good finish on
6:40
your miniature involves having really silky smooth paint so we're going to look at three different ways to mix your
6:46
paints to get the best results out of them on this show we use a lot of AK interactive paints we're not going to
6:51
use them for this segment they generally Shake really well and mix with very little effort so we're going to use some
7:00
other paints ones that may have a little bit of a reputation for not always being
7:05
the best in the pot method number one is how I mix my paints with the Mark 1 wrist it's been around for thousands of
7:11
years we've come to rely on it so I just give them a good shake and hope for the best normally a minute 2 minutes who can
7:19
say it depends on what paint it is you're using but generally it gets me pretty much there I'd love to add pros
7:25
and cons but it's just shaking a bottle of paint by hand we've all done it the second option was introduced to me by
7:32
your friend of mine Mr Patrick so this is a pigment mixer it looks suspiciously
7:38
like a barista froa who's to say although I own one of these I generally don't use it mainly based on the fact
7:44
that I'm massively clumsy and it's written off at least two really nice t-shirts but you may do better with it
7:50
than me but anyway let's have a go what do I think of the pigment mixer it's pretty good it's really quick it costs a
7:58
pound and it does what it says on the tin it really does get everything mixed up really well
8:04
downsides it takes batteries so you got to make sure you've have some in the house and it also only works on really
8:10
wide aperture bottles not so good for your dropper bottles I'm afraid so our last option is the slightly off Brown
8:17
Vortex mixer I've seen these all over the Internet loads of well-known YouTube
8:22
painters use them but I've always felt do a little bit on the expensive side and looked like a bit of overkill for
8:29
what I do with my paints but let's try one out and see what we get out of it so in the end I used the vortex mixer for
8:36
about 2 minutes which is roughly about the same amount of time as me shaking a bottle by hand and to be honest the
8:42
results were a little bit sketchy it was still some lumps in the paint that we tried it with it may work better if
8:48
you're using it with a dropper bottle or with a standard Citadel type bot but
8:53
with agitators inside it so then if I have to rank the three different ways of mixing paint
8:59
I would say in third place I'm probably going to go with the vortex mixer very expensive for what it did wasn't
9:06
massively impressed with the results if you've got one cuz you work in a lab maybe use it but if you haven't I
9:12
wouldn't rush out and buy one second place my hand it does the job it's been
9:18
doing the job for a long time but for a pound the pigment mixer I think works really well it's really quick yeah may
9:25
be best if you're me or you're like me put an apron on when you using it but generally I think for the price as just
9:32
a little tool to just have on your bench with everything else it's the perfect result if there's a criticism that I've
9:38
seen leveled at your regular primaris intercessor is it's quite generic now
9:44
that works in its favor because those Marines can fit into any army but also
9:50
because of that they can look a bit out of place in the more stylized chapters like the black Templars for example so
9:57
we're looking at GW versus the world upgrade sprs versus 3D printed parts
10:03
from third party sellers I'm taking a bunch of regular intercessors here and I'm going to try and black Templar them
10:09
up firstly it's the upgrade sprew for regular Marines there actually isn't loads to use here you get a few shoulder
10:16
pads a handful of heads but only two with helmets there's only one backpack but it's specifically designed to take a
10:23
banner so you're kind of restricted in who can use it and what Marines you can put it on all that added to this chap
10:30
here is a helmet a shoulder pad and then some candles on his backpack more
10:35
Templar yes transferable to a whole Squad probably not now I'm on to the 3D
10:41
parts we don't have a printer yet so I bought these Templar bits from Archie's Forge and I believe you can get stls
10:48
through greaty tide Studios these bits oo black Templar Vibes and they look awesome I've got Knights helmets I've
10:54
got awesome shoulder pads the quality is really good you're going to have to use superg glue with this cuz it's resin they fit as well as expected and they
11:01
look awesome there's loads of variety in the helmets and the backpacks you can very much build your model your way if
11:09
that makes sense I'd be worried about how long they take to paint though with all of that extra detail and I guess you
11:14
could make an argument that it's a bit over the top maybe in conclusion really
11:21
I think I've misused the upgrade sprew for what it is if you want a Templar looking Army I think Games Workshop want
11:28
you to buy sword Brethren and crusader squads cuz they're already glammed up in its all the official models this Brew is
11:34
better suited for your Scouts tanks and maybe putting shoulder pads on your
11:40
nameless Heroes your primaris left tenants and stuff like that that being said if you want to make gravic armor
11:46
look cool you're stuck a lot more is Catered for with the third party bits look at what I've done to this redemptor
11:52
over the top and stupidly awesome GW don't do any chapter specific redemptor
11:59
primaris dreads uh so this is really really cool and quite unique I think I
12:04
mean you could buy all this comparison down just on candle size alone it's very
12:09
much me and the guy she tells me not to be worried about both kits have their place just on cool Factor alone I think
12:17
the 3D bits take it for me saying that I don't think I'd want to paint an army of kitted out Templars with all that extra
12:23
detail all the chains parchment candles skulls maybe not kill team or combat
12:29
Patrol though absolutely there's so much to talk about here I think it warrants another video in its own right along
12:35
with uh painting them up maybe look out for that in the future I hate drilling
12:40
barrels much to everyone on the internet's disdain in the hobby Community I usually just leave them but
12:47
I'm eager to practice get a bit better and see if I can enjoy it I think it was a ninon video maybe a couple of years
12:54
ago where I first heard about the fabled wowstick so we're going to take our
13:00
manual drill for £10 a wow stick which is 54 and an Amazon special somewhere in
13:07
the middle at 24 quid first up is a manual drill and I've been told to use a hobby knife to start off a pilot hole to
13:14
get it centered and then going in with the drill I've done this a few times before and I'm paranoid about barrels
13:20
being offc Center wonky angles there's a lot of opportunity for human error here and when the human is
13:27
me going through this process I'm actually quite happy with the results this is probably the best Barrel that
13:33
I've ever drilled it's nice and clean bit of a faf changing the drill bits to go into the side of the barrels but
13:39
everything's quite Central quite clean and it looks good I think the main downside for me with this is time would
13:45
I drill a single model absolutely would I drill a kill team probably would I
13:51
drill an army absolutely not and just leave them the Amazon special lots of
13:57
features on this one charges with us USB has a power indicator and variable modes
14:02
it's even got a light it's not however designed for minitures so the controls aren't exactly
14:08
where you need them you got the controls at the back so you have to turn it on move your hand away cuz you want to hold
14:14
the drill kind of like a paintbrush or a pen heading towards the barrel of your tiny plastic gun with the drill already
14:21
spinning away like mad is a recipe for disaster and weird looking Barrel holes
14:27
I took to starting the drill and then holding the front of it with my fingers
14:32
making it stop placing it on the barrel and then letting go starting up the drill a bit of a workaround it's not
14:38
really what it's designed for it's not ideal I I really didn't like it definitely prefer the manual drill over
14:45
this you know this is designed for for household use I think putting holes in walls and picture hooks and that kind of
14:51
thing finally the wow stick comes in a fancy box but when you throwing all the cardboard away it's just weirdly big and
14:59
I don't think you really need it I think this was something designed for it to look cool and and maybe warrant the cost
15:05
um I I don't think I'm really going to use the box at all the WoW stick fixes all the issues I had with the Amazon
15:12
special you've got the controls down the front and you have to keep your finger on the power button to keep the drill
15:18
going if you let go it stops which is perfect you've got more control it's designed for this kind of job and it
15:25
does it really really well I'm going straight in no pilot holes it grips really quickly the action is nice and
15:31
smooth the process is lightning fast honestly I'm a huge fan this actually makes me want to drill barrels rather
15:37
than seeing it as an absolute chore but is it worth the price to feel this good
15:44
probably not unless you're a commission painter and you're drilling a lot of barrels if you've got a whole Army to do
15:49
something along those lines the results are comparable to the manual drill would I drill an army with this absolutely
15:56
single Miniatures kill teams I just do it manually so maybe save you money I think my finding from this is just get
16:03
whatever does the job that you need it to do when streaming on Twitch somebody was telling me that when you start
16:09
drilling barrels you've got to make sure that the hole is appropriately big enough as well or it just looks a bit
16:15
silly so if you're not fussed about drilling barrels don't waste any of your hard-earned money I did have the most
16:22
fun with the wow stick I just wouldn't buy one for myself I mean I guess I did
16:28
for this video video but never mind when it comes to weather and vehicles dust
16:34
dust I know really well but what I don't know is mud and I'm going to try three
16:40
techniques today are using the size of Space Marine Vehicles two of them have generally been out there for a while but
16:46
the third one includes this10 little tool from AK and who knows this might be
16:52
the way I do it in future the first method involves using a toothbrush 30 p from Little going to apply it in in a
16:58
flicking motion and see what sort of Technique we get out of it the toothbrush is quite easy to use and very
17:04
quick simply dip it in the paint and flick it on the tank it took no time at all to get the Rhino covered in mud and
17:10
looking pretty decent if I had to be pushed for a downside to using a toothbrush I'd say the pattern of mud
17:15
looks a bit uniform the size and variations of splodes of mud were just a bit too similar but for 30 P from your
17:22
Supermarket who's complaining the next method I chose was to use an airbrush
17:27
and an old paintbrush I loaded the paintbrush up with paint and then fired the airbrush through it creating
17:33
speckled effect on the side of a land Raider got to be honest not my favorite method possibly because I'm not great
17:39
with an airbrush I've not tried this before I think it takes a bit of time and effort to figure how the right level
17:45
of consistency of paint and also the right level of pressure on the airbrush but if you've got an airbrush already
17:50
then go for it I wouldn't buy an airbrush to make your tanks look muddy if you look at the Finish you can tell
17:56
where I've got a little bit too close and where the paint was a little bit too thin there's some splodes that don't match the rest of it but generally the
18:03
uniformity work quite well just a little bit too much of an effort for me the airbrush and paintbrush effect might be
18:09
best suited to smaller individual Miniatures for blood and things like that didn't do it for me for vehicles
18:15
though the AK splatter tool is a strange looking little thing it looks like four toothbrushes all mashed together of
18:21
different size and thicknesses of bristles and the good thing about it is
18:27
that even if if you don't know how to use it the Box corresponds to the colors of bristles and it will show you
18:34
hopefully the type of splatter effect you're going to get with each Corner let's see if it actually works and does
18:40
this hobby product need to exist so the general method of using this is virtually identical to the toothbrush
18:46
you just load it with paint and flick it at the vehicle but with it having such
18:51
different variance of bristle and thickness it really instantly shows you that you're getting it right and it's
18:57
lack of uniformity really looks good on the vehicle I was really pleased with this and I maybe go as far as say I was
19:04
actually quite enjoying myself so if I had to rank them and that's not really the idea but if I had to I would say
19:11
that in third place for me was the airbrush second place because it a so cheap and very quick to get your head
19:17
round toothbrush but this Pips it due to the lack of uniformity and just looking
19:23
like a genuinely muddy vehicle the AK splatter tool takes number one spot for
19:29
me I could count the times that I've used an airbrush probably on one hand
19:35
there's quite a variety of different styles out there and it's quite hard to know what to go for I don't know how to
19:41
pronounce it but let's try it together
19:46
Gallery they sent me this brush the GH a39 but inry got the better of me and I
19:52
also bought myself the 68 I've never seen a pistol grip airbrush before
19:59
my hands can cramp up a little bit using a regular brush for long periods of time so I wanted to see which one of these I
20:05
might prefer regular brush first gripping it like you would with a pen or a normal brush perhaps my aim isn't
20:10
terrible using this as you look down the length of the barrel this generally gives me more confidence of brushing on
20:15
highlights and zenithal and stuff like that as I'm confident I'm aiming in the right place my hand will start to wake a
20:21
little bit but nothing a quick break and a stretch can't fix I'm just priming a few models black here as you can see and
20:28
does a great job the pistol brush feels really comfortable in the grip I feel like this could be used as some retro
20:33
laser gun prop in moon raker or something like that it's still dual action which is awesome a normal brush
20:39
you push down to start the air flow then pull back to release the paint with this you pull the trigger back to a natural stop and then pull further to release
20:46
the paint functionally it's very similar but perhaps a little less control the
20:51
issue I faced sat down for this it feels really comfortable shooting from the hip keeping your hand sort of waist height
20:59
but because you're not looking down the barrel of the airbrush it does make aiming quite hard it feels a bit more
21:04
like a spray gun because of this trying to bring it up to look down the barrel
21:10
your back and your shoulders and your arms are in a bit of an uncomfortable position so whilst you might save your
21:16
hand and your wrist everything else starts to ache so maybe if you stood up you're keeping your arm quite low like
21:22
the specific uses here I think are quite important doing a bit more reading the pistol grips have been recommended if
21:28
you have mobility issues in your hands or wrists it's just easier to grip so if you have arthritis for example this is a
21:34
fantastic way of using an airbrush that's more comfortable as I have
21:40
learned with a more traditional airbrush that you sort of hold like a pen or a or
21:45
a paintbrush or what have you I find that a bit more versatile bit more comfortable to use but it's great that
21:53
for people that have uh different needs they're catered For so well done yeah
21:59
pick whatever suits you the best for me it's the traditional airbrush do You' L to Edge highlight your Miniatures and
22:06
they're looking really good but there's just something that could just make them pop that little bit more it may be
22:12
especially if you're painting vehicles or Space Marines panel lining just getting that shadow between two metal
22:18
armor plates can be the difference between it looking okay and it having some real depth quick disclaimer if
22:26
you're going to use either the panel in method or the oil paint method it's a good idea to gloss varnish the miniature
22:33
first it just helps with the capillary action of moving the paint around it's not really a requirement if you're using
22:39
the contrast don't worry if your miniature looks a little bit weird you can use a matte barnish afterwards and
22:44
bring it back down I haven't had to do it with these Miniatures because I've sprayed them with lead Bel spray it's
22:50
very smooth and it already acts almost like a varnish but if you're not using a
22:56
metallic spray what varnish please the first method I went with was Games
23:01
Workshop contrast paint I decided to use black Legion it's full of pigment and does a good job of getting into the gaps
23:06
between the plates straight from the bottle using a small headed brush I'm applying it by hand into the recesses
23:12
between the Marine's plates so here's the first Marine that's been painted with black Legion it's a little bit
23:17
thick in places and it's not that easy to control it does a reasonable job of making the miniature look like it's been
23:23
panel lined if you're looking to paint a number of figures quite quickly this probably isn't the fastest method to try
23:30
so the second method we went with was oil paint it involves having to get a nice ratio between oil paint and thinner
23:37
to get that capillary action but once you've nailed it it works really well and it's quite a quick thing to use I
23:43
would say the negatives of it is that there is a few steps to it involves
23:48
having to get yourself some decent thinners hopefully odorless so you don't smell the house out and it just getting
23:53
that ratio between the two is quite important and then you've got to maybe have some cleaner up to do afterwards as
23:59
it sometimes bleeds outside the edges which isn't massively difficult just use the same thinners and you can wipe it
24:05
away but again it makes the whole process just that little bit slower than maybe you'd like the third option we
24:12
went with was panel liner panel liner is really easy to use even if you've not used it before it'll take you no time at
24:18
all to be able to figure out how to get the best out of it the tiny brush really helps get in the detail and again just
24:24
like the oil paint the capillary action is really fun to watch as it zooms around the miniature it almost feels
24:30
like cheating how quickly this works so I think the positives for panel ler is it stays wet for a reasonable amount of
24:37
time so if you're not happy with the result it's very easy to take thinners and remove it the brush as I've already
24:43
mentioned works really well at getting into small details especially on things like Marines it saves you so much time
24:50
and really gives a good result quite quickly I'd maybe say sometimes it might take more than one go cuz it can some
24:57
times dry a little bit faint but with two applications of it it'll generally
25:03
look really good if I had to find a negative with panel liner unlike oil paint only seems to have one purpose
25:08
which is panel whereas oil paint you can turn into a wash for a number of different tasks cons aside I think it
25:14
does its job really well and that's why I'm going to say it's probably my favorite of the three zenial priming
25:21
fancy words for what I think essentially means covering a miniature in a dark
25:27
color usually a black from the top imitating a light source like the sun
25:32
for example going over with a lighter color and creating some volumes of light giving things a nice sort of natural
25:39
realistic look on your miniature maybe regardless of exactly
25:44
what it is it is proving a popular enough technique that several companies are now offering specific zenithal kits
25:53
firstly I'm going to take a simple white over black zenial and then spray some red contrast paint over the top I've
25:59
seen this done online loads of times never really done it myself I've already primed this black so I'm just using a
26:05
white from AK straight over the top and then going in with bar red contrast
26:14
paint the results here I think look fine this shoulder pad I'm especially happy with nice fade between red down to dark
26:21
red I guess with this method you've got a choice of color I chose B red as I mentioned but I could use
26:28
any contrast red from any brand I could use inks whatever I guess it's versatile
26:34
is what I'm trying to say rather than being locked into certain colors that that Brands want you to use next up from
26:40
AK interactive we have dual EXO paints everything's numbered and you've got an
26:45
A and A B for all the colors in the range take red for example we've got dirty red for the shadow tone and then
26:50
Supernova red for the midtone you can brush them on by hand but they can also go through an airbrush so that's what
26:56
I'm going to do the paints are around 5 quid a bottle I'm going to use my GH a39
27:02
and going in with dirty red to get everything base coated and then we're going in top down with Supernova because
27:09
I'm using the airbrush I've got the control to place the midtones where I like I mean it is me so let's go roughly
27:16
where I like nice blend between the two colors so far I'm going to try going in with a highlight so I'm going to use
27:22
this orange and I am a bit nervous about it as it does need to be subtle I think I've done oh K here I am wondering if I
27:29
should have started from black or maybe this could be improved with a recess shade either way I've got three-tone
27:36
power armor from dark to light faster and better than I could do with a brush smashing and then finally we're moving
27:42
on to color Forge color Forge has hit the spray game hard in the UK in recent years color match to GW Paints the cans
27:50
are bigger and cheaper which is ideal they've now made these zenial kits which include three sprays our pack includes
27:58
two Reds and an orange these cans are £12 each individually but you can bundle them up for 30 quid the equivalent in
28:05
dual XO is about £15 but you obviously have the expense of an airbrush and a
28:10
compressor if you don't already have one I can't lie in the rush to try and film this video I completely messed up the
28:18
first Marines I sprayed it had just finished raining it was windy it was cold not ideal conditions but I thought
28:24
I'd risk it and definitely suffered because of that I'll show you my shame here bubbles too much orange all user
28:31
error the next day I went back better weather and got some really nice results they're quite comparable to the airbrush
28:38
variety nice fade between colors with a bit of practice I'm sure I get better with the rattle cans as well the first
28:45
two colors are quite subtly different and then the oranges is quite a big step up so you've got to be careful with that
28:51
highlight color that's my main takeaway half a second too long spraying one
28:56
extra squirt and your Marine has lost that red look and and now it is just orange results I think I'm leaning
29:02
towards the airbrush versions purely on how they look but really I think it's
29:08
all about what you're using it for if you don't have an airbrush the cans are obviously better if you're undercoating
29:13
an entire Army as quick as possible I would say the cans are going to do that a lot faster if you want that specific
29:18
look that an airbrush will give you then you're going to want to go for the airbrush stuff I think everything has its place here for me having someone who
29:26
understands pain and the colors decide what I should be using I think is quite helpful I know the colors are going to
29:32
work with each other but then also having that choice to do whatever you want is also going to be great Cop Out
29:39
answer my apologies so that's it that's everything we have to test thank you so
29:45
much for watching the biggest thanks to our patrons who make all of these videos
29:50
possible without your support we would not be able to do what we do so thank you very very much I'm going to try and
29:57
post the links for everything that we've used down below in the description some of those will be affiliate links some
30:03
others won't be I'll try my best to make sure what's obvious and what isn't if there's anything else you'd like to see as test if you have any ideas of
30:09
products and bits and Bobs I've got a few ideas for video number two but please do let us know again have a good
30:15
