hello I'm peachy and today we are going
0:02
to be reviewing a copy of speedpaint 2.0
0:05
now I'm a big fan of using contrast
0:07
paints I use them a lot in my painting
0:08
I've never tried the original speed
0:10
paint so I can't make any judgments on
0:12
that we've been nicely sent this set to
0:14
review
0:15
um I'm gonna be put into the test in my
0:16
normal way of painting there's plenty of
0:19
other channels out there that have done
0:21
an in-depth review of each of the colors
0:22
and how they all work we're just going
0:24
to pop them into a test into a hobby
0:25
environment so stick them onto models
0:27
having a bit of fun and I've picked
0:29
Marines for this and I'm going to do a
0:30
white Scott and pearl Fist and a blood
0:32
Angel and see how we get on so stay
0:34
tuned and see what messes I make because
0:36
that's what I do I'm messy
0:39
so our first model we're going to paint
0:40
is gonna be a White Scar and we're gonna
0:42
be doing this over white undercoat so
0:44
I'm going to stop talking we're gonna
0:46
get some paint on the model and show you
0:47
how it's going to be doing as intended
0:49
after a white undercoat I'm going to use
0:51
my first speed paint which is Poppy red
0:52
this is for all the red details so
0:54
picking out that eagle and getting those
0:55
markings and before we do anything with
0:57
that armor so applying a speed paint to
0:58
that I'm going to make sure I get all
1:00
these other colors on and I can correct
1:01
them with white if I make any mistakes
1:03
because as you can see these markings
1:05
are a little bit rough
1:08
thank you
1:10
foreign
1:15
[Music]
1:17
details I'm going to get some poppy red
1:19
as well but I'm just going to send that
1:21
down slightly just so it's more Pinky
1:23
then it's on to picking out all the
1:24
black details again I'm not being so
1:26
concerned if I get this on the white
1:28
because again I can tidy back up if I
1:29
need to before we do that armor
1:36
and for silver details I'm going to be
1:38
using broadsword silver so this is quite
1:40
a weird one for me because I'm used to
1:42
applying silver and just coating over
1:43
models so this is like a silver contrast
1:45
very new to this idea but as you can see
1:47
nice quick easy results personally I
1:50
prefer just using silver but I can see
1:52
how this is going to be beneficial for
1:53
people on a tight deadline or just want
1:55
some color on a model
1:58
[Music]
2:01
then for any parchment I'm going to use
2:03
bony Mata
2:05
now after all those colors been applied
2:07
I'm going to get some white and just
2:08
tidy up so you know where I've got
2:10
markings is a bit messy where the black
2:12
may have gone on to some of the white
2:13
details it's just about going around the
2:14
model quickly tidying up before we apply
2:16
all over that armor with a gray and for
2:19
the armor I'm going to be using Ashen
2:21
Stone now I've thinned this down a
2:22
little bit I'm going to be applying that
2:24
all over the model
2:25
as you can see it's a perfect
2:26
consistency and the color settles in
2:28
nicely across the mini I'm also going to
2:30
add some extra in those deeper recesses
2:32
if it doesn't have enough punch
2:34
we're going to take your time be mindful
2:35
and you will see some pool in here and
2:37
there and with that pooling just get a
2:39
brush dry it off and soak up any of that
2:41
excess
2:42
now for some extra effects here I'm just
2:43
going to get some of that white I'm just
2:45
going to run my brush across the edge to
2:47
pick out any of those edges on the armor
2:48
and also to do some chipping across
2:50
those red markings as well you don't
2:51
have to do this I just think it looks
2:53
cool and adds an extra level of depth
2:56
oh
2:59
[Music]
3:00
and also once doing that I'm going to
3:02
get some occultist cloak I'm going to
3:04
sponge tip this now I've used sponge
3:06
chipping with contrast before so I'm
3:07
going to see how this works with the
3:09
speed paint and as you can see it is
3:11
pretty good I'm just going to remove
3:13
some off on the sponge onto some tissue
3:14
paper and just gently dab that across
3:17
any armor panels and that occult is
3:19
great it's popping out quite nice and
3:20
giving the armor a nice battered look
3:22
and it's just a matter of picking out
3:23
those blue details such as the eyes and
3:26
the consoles and I'm using magic blue
3:28
for this and just to finish that model
3:29
off just add a bit of punch to that
3:30
black leather I'm just going to
3:32
highlight that with Castle gray so there
3:34
we have it our white Scott is finished
3:35
I'm pretty chuffed with the results to
3:37
be fair there's a few little things I'll
3:39
do differently so the red itself is a
3:40
bit pinky maybe it needs an extra coat
3:42
the armor itself I know I thinned it
3:45
down and use it straight from the part I
3:46
think it's the perfect tone of gray but
3:48
it did need thinning down to get more of
3:50
that white shown otherwise there's a lot
3:52
more work to tidy that white back up and
3:54
the sponge chipping went really well I
3:55
was really pleased with that the silver
3:56
stuff
3:57
um it's ideal for beginners really like
3:59
the effects it gives and personally I
4:01
just use silver and wash it that's
4:03
that's just a personal thing the choice
4:04
of mine but I can see how useful that
4:06
will be for someone that doesn't want to
4:07
do that just want to get some color
4:08
straight on especially over white
4:11
um the reactivation thing's been taught
4:12
to death with army painter I had no
4:15
issues with the speed paints no
4:16
reactivation I highlighted over them I
4:18
washed over some of the colors I even
4:19
used Ash and gray over the red markings
4:21
which do the red down a little bit in
4:22
places no reactivation I would have
4:25
expected some bleed there was no bleed
4:27
so that was really really good so all in
4:29
all minimal effort maximum effect
4:31
I like my White Scar looks Mega so our
4:34
White Scar is done I'm now going to move
4:36
on to an imperial fist now I've found a
4:38
new way of doing yellow which I'm really
4:39
fond of which is using a pink spray and
4:42
then giving it dusting over of white you
4:43
could dry brush over white if you wanted
4:44
to
4:45
the thing with this is you need a nice
4:47
contrast a nice strong tone of like a
4:49
yellow ink or a yellow contrast so I'm
4:51
going to be using Mage yellow here to
4:53
see if that works with this effect and
4:55
then just add loads of colors to make it
4:57
look like an imperial fist so I'm eager
4:59
to see if this method's gonna work with
5:01
speed paint I'm fairly confident it's
5:02
gonna but we'll see so for our Imperial
5:05
fist we're going to start off by
5:06
undercoating with Pixie pink and then
5:08
once that's done we're going to dust
5:09
over a bit of white like I said before
5:10
you can always dry brush this with white
5:12
if you wanted to so I want to do now is
5:14
get Mage yellow and apply this all over
5:16
so this is going to be the proof of the
5:17
pudding to see if this works for this
5:19
effect and as you can see it's a perfect
5:20
consistency and the color is nice it
5:23
settles nicely across the mini and has
5:25
some really nice depth to those recesses
5:26
as well so so far so good really pleased
5:28
with this
5:29
[Music]
5:36
to punch those edges I'm just going to
5:38
dry brush with some skeleton bone now at
5:40
first I initially do this with armor if
5:42
it's all over
5:43
in hindsight I looked at it it didn't
5:45
really make that much of a difference
5:46
but the important bit to know is it
5:48
actually didn't reactivate as well so
5:49
that's good it didn't rub off because
5:51
I'm quite heavy on my dry brushing and
5:53
so there was no reactivation no rubbing
5:55
off and you can choose whether to
5:57
highlight a bone or not doesn't really
5:59
matter much difference in hindsight then
6:00
it's picking out all those black details
6:02
with grim black now I had some issues
6:04
here because I splodged a bit purposely
6:05
because I wanted to see how I corrected
6:07
that
6:08
um in hindsight I should have done this
6:09
during the pink and white stage before I
6:12
applied the yellow but that's just a
6:14
learning on my part now to correct this
6:16
if you have done it my way is to get
6:18
some skeleton bone for any splodges just
6:20
coat over those and then get some Mage
6:21
yellow the only difference here you'll
6:22
have a slight greenier tone but it's not
6:25
the end of the world especially if it's
6:26
small splodges on edges of armor now for
6:28
the silver speed paint or broadsword
6:30
silver as it's known I wanted to try
6:32
this to see what it looked like over
6:33
black now bear with me because in my
6:35
head it should work but it's a speed
6:37
paint slash contrast effect so it
6:39
probably shouldn't work but it's giving
6:41
it more of a gunmetal effect it's quite
6:43
dark it's it's subtle but I just wanted
6:45
to see if it worked over black and I'm
6:48
not that concerned by I can always dry
6:50
brush a highlight of silver if I need to
6:52
but it does go to show that it's still
6:53
got some punch that you can see metallic
6:55
elements to it so if you wanted like a
6:57
deep dark
6:58
or a Kai kind of armor you could apply
7:00
this over black and you'll still get
7:02
some metallic effects on the other hand
7:04
I applied hoplite gold and that really
7:07
punched out I was actually quite
7:08
surprised on how bright that was so
7:11
um I'll be doing that again um I'm
7:13
really really surprised by how Punchy
7:15
hop like gold is over black
7:17
then I want to do some more Sponge chip
7:19
in here I'm using Satchel Brown and
7:20
again really pleased with the effects
7:21
it's looking nice it's doing what I
7:23
wanted to do
7:24
so yeah Big Win For That
7:27
then picking out like the pure to seal
7:29
wax and the parchment I'm gonna use some
7:31
skeleton bone for that as well and then
7:32
apply some poppy red to the wax and then
7:35
some bony Mata to the parchment
7:37
[Music]
7:39
then all I'm going to do here is get
7:42
some white pick out the eyes and the
7:43
consoles then apply some magic blue to
7:46
those eye lenses and Contours really
7:47
nice color as well
7:51
and then again get some Castle black and
7:54
highlight that leather I'm also going to
7:56
use it on the gun cases as well just to
7:58
add a little bit more punch to that
8:02
so our Imperial fist is done it behaved
8:04
exactly as I hoped it would which was
8:07
applying a yellow over the pink and
8:09
white spray so I'm really pleased with
8:10
that it's a really nice color as well it
8:13
kind of sits somewhere between Imperial
8:14
Fist and I guess iron in yellow so I
8:16
quite like that it's like a nice richer
8:18
richer yellow the chipping worked well
8:20
the only issue I really had was
8:22
correcting mistakes now in hindsight I
8:24
should have changed the order should
8:25
have done the black before I applied the
8:26
yellow and that's the only thing I found
8:28
with that sometimes I like contrasts you
8:30
can mix in a bit of base paint into the
8:32
contrast like a bone or whatever so I
8:34
kind of try to do that but it didn't
8:35
quite work so I just painted it very
8:37
applied Mage yellow slightly different
8:39
effect really intrigued by the metallics
8:41
as well I've used them a couple times at
8:43
home so I know what they can do over
8:44
white and light undercoat but it was
8:46
interesting to see what it looked like
8:47
over black
8:48
again effect was a dark gunmetal very
8:51
much like Rook High armor but that gold
8:52
was quite surprising on how Punchy that
8:55
goal was so big win there quite like
8:57
that
8:58
um all in all great results no
8:59
reactivation did some highlighting that
9:02
was fine there was no mixing in
9:04
um even with the tighten up of the black
9:05
with like whites and yellows again
9:07
nothing weird happened so yeah another
9:09
win one minor issue we found was we're
9:12
not quite sure at the moment how it
9:13
happened but on the actual gun casing as
9:15
it's dried the black it's pulled away
9:17
you can see some of that pink and white
9:18
Shen through that might be because I was
9:20
too aggressive with the hair dryer it
9:21
was on too much of a higher heat it
9:23
wasn't really cold in this room so I
9:25
don't think it was a cold element so it
9:27
might have been just me being a bit
9:28
impatient and just blasting it with hot
9:31
air and that's probably what's done it
9:32
so you'll notice that probably on the
9:34
360 as it's going around like what the
9:36
hell is that pink highlighting you've
9:37
done on the gun there PG that that's
9:40
probably a painter error although I'm
9:42
going to put that on me we'll just see
9:44
again because we're testing these out if
9:46
it if it crops again again it might be
9:48
me it might be the paint don't know
9:50
let's see put angels next let's go red
9:53
so for our undercount the blood angel I
9:55
decided to go with skeleton Bane now the
9:56
reason for doing this is I wanted to try
9:58
a more muted base if you like for the
10:01
red because I tried it with like the
10:02
bright red table white and stuff like
10:04
that and it was just too bright too
10:05
candy so I thought let's have a darker
10:08
tone of the undercoat and see if that
10:10
affects the red
10:11
um so that's why I've gone with skeleton
10:13
bone so what I'm going to do here is get
10:14
Poppy red again it's neat so I'm going
10:17
to place all over it's got a nice pivot
10:18
consistency the colors settling nicely
10:20
what I'm expecting here as well as it
10:22
dries it'll pull away from the edges a
10:23
bit more to give you a bit of a natural
10:24
highlight but as you can see it's
10:27
applied getting into those depths
10:28
settling really nicely and just good
10:30
application all over
10:33
[Music]
10:38
now I'm used to using black Legion and
10:41
applying that straight ever red so I
10:42
wanted to see if Grim black had a
10:43
similar effect if it could coat over
10:45
some of that red one coat not so couple
10:47
of coats actually it did hide it a lot
10:49
so all I'm going to do is black out all
10:50
those details like the gun the under
10:52
suit
10:53
but in this case because it's green
10:54
black and you just need a couple of
10:56
coats it's not got as much pigment as
10:59
black Legion would have but I'm fine
11:00
with that
11:04
then I'm going to apply broadsword
11:06
silver to any silver details again still
11:09
works well over black weirdly this looks
11:10
lighter than the Imperial fist but that
11:12
might because I shook it up more I don't
11:14
know
11:15
um but I'm happy with the results I just
11:16
wanted to try that again see what I look
11:18
like and top light gold Doom what hop
11:20
like gold did and just punching out
11:21
quite nicely
11:24
then I'm going to pick out whites for
11:25
the eyes Purity seals consoles Etc in
11:28
preparation for like some other colors
11:30
because of blood angels I'm going to go
11:32
for green eyes and for this I'm using
11:33
Shamrock green also apply that to the
11:36
consoles on their wrists as well now I'm
11:38
going to move on to highlighting so this
11:39
is like an extra step thing you can
11:40
leave your models as is but I just want
11:42
to try some nice highlights on here so
11:43
I'm going to get castle gray again for
11:45
the highlights of the black leather
11:45
really like Castle gray as well really
11:47
nice color
11:48
to work your way around do some scratchy
11:49
effects as well now for the highlights
11:51
for the red armor I did spend a little
11:53
bit of time trying every orange and red
11:55
Under the Sun the Army Painters Supply
11:57
just to because I'm trying to find
11:58
something close to what I normally use
11:59
like wild Rider red
12:01
um and some of them just were a bit too
12:03
muted some of them because it's puppy
12:05
red it's new I've never tried it before
12:06
it's not quite the same with some of the
12:08
contrast I've used so I was trying to
12:10
find a color that worked well with it in
12:11
the end I found el flash was really
12:13
really nice added a bit of punch and
12:15
because as it dries it will show some of
12:16
that red through it's not reactivated
12:18
it's just natural that some of that
12:19
color will punch through especially if
12:21
you really light highlights if you like
12:22
highlighted pink with white it'll look
12:24
like a really light parsley Pink So L
12:26
flash have just seemed like the right
12:28
kind of color to do so I decided to
12:29
highlight the whole lot with old flesh
12:31
do some little bits of chipping a little
12:33
bit of battering it kind of tied in
12:34
quite nicely with some of those
12:35
highlights coming through from the
12:37
skeleton bone as well
12:39
and then just to try something out on
12:42
this model I thought you know what I'll
12:43
apply some washes over those metallics
12:45
just to see if it reactivates see if it
12:47
does anything so I've got some dark tone
12:49
plug it over the silver applied over the
12:50
gold guess what dimmer activate look
12:52
great so there we are washes work over
12:55
this as well so our blood Angel is done
12:57
now we had some issues with the blood
12:58
needle first of all the darker undercoat
13:01
worked great so it opens up actually
13:03
using different tones of undercoat to
13:04
see what effects you can get from them
13:06
so I was quite pleased with that muted
13:07
red that we got from it what we did find
13:09
and I'm quite confused about this I'm
13:12
not quite sure how it's happened so our
13:13
Reds cracked and our blacks cracked a
13:15
bit and we've been looking over some of
13:16
the models some of the ones like the
13:17
Imperial fist had a little bit of
13:19
cracking again is it because I used a
13:21
undercoat diff like the Bony undercoat
13:24
is it because I used a hair dryer is it
13:26
combination of the two so me and Pat
13:28
decided to do some rigorous testing so
13:30
we got sprue we sprayed it up we tried
13:33
different undercoats we tried different
13:35
colors some hair dried some really
13:36
heavily hair dried some super hot some
13:38
not
13:40
um and we couldn't recreate those
13:41
conditions and we're not quite sure why
13:43
it's cracked I think it's a personal
13:45
error on my part I think I may it seems
13:48
to be where it's pulled the most
13:51
um so I think it's down to that it's
13:52
cooled a lot and I might have blasted
13:54
with too much heat that's that's my
13:56
thought on why this has happened and the
13:59
other thing that we did have so we
14:01
talked about no reactivation and so
14:03
we've like dry brushed over we've
14:05
highlighted over we've even washed over
14:06
colors but what was weird was when I
14:09
applied snow to the base it was fine
14:12
um started to dry left it to the sides
14:14
finished watching my favorite TV show
14:16
went to bed woke up the next morning it
14:18
bled around the edges just a little bit
14:20
just a little bit of red has gone into
14:22
the snow
14:23
um what I am going to do because I'm not
14:25
done ex I want you to see what that
14:26
looks like because I'm now going to have
14:28
a go at putting some more snow on top
14:30
let that dry and see if it continues to
14:32
bleed and if it doesn't great that hides
14:34
the issue
14:36
um because it might just be the way I I
14:38
applied it I don't know
14:40
um so that's just something I'm going to
14:41
try and test now so we'll just see if
14:43
that makes that much of a difference
14:45
um but yeah not quite sure where the
14:47
cracking is coming from
14:49
so we'll see if that's just a a user a
14:52
user error which is me because well I am
14:55
an error so there we have it we've
14:57
tested speedpaint 2.0 honestly and this
15:01
is honest big fan lots of choice more
15:04
tools to the toolbox I like using
15:06
contrast style paints uh there's
15:08
obviously plenty more out there
15:10
um but with the speed paint ones I've
15:11
got because I did in fact I'm going to
15:13
grab it now so you can see it I made a
15:14
little list of comparisons to contrasts
15:16
versus speed paints just starting for me
15:18
when I'm working out at home well it
15:20
looks like like is this one close to
15:21
this color is this one close to that
15:23
color
15:23
there's a lot more tones in between some
15:25
of the Citadel ones as well so I've got
15:27
more Choice
15:28
um some of the tones are slightly
15:29
lighter or slightly darker so that gives
15:30
me even more Choice
15:33
um and
15:35
for me personally there's a there's a
15:37
wider selection of greens and flashes as
15:39
well and I like to play around with like
15:40
camos and flesh tones and stuff like so
15:43
that's really nice other than the weird
15:45
red situation that we've had uh no
15:48
reactivation
15:49
um obviously we're still working out
15:50
what what I've done wrong that's
15:52
probably gonna be me uh but all in all
15:54
really pleased with them they do what
15:55
they they said on the tin
15:57
um and yeah they're gonna get your
15:59
models on the tabletop quicker and those
16:02
metallics personally I'll probably use
16:03
silver and wash but I can see how
16:05
beneficial they're going to be to
16:06
someone that's really new hasn't got
16:08
much time or just want to get some color
16:09
on a white undercoated model uh I hope
