0:01

0:05
suitcases worth of third gen acrylic
0:08
paints from ak interactive
0:10
[Music]
0:20
being a fledgling youtube channel in the
0:22
hobby space we've been on the lookout
0:24
for supplies and ideas for future videos
0:27
being relatively new to the hobby i've
0:29
been following a lot of youtube
0:31
tutorials which you can follow the
0:33
action up here and see what i've been
0:35
doing with my iron warriors and going
0:38
through those i've just been buying
0:39
usually citadel paints as and when i've
0:41
needed them to follow these specific
0:43
videos here at the painting phase we are
0:45
really keen to try out these new paints
0:47
stack them up against some other brands
0:48
and see how they come out but really
0:50
it's just great to have some extra
0:52
colors in the arsenal that we can pull
0:54
out as and when we need them but enough
0:57
about why i bought these paints let's
1:00
get into what you actually get in the
1:01
box
1:06
11 kilograms 236 paints we have this
1:11
beautiful two-story suitcase containing
1:14
everything from ak interactive's third
1:17
gen acrylic range get some of the boring
1:19
nitty-gritty out the way first it does
1:21
come with a carry case and two keys
1:22
which i currently don't have any use for
1:24
but who knows maybe in the future the
1:26
case comes with two stories or two
1:28
compartments with the paint pretty
1:30
evenly split between the two levels the
1:32
build quality of this case is really
1:35
good it's doubled up as a seat in my
1:37
tiny office space slash studio space
1:40
that i have here and it hasn't broken
1:42
the black plastic that they've used to
1:44
construct the side of the suitcase is
1:46
quite abrasive so
1:48
be wary of losing some skin if you do
1:51
brush up against it a little too
1:52
vigorously getting inside of the case
1:55
each one of the 236 paints has its own
1:58
cut foam space and everything looks
2:01
incredibly neat this as a storage
2:05
solution for me is an incredible bonus
2:07
because my office is pretty tiny and all
2:10
of my hobby supplies are pretty much
2:13
hidden out of frame i've tried some of
2:16
the laser-cut wooden paint racks i've
2:18
also got some of the plastic versions
2:20
from games workshop and i can't say that
2:22
i've been a huge fan reorganizing my
2:25
citadel paints into those racks can be a
2:28
massive painting brother so quite often
2:31
they end up
2:32
a bit unorganized on the floor and then
2:34
i'm kicking them around and it is just a
2:36
complete mess
2:38
please don't judge me whereas this
2:39
suitcase eliminates all of those
2:41
problems opening it up is incredibly
2:44
satisfying it's just like seeing a
2:46
wargaming
2:48
rainbow of joy moving on to the paints
2:51
themselves they're all in the small
2:52
dropper bottles which will seem very
2:54
familiar if you've used anything from
2:57
vallejo's range the main visual
2:59
difference being the caps have two
3:00
textures on so you can really get a bit
3:02
of leverage if any paint gets dried on
3:05
the inside of the cap apparently the
3:07
inside of the cap has been designed to
3:08
help prevent blockages but i can't
3:10
attest to if that works or not because
3:12
i'm just opening them for the first time
3:14
this isn't review just an unboxing one
3:16
of the first things you see when you
3:17
open the paperwork that comes with this
3:20
is they suggest dropping some of the
3:23
paint in to the cap of the lid so when
3:26
you open your suitcase you can see
3:28
what the color is going to look like
3:31
they do make it look very simple and
3:32
straightforward to do this in the book
3:35
but doing it
3:37
236 times apart from being a bit
3:40
laborious a few air bubbles later
3:43
some of these caps certainly are a bit
3:46
messy than they were
3:48
when i first got them i'm looking at you
3:50
laser magenta
3:52
here's it burn them all deviate the
3:54
paints are then split up into different
3:57
categories and it's the colours of the
3:59
labels that denote what kind of paint
4:02
they are so we start off with our orange
4:04
label paints which include all of the
4:07
average paints in the range as well as
4:10
fluorescent and
4:12
some of the clear colors as well moving
4:15
on we've got light blue which is all of
4:18
the pastels then we have dark blue which
4:20
is all of the metallics
4:22
there's all of the gun metals and the
4:24
golds and brass that we're used to in
4:25
these kind of paint ranges but there's
4:27
some really interesting bright colored
4:30
metallics which i'm going to have to try
4:32
and find a use for the grey denotes the
4:35
mediums all your varnishes etc the brown
4:38
or the black label means you're playing
4:39
with an ink and then the yellow labels
4:42
and i quote
4:43
these tones contain pigments of high
4:46
purity and high concentration for the
4:48
most vivid colors i think these are some
4:52
of the paints that i'm the most excited
4:54
to try everybody has experience with the
4:57
whites and the blacks from the citadel
4:59
range and they have quite a poor
5:01
reputation so i am really excited to try
5:04
some of these which i do hear are great
5:07
so as far as many wargaming channels go
5:09
we firmly fall in the predominantly
5:13
warhammer 40k camp and looking at this
5:16
set of paints it's certainly designed
5:18
for
5:19
historical war gaming all of the
5:21
literature that comes with it the
5:22
majority of the pictures on the website
5:24
are all painting dioramas tanks and
5:27
aeroplanes it is quite nice to look
5:29
through this collection and see colors
5:31
like yellow golden yellow deep yellow
5:34
and radiant yellow would you believe
5:37
greenish white
5:39
actually looks
5:41
like a greenish white having descriptive
5:43
colour names who'da thought is quite
5:46
helpful there are some specific army
5:48
colours like british khaki japanese
5:51
brown to name but two they sound like
5:53
they're based on
5:54
uniforms or certain shades but i could
5:57
well be incorrect i can appreciate the
6:00
simpleness of this naming scheme coming
6:02
from citadel paints where if i need to
6:04
paint a blood angel i need mephiston red
6:07
wild ladder red evil sun scarlet fire
6:09
dragon bright i mean you do get used to
6:11
the names i guess but it will be quite
6:13
nice just to go
6:15
red
6:16
so let's move on to cost and how well
6:18
they stack up against the competition
6:19
i'm going to be directly comparing them
6:21
against the two other main brands of
6:23
paints that i have behind me which is
6:25
citadel and pro acrylic at retail in the
6:28
uk you can expect to pay 2.75 for a
6:31
citadel paint with the exception of a
6:33
couple of the metallic paints which are
6:35
3.75 all pro acrylic paints are 3.99 and
6:40
ak is coming in at
6:42
294.
6:44
working out the cost per milliliter of
6:46
paint we've got citadel at 23p per mil
6:50
some of those expensive metallics go up
6:52
to 31 pro acryl at 18 pence a mil and
6:56
then ak coming in just underneath at 17.
7:00
if we take into account the discount for
7:02
buying the case and all of the paints in
7:04
bulk the price falls quite considerably
7:07
from 294 to roughly 254 and 17 pence per
7:12
mil
7:13
down to 14 by grab that's hammer
7:16
what a saving
7:18
obviously buying all of it in bulk up
7:21
front
7:22
is expensive this entire box was
7:26
about 600 pounds which is a lot of money
7:30
but if you are in the market for buying
7:32
an entire range of paints in its own
7:34
suitcase that looks awesome
7:36
for your own youtube channel
7:39
this is quite a good way to go i think
7:41
so there we have it
7:43
so there we have it that is what is in
7:45
the box i'm looking forward to trying
7:47
these out after i get my iron warriors
7:50
out of the way you can expect some
7:51
comparison videos
7:53
with the three paint brands maybe we'll
7:55
throw vallejo in there as well if i get
7:57
some more but i don't think i need to
7:59
buy
8:00
any more paint right now maybe i'll
8:02
paint some custodies
8:05
anyway the only thing i've got left to
8:07
do is
8:08
tell jeff that
8:10
i bought an entire suitcase of paint
8:13
see what he says
8:14
nice stucco heavy oh my goodness
8:18
she's hurt christ
8:20
oh deviant me oh god the sense machine's
8:23
in this money oh my god
8:26
so this is no
8:28
this is all of the third gen acrylics
8:31
uh that we can use
8:34
