Painting an entire miniature using The Army Painter's Speed Paints | WH40K | Salamander

Trying out @The Army Painter 's new Speed Paint range and painting up a Salamander! Really loved how my Blood Angel and Dark Angel came out so wanted to take their bright green for a spin.

That came out MUCH better than I expected! I'm a big fan of the speedpaints over metallic bases too. Nice work and please keep finishing with the outtakes! 🤣

[SaltySeadogKP]

Love it! The Speed Paints are a very good tool in the arsenal. I did an army of Stormcast primed in Army Painter Plate Mail and then the colors were a 50/50 mix of Absolution Green and Magic Blue to make a deep teal color

Thanks for the blast from the past with the reference of "turning itself on" at minute 3:30. Robert Palmer - I Didn't Mean To Turn You On

That green looks incredible, I definitely need to buy some to test it out.

[TheSithsapwn]

Great video.

The thing on is chest is an Aquila.

For Salamander pouches, black, for other Space Marines, mainly brown.

I really love the metallic and speedpaint on the gun.

For the base, always lava bases for Salamanders, goes with the lore.

I just bought the whole paint set as a first paint set that wasn't GW and I'm doing Salamanders and had no clue which colours to use thanks a ton man, looked amazing at the end

[Razyrazer]

My sets coming in july 9 cant wait your vids have sold me on them.

[TheAmazingArgi]

If you can't pick between regular marines might I suggest speedpainting an Adeptus Custodes or a Gray Knight over metallic priming? I love their look (especially GK's blue-ish silver) and I think it would make for a very interesting video!

[PalmerDemetrius]

Orc Green is one of my favorites out of the whole set. Cant see the problem with it. My top 5 would be Orc Green Magic Blue, Blood Red, Sand Golem and Dark Wood.

This was super helpful! I've been trying out speed paints on my own Salamanders and it wasn't quite turning out the way I wanted and I guess I wasn't using enough of the speedpaint.

Looks like a good color for Sons of Medusa.

i'm quite the beginner, only done some 10 models over 5-6 months, and i find that the reactivation feature is really neat. when i eventually mess up, because i most certainly will, i can just get a wet brush and remove the speed paint without worrying about the rest of the paint job. i usually only use speed paints for faces, "annoying bits" and zombicide hero models that have too many tiny details making it impossible to paint traditionally, and being able to easily fix any error is really great.
i also tend to use a light grey, Vallejo stonewall grey, mixed with some ice yellow (AK interactive) on the minis before i apply speed paint, i find that it gives a slightly darker yet warmer tone to the speed painted minis compared to flat white or slightly off white.

Please do Raven Guard with speed paints They are painted black but...not black...lol. BTW, love your channel for years!

[MistahJ-dlyz]

Loving the Speed Paint videos you've done. I've just got back into 40k after a 20yr absence, it's changed a lot, not just the game but the painting aspect also. Any chance you'd be able to paint a Marine up as a Crimson Fist? I think Cloudburst Blue looks the most likely speed paint to use? Thanks!

Regarding reactivation, I heard that speedpaint on top of speedpaint is fine as long as you are a bit gentle with the brush. Other normal paintbrands like Vallejo is supposed to work if you first mix a bit of speedpaint into them before you apply them on top of a speedpaint. Actually makes sense but got no speedpaints to try it out with. If this holds true, my guess is that you could thin your paint primarily with speedpaint and probably move on to regular mediums instead of water when you don't want more speedpaint properties.

The aquilla could be any color and some chapters just have preferences but you should be able to get glorious results if you girst apply a highlight color with regular acrylics and then a darker, speedpaint on top of it. Maybe use that reactivation to your advantage and do some wet drybrushing on the top before you varnish the results :)

Contrast and speedpaint is so similar but also so very different, tools in a toolbox

[HeadCannonPrime]

I know you love doing gold using silver and a layer of yellow speedpaint over. You have GOT TO TRY spray a model metallic GOLD and put Magic Blue or Highlord Blue over it. It makes a Metallic turquoise green like I have never seen before.

[lucse]

Awesome, well done! Just started using my own speedpaints thanks to your channel. Quick question though; I've tried priming with matt white and wasn't super convinced. I might go your route with the wraithbone but I was also wondering what you think about a black primer with white drybrush on top as the undercoat?

Would love to see a couple of the same mini's with different priming methods all painted next to each other.

[simonruche]

Hey, love the channel! Started painting only a month ago and only did about 10 miniatures. I was advise to go for speedpainting and I really love it.
It's never really mentioned, but how long do you usually wait between two colors? I'm sure it depend on the color and how much paint you put but I want to have a raw idea.
Thank you!

Thank you for the video. So even after it has dried the speedpaint can be reactivated again by a wet color being painted over the dry layer?
