A while ago, fellow paint nerd P. Knightwind hosted a big paint ranking on Instagram, and I could hardly believe the results. Apparently, one of the best red paints came from the Green Stuff World’s Maxx Formula line. Makes Green Stuff World the sleeper hit paint range that nobody talks about? For this video review, I got my hands on the entire Green Stuff World paint catalogue – and I must say, the answer isn’t that simple.

Painting miniatures is now easier than ever – no brush required, just a single application and done. That’s the promise of the new Speedpaint Markers from The Army Painter. I’ve tested them to see whether they’re the real deal or just another hobby scam. In this review, I’ll also tell you all you need to know to get the best results, how to avoid damaging the tips, and compare them to their predecessors: the Speedpaint Markers from Deep Cut Studios.

There are two new paint sets from Monument Hobbies and Atomic Mass Games – and there’s quite a bit of confusion about what these AMP paints actually are. An expansion to Pro Acryl, or are they an entirely new standalone paint line? And is the formula different from the Pro Acryl main range? So many questions – and in this review, I’ve got the answers for you. I’ve tested both sets thoroughly and will explain the similarities and differences with Pro Acryl, and whether these AMP sets are worth a spot in your paint collection, or not.

Wave 1 of the revamped P3 hobby paints range has only just hit the shelves, and already the funding campaign for wave 2 is live on Gamefound. Alongside 64 new colours and 12 spray primers and varnishes, it’s the five premium “Pure” metallics that are really turning heads. Using an industry-first process, they promise a level of brilliance previously only seen with solvent-based metallic paints. But are they really worth £10 a bottle? I’ve put them to the test – here are my first impressions.

Remember your favourite paint range from the late 2000s? Formula P3 is back, baby! Following the unexpected acquisition of the Warmachine licence, Steamforged Games have relaunched the iconic P3 range via Kickstarter. They’re promising an updated formula and a fresh start. P3 was once hailed as the go-to paint for wet blending — but does that still hold up? And in a market now brimming with high-quality miniature paints, is that enough to make P3 stand out? In this review, I’ll test the entire new P3 range to answer these questions and more.

​​Painting miniatures with just one coat – with this premise and promise, Citadel Contrast revolutionised the tabletop hobby in 2021, spawning multiple competing products like the popular Speedpaint from The Army Painter. And now AK, best known for their 3rd Gen acrylics, are coming along with their new Quick Gen paints. Took them long enough. Maybe even too long, considering the amount of competition that is already there. Well, I’ve tested all 80 Quick Gen paints and I’ll tell you if they were worth the wait. Can they outperform the others or are they just another me-too Contrast copycat?

The Army Painter just released three new paint sets specifically for historical miniature painters – and they claim to offer historically accurate colours developed in collaboration with a respected military historian. But are these just repackaged Fanatic paints or do they offer something new, something useful for painting WWII armies with authenticity?
