​​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? #quickgen #akinteractive #review
