It brings the battles fought and narratives forged to life right in front of you on the gaming table! The Army Painter was founded to help gamers of all types have more fun playing. Having painted miniatures using high-quality products, that are affordably priced, and perfect for the job. All designed to make painting fun, easy, and fast. Win back those hours at the hobby desk. Get More Time for Gaming! Here, we will showcase some of our core products and give you some tips along the way. Tools At The Army Painter, we create products that help you in your hobby journey. Most miniature wargaming and roleplaying projects start with assembling the miniatures. For that, we have made several different products Firstly, you will need a Self-Healing Cutting Mat to work on so you don't damage your tabletop when cutting and glueing. Next, most hobby kits require you to cut out parts from sprues with a Plastic Frame Cutter. You will probably want to glue these parts together with either Plastic Glue or Super Glue! Sometimes, you will want to remove the mold lines from the miniatures with either a Hobby Knife or a File. In case there are any unwanted gaps, these may be filled with Green Stuff, applied with a Sculpting Tool. At the same time, you may use the Hobby Drill to drill out gun barrels or to make room for Miniature & Model Magnets, allowing you to make interchangeable parts! Our Hobby Tool Kit is the perfect way to get a quick supply of hobby tools to get you started. With these steps done, all you need to do is grab a Colour Primer, spray your miniatures and start painting! Basing Battlefields Basing No miniature is done without creating its base. For this purpose, we have created a wide range of basing materials to glue onto your bases such as Snow, Rocks and different colours of Grass. Simply apply Basing Glue to the base and sprinkle the basing material on top to create the setting you desire for your miniatures. Basing Tufts Our Battlefield Tufts are a great way to quickly add colour and theme to your bases. Simply pick a tuft of the appropriate size with your Tweezers, apply some Basing Glue to the bottom and then stick it onto the base of your miniature. Tufts come in many different themes and colours, such as Deadland Tufts, Meadow Flowers or Lowland Shrubs. Battlefields Basing Set If you are looking for a quick way to get basing materials for your miniatures, the Battlefields Basing Set is perfect for you. It includes Basing Glue, Tufts, Snow, Rocks, Brown Battleground and Summer Undergrowth - a diverse set of options for basing your miniatures in the setting of your choice! Paint Brushes At the heart of The Army Painter - as it says in the name - is the act of painting. For this, you require paint brushes, and we have got them. Natural hair paint brushes, Synthetic paint brushes, Goat Hair, Kolinsky Sable... Whatever your need is, there is a paint brush for you. Some of our paint brushes come with our signature ergonomic triangular handle, helping you control and steady your hand while painting. Among them you will find drybrushes of varying shapes and sizes, made from synthetic or natural hair. The same goes for the regular shaped paint brushes, such as The Psycho, our tiniest paint brush, to the Monster Brush, the largest regular shaped paint brush. If you are a beginner, maybe the Hobby Starter Brush Set is the choice for you: Here, you will find brushes from our Hobby Range with brown handles. Perhaps you are a seasoned Wargamer, and in that case, our range of Wargamer Brushes with white handles are for you. If you are a veteran painter, you may be looking for the best brushes such as the Masterclass Brushes with the black handles. The Wargames Mega Brush Set is a popular option for anyone looking to establish a solid inventory of paint brushes for any occasion. Quickshade Dips & Washes For anyone who quickly needs to make a tabletop ready wargaming army of miniatures, The Army Painter Quickshade is the perfect product. It is one of the original products from The Army Painter, and its use follows this procedure: Spray, Paint, Dip, Done! The idea was to find a method that allowed for the fastest way to complete wargaming armies of any type. If you just paint miniatures with base colours, they tend to look flat and lifeless, but simply adding Quickshade after the basecolours will create shading and depth in no time! Depending on the look you are going for, three 250 milliliter Quickshade variants are available for the insanely fast "dip" method: Assemble and spray prime your miniatures with a Colour Primer, then basecoat the other main colours. Next, stir (don't shake) the Quickshade and dip the miniature in the Quickshade. Then shake off the excess and allow it to dry for at least 24 hours. Apply a coat of Matt Varnish and base your miniature. Now you are ready to game! If you are looking for Quickshade but wish to apply the coat by brush to achieve the same shading effect, you can find 11 different Quickshade Tones in 18 milliliter dropper bottles from the Quickshade Washes range. They are all available in the Quickshade Washes Set and include colours such as Green, Purple and Blue. Gaming Accessories Lasers The Markerlight Laser Pointer will show you exactly what your models can see - no matter the terrain or battlefield. No more discussions on a gaming table - point and shoot with precision! No more “seeing around the corner” or avoiding difficult terrain - Targetlock Laser Line is a fantastic aid for all types of wargaming. Also used for various psychic powers and spell effects! Project Paint Station The Army Painter Project Paint Station is the perfect accessory for the immaculate hobbyist, who wants all his/her Warpaints within easy reach and well-sorted, ready for painting. The Project Paint Station can hold up to 30 assorted Warpaints and 6 brushes, which is more than enough for any painting project. The Project Paint Station, due to its size and design, is extremely easy to store away – and is a very effective way of handling your painting project in a tight space. Made of lasercut MDF board, it is easy to assemble with PVA Basing Glue. Rangefinder Tape Measure The Rangefinder Tape Measure is an invaluable tool for playing most wargames. It totals 3 meters long and will easily measure any range or normal size gaming table. You can measure both in centimeters and inches! It has multiple stop functions for better and easier usability as well as a metal pocket hanger to always keep it at hand. Also Available from The Army Painter Colour Primers Colour Primers are some of our core products. They come in many different colours and are a 100% match to the Warpaints of the same name. Start your paintjob by spraying the miniatures with the most dominant colour to save time, and end the paintjob with a Varnish. Wet Palette The Wet Palette from The Army Painter is perfect for storing your brushes and keeping your paints moist between painting sessions. This way, you will save paint because it doesn't dry out, and also makes it easier for you to make custom blends of colours. Licensed Paint Sets If you are into a specific wargame or roleplaying game, maybe The Army Painter has made a paint set tailored for it! You may find paint sets for games such as Dungeons & Dragons paint sets, Star Wars: Legion sets, Guild Ball, Zombicide or Kings of War. Speedpaint If you are looking to quickly and easily paint miniatures, look no further than the Speedpaint range from The Army Painter. Simply start off with a white basecoat and apply one coat of Speedpaint to achieve basecoating, shade and highlights all in one go! Review: Really good - Great for Warhammer.
