Base paints contain more pigment than others, which means they give strong, solid coats. This makes them ideal for applying as a foundation for other paints.
Layer paints have less pigment in than Base paints and flow better from the brush. They’re designed to be applied on top of Base paints to make them brighter, or to add highlights.
Shade paints are formulated to flow into the recesses of your models, leaving very little pigment on raised areas. This creates shadows on your miniatures, adding contrast and bringing them to life.
Dry paints have less medium in them than other paints, so they are ideal for drybrushing – a technique for quickly highlighting your miniatures.
With a unique formulation, Contrast paints have many uses. They can be applied over a white basecoat to base, shade, and layer a miniature in one go, or they can be used to glaze or tint other paints.
Technical paints let you add all sorts of special effects to your models. Churned earth, grisly gore, corrosion or spectral glows – each makes for an eye-catching way to finish your miniatures
Cover your miniature in one solid coat of colour, perfect for applying Base paints and Contrast paints to.
