Army Painter: Warpaints - Starter Paint Set reviews

The set has all your basic colours to allow you to mix and blend to make any colour you need, plus leather and flesh tones to save you from having to mix those yourself. It would be even better with a second metallic tone, to enable some variation in metallics, but that's a minor complaint.

Not all colours are created equal here, with a few of the lighter colours going on slightly patchy, but every paint brand has one or two colours that are on the weaker side. Overall, the paints are highly pigmented and thin down wonderfully.

The set comes with their “strong tone” wash (a great timesaver), but the paints are high quality enough that you can thin down any colour to create washes of your own.

This set of paints (with a few addons like gold and copper) cover just about every basis you would need for painting humanoid miniatures. It comes with a good brush and an instruction booklet, but I didn't use the latter as I had already researched everything about painting my first mini. The paints look beautiful even when watered down. If you don't use preprimed minis like from wizkids, don't forget to get some primer!

A really good range to start painting with. Would like to see a brighter purple or a deeper red but aside from that, it's terrific! Really good set that has gotten me really into my painting.

Army painter paints are on par quality wise with Vallejo, and Citadel. But for a cheaper price.

They do have one downside tho, thats led to many to not fully give them a chance, and thats they do not perform best right off the bat, the paints have a thick heavy pigment compared to other brands, and it settles quite badly when stored for extended periods.

Best thing to do is, get a pack of their steel mixing balls, they are some of the best on the market. Using some pliars pop the tip out of the bottle and drop 1–2 balls in the bottle, and using the handle of a brush or some other mixing stick, give the paint as really good stir, scraping the sides and bottom of the bottle.

Then give them a really thorough shake, and once mixed well, they come out vibrant and cover really well.

Army painter is my go to for normal colors when I can get them, as the quality is fantastic and the price is even better.

9/10 you see someone complaining about army painter having poor quality paints, its a matter of they never mixed them right.

If you can afford it, one of those vortex paint mixers are great to own if you plan to get serious in the hobby too.

Just started into miniature painting so this paint kit was good for me to have the basic colours

Bought this kit for wooden model boats I build. Applies really well to the small wooden parts, dries really fast. Doesn't stick to superglue/ CA glue.
