About this deal

It’s likely you already know this, but there were a few reasons I wanted to get an airbrush, and many more advantages I’ve found since. This is my practice Dark Angels Space Marine against the Airbrushed version, Fair I used different colours but we are comparing the paint consistency on the armour here. as you can see the airbrushed model looks much smoother with no brush marks This is the primary benefit, especially for those in cold or damp climates, with rattle-cans you will find inconsistent results depending on the outside temperature and humidity. In some cases, you simply cannot prime your minis as the air properties will have too much of an impact on the drying of a spray can, and your primer coat could be ruined. While choosing your first small passion project, consider if you’d like to spend any time at all assembling those miniatures before you paint them — because you don’t actually need to. If you focus on getting the best model paint, the best brush, and the model that you are keen on painting, then your job is more than 90% done toward completing your starting miniature painting kit. What is the Miniature Painting “Triad”? This is all you need to get started painting miniatures: paint, a brush, and your model (the canvas).

Below I have added some pictures of my models before and after I got my first Airbrush. In most cases, these models have been painted justdays apart with my brushed models being used as my colour scheme tests and my airbrushed models being the final result. can you see the difference in finish quality? Citadel (Games Workshop’s paint division) is a staple name in miniature war games. This starter set from the makers of Warhammer 40,000 has something many others don’t — basic modeling tools . If you are intermediate to advanced with airbrushing and paint all of your minis with some level of fine airbrush work, you already have your paint thinning supplies, a good technique and you have the budget! Then you want to be looking at the best-in-class models. You want to look for ones with pointed round ends, bristle length between 8 to 12cm, and belly length between 1.5 to 2cm. If you’d like to give painting miniatures without blowing a fortune, boy do I have a deal for you. The Reaper Master Series Paints starter kit is a fantastically budget- and beginner-friendly stepping stone into the hobby.Projects can use multiple styles. With this mutant sand flea for Necromunda, I used layer painting for the miniature human and contrast painting for the flea. Photo: Charlie Hall/Polygon The Pot’s main function is to give you somewhere to spray your waste when you’re cleaning your airbrush out. It saves you wasting tissues as you spray water through to clean it. Just spray into this pot and it will capture everything without leaving a mess. That’s It They feel cheap, the airbrush is trash, they are heavy, their charge doesn’t last very long and the pressure is rather poor. These are first-class paints in every possible way. Vallejo colors have excellent coverage and surface adhesion .

Charlie Hall is a journalist, photographer, and miniature painter with 10 years’ experience working at Polygon. After spending time as a writer and reporter, he became Polygon’s tabletop editor in 2021. He’s served as a judge for GAMA’s Origins Awards .

The essential ingredients for painting miniatures include the paint, brush, and the model you want to paint. For other tools and supplies you may want to add to your hobby, especially if you are budget-minded, see what stuff I boil down for you here. There are many different types of miniature paint sets available, each tailored to different types of models and preferences. Some sets may be designed for specific genres or time periods, such as World War II tanks or fantasy characters. Others may be designed for specific techniques or effects, such as weathering, metallic, or even chameleon finishes. DROPPER CAP TO PREVENT DRYING - Get the exact amount you need with the ergonomically designed dropper bottle, so you won't be wasting any paint. The colours are highly pigmented; give the bottle a good shake before you squeezeAlso, if all you ever want to do with an airbrush is Priming, base-coating or at most some Zenithial shading. Then you won’t ever need more than a cheapo option anyway. Update: Chris from The Hobby Hangout Facebook Group has given us the sizes (1) Fine is 0.2mm. (2) Medium is 0.3mm and (3) Large is 0.5mm. You don’t need premium colors when you start miniature painting — but having the best colors certainly doesn’t do any harm.
