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. 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! 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. 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. ## Features - πŸ› οΈ ESSENTIAL PRECISION TOOL FOR YOUR HOBBY PROJECTS - This Stainless Steel Cutter Is A Key Tool For Any Hobbyist, Beginner And Veteran Alike.
