AMMO Wargaming Universe Books & Guides

Painting & Modeling Reference Guides

Miniature projects often combine several techniques, including base colors, highlights, shadows, washes, drybrushing, pigments, basing, and weathering. Books and guides can help organize these steps and provide visual references for different types of models and finishes.

Each publication can focus on a different subject or workflow, so check the individual product page for the exact theme, language, format, and content included.

Topics Covered by Wargaming Publications

Depending on the selected title, AMMO Wargaming publications may cover areas such as:

• Miniature painting: Color application, highlights, shadows, details, and finishing stages.
• Figures and characters: Painting approaches for armor, clothing, skin, equipment, and other miniature details.
• Vehicles and equipment: Painting and weathering methods for mechanical or tabletop subjects.
• Basing and terrain: Groundwork, scenery, environmental details, and display bases.
• Weathering: Techniques involving dirt, pigments, surface variation, wear, and environmental effects.

Visual Reference for Miniature Projects

Modeling publications can be useful when planning color placement, sequencing different painting stages, or studying how several techniques work together on one miniature or scene.

Because the subjects vary between books, use the individual publication description to determine whether a title matches the type of model or technique you want to study.

Books for Figures, Terrain & Tabletop Models

The collection includes publications connected to the broader AMMO Wargaming Universe range, making these guides relevant to projects such as individual figures, squads, fantasy or science-fiction subjects, vehicles, scenery, bases, and diorama-style displays.

Different books may emphasize different subjects, so there is no need to treat every publication as a general-purpose painting manual.

Using Guides Alongside Painting Tools

Publications can be used alongside paints, brushes, pigments, and other modeling materials when following or adapting a technique shown in a guide.
