The Army Painter brings together Fanatic, Speedpaint, Warpaints Air, metallics, washes, brushes, tools, and basing supplies for miniature painting. Choose a paint range for your preferred method, then add the supplies your models need.

We carry the paints and supporting hobby equipment in one place, with U.S.-based help when set names or included items are unclear. Browse individual colors and sets below, or check a starter selection with us before buying.

The Army Painter

What You Will Find in This Collection

The collection covers painting as well as assembly and basing. Choose the products for your next step rather than assuming every item is necessary for a first setup.

  • Paint ranges: Fanatic, Speedpaint, Warpaints Air, metallics, washes, and effects.
  • Brushes and tools: detail and drybrush sets, hobby knives, pin vises, drill bits, magnets, and glues.
  • Basing supplies: tufts, rocks, texture pastes, and pre-mixed materials for scenic bases.
  • Primers and varnishes: rattle-can and bottle options, each with its own application instructions.
  • Bundles and sets: starter kits and larger color collections with different included items.

Advantages, Uses and Quick Tips

The range supports different painting routines, from covering a gaming force efficiently to building controlled highlights on a display figure. Good results still depend on preparation, application, and drying between stages.

  • Use a suitable undercoat for the paint method you choose.
  • Build layers with Fanatic when you want control over opaque color and highlights.
  • Use Speedpaint over a suitable light undercoat when you want transparent color and shading.
  • Choose Warpaints Air for airbrush application and test your equipment settings.
  • Apply metallics and texture effects where the model calls for them rather than as automatic extra steps.

Our explanation of transparent miniature-painting methods helps you plan around the underlying color. Allow each layer to dry as directed before adding detail or finishing products.

Range Highlights to Help You Choose

Warpaints Fanatic

Fanatic is the brush-painting range for base colors, layers, and highlights. Its Flexible Triad system groups related colors from darker to lighter tones, helping you build a coordinated palette. Choose a few useful transitions before adding a large color collection.

Speedpaint

Speedpaint creates transparent color and shading over a suitable light undercoat. The undercoat, surface texture, and amount applied affect the result. The THE ARMY PAINTER: Speedpaint Starter Set 2.0 is a listed starting option; check the contents against the models you want to paint.

Warpaints Air

Warpaints Air is formulated for airbrush use. The THE ARMY PAINTER: Warpaints Air Starter Set contains 12 bottles of 18 ml paint. It is a paint set, so check your airbrush, compressor, hose, and cleaning supplies separately.

Washes, effects, brushes, tools, and basing materials complete the wider range. Match their application to the instructions instead of treating all products as interchangeable or universally compatible.

Build a Useful Army Painter Starter Setup

Start with the way you want to paint. The THE ARMY PAINTER: Warpaints Fanatic Starter Set suits a brush-led starting palette, while Speedpaint and Air offer different workflows. Compare the exact colors and included items before choosing a set.

  • For brush painting: select a suitable primer, useful colors, and brushes for the model.
  • For airbrushing: add a compatible airbrush setup and the paint's recommended preparation and cleaner.
  • For army painting: plan recurring colors, basing materials, and brushes around the whole force.

Why Get Your Hobby Supplies Here

We ship from our own warehouse in Oldsmar, Florida, and offer help with paint and equipment selection. Check the product listing for the specific set, bottle size, and availability. A manufacturer starter set and a store bundle with a similar name may contain different items.

If you are comparing beyond one brand, our model and airbrush paint range provides a broader shopping route. Build the order around your painting plan and the products already on your bench.

Use Paints, Primers, and Tools Safely

Read the labels for paints, primers, adhesives, and cleaners before use. Aerosols need their specified ventilation and ignition-source precautions. When airbrushing, avoid inhaling paint mist and use the ventilation and protective equipment required by the product.

Keep cutters, hobby knives, drills, and small parts away from unsupervised children. Follow age guidance and handle sharp tools on a stable work surface.

Questions About Your Army Painter Setup

Which range should I choose for my first set?

Choose Fanatic for a brush-led palette with separate layering and highlighting. Speedpaint suits a transparent-color approach over a suitable light undercoat. Choose Air if your plan includes an airbrush; then check the rest of the setup.

Does a Warpaints Air set include an airbrush?

A paint set does not automatically include an airbrush or compressor. Check the contents of the exact listing, especially when comparing a manufacturer set with a store bundle. Order the missing equipment separately.

Can I add Fanatic highlights over Speedpaint?

You can plan an opaque highlighting step over a Speedpaint base. Allow the underlying paint to dry according to the instructions and test the combination. Avoid disturbing the base while it is still wet.

Do I need to buy a separate wash for every model?

No. A wash is useful when the painting method calls for additional shading. Speedpaint already creates tonal variation, so choose extra products for the result you need rather than buying every category.

How do I avoid buying duplicate colors in a bundle?

Compare the named colors in the included-items list with the paints you own. Check whether extras such as a palette, brush, or primer are included. Similar set names do not guarantee identical contents.
