A Sinister Deep Green Foundation
Blighted Green expands the Deep Greens Flexible Triad with a darker and more ominous starting color. It can be used beneath brighter green midtones and highlights while preserving a shadow-heavy, atmospheric finish.
This makes it useful for miniatures that need green surfaces without a clean, bright, or freshly painted appearance.
Deep Greens Flexible Triad PLUS+
Blighted Green is the John Blanche Masterclass addition to The Army Painter Deep Greens Flexible Triad PLUS+ family.
It can be combined with Angel Green, Guardian Green, Greenskin, Eternal Hunt, Wild Green, and Ferocious Green to build a consistent progression from deep shadow to bright green highlights.
Created for Grimdark Miniature Painting
The John Blanche Masterclass range supports expressive, textured, gothic, and story-driven miniature painting.
Blighted Green works naturally with damaged armor, diseased surfaces, corrupted creatures, weathered fabrics, dark forests, moss-covered terrain, and other subjects that benefit from a muted green foundation.
Suggested Painting Uses
- Dark or corrupted green armor
- Ork, ogre, goblin, and creature skin
- Diseased or unnatural organic details
- Weathered fabric, cloaks, and leather
- Forest, moss, roots, vines, and foliage
- Industrial and post-apocalyptic terrain
- Cold green shadows and underpainting
- Grimdark and Blanchitsu-inspired miniatures
Warpaints Fanatic Acrylic Formula
The Warpaints Fanatic formula uses dense pigmentation in a premium resin base with proprietary stabilizers. This supports controlled coverage, smooth application, and consistent pigment distribution.
Blighted Green can be diluted for layering, glazing, transitions, and controlled shadow work while retaining pigment dispersion.
Layering and Highlighting
Begin with Blighted Green as a dark base, then introduce progressively brighter green tones to define raised areas, edges, textures, and focal details.
Thin layers help maintain surface definition and allow each stage of the green progression to remain visible.
Glazing and Color Transitions
Dilute the paint gradually with water or a suitable acrylic medium when creating glazes or controlled transitions.
Several light applications provide more control than one heavy layer, especially when adjusting shadows or adding a green cast over another color.
How to Use
- Shake the bottle thoroughly for approximately 30 seconds.
- Dispense a small amount onto a palette.
- Check that the pigment is evenly mixed before applying it.
- Add water or a suitable acrylic medium gradually when thinning.
- Apply thin, controlled layers rather than one heavy coat.
- Allow each layer to dry before adding further shading or highlights.
- Shake the bottle again if pigment separation remains visible.
Color Notice: Screen settings, lighting, primer color, surrounding colors, and application thickness can affect how Blighted Green appears. Refer to the physical bottle or a painted sample when an exact color match is required.
Application Notice: Shake the bottle thoroughly before use. Add water or acrylic medium in small amounts to maintain control over the consistency and coverage.
Safety Notice: Follow all instructions and precautions printed on the product label. This paint is not suitable for children under 14 years of age.
