What’s in this collection

• Starter & core palettes for new hobbyists who want dependable coverage and a balanced range of primaries, neutrals, and metallics.
• Theme and game-ready sets with focused hues for fantasy, sci-fi, WWII, and historical subjects—great for army projects and narrative campaigns.
• Pro expansions that add advanced tones (tints, shades, and desaturated mixers) for smooth transitions, glazing, and high-contrast styles.
• Artist signature kits developed with creators like Ángel Giráldez for fast recipes and on-model examples.
• Specialty collections including metallics, inks, washes, and skin tones to solve specific tasks at the bench.

You’ll also find bundles that include guides or tools so color choices are simple and repeatable from project to project.

Brand highlights

• Vallejo Game Color & Model Color: broad selection of thematic kits (orcs & goblins, dragons, skin tones, metallic panels) with reliable dropper bottles and consistent matte finish.
• The Army Painter: Warpaints sets and D&D boxes with quick army workflows—speedpaints, washes, and organized cases for campaign play.
• Monument Hobbies Pro Acryl: rich pigments, excellent opacity, and painter-friendly triads; Signature Series sets curated by pro artists for fast highlight/shadow paths.
• AMMO by MIG & other specialists: weathering-focused combos for armor and vehicles, plus utility packs for metals, rust, and environmental effects.

Across brands, these miniature paint sets aim for high coverage, predictable thinning, and a satin-to-matte finish that photographs well and accepts weathering.

Tips to choose your perfect set

• New to painting? Start with a core starter that covers primaries, skin, leather, bone, steel, and gold; add a small wash set for instant depth.
• Building an army? Pick a faction or environment theme (e.g., desert, jungle, winter) so bases and armor read consistently across units.
• Going pro? Choose expansions with tints/shades and transparent colors for glazing, then add inks or metallic systems for punchy accents.
• Match your medium: All sets work with standard acrylic workflows; thin with water or brand reducers for airbrush or layering versatility.

Practical workflow ideas

• Block in base colors from your set, shade with the included washes or darker triad, then return to the light triad for edge highlights.
• Keep a wet palette to extend open time and achieve smoother blends with Pro Acryl and Game Color.
• Note recipes on the box insert or a card—consistent squads and repeatable commissions become much easier.

Curated by modelers for modelers, these miniature paint sets give you the speed of premade palettes and the depth to push your technique further.
