AMMO figure paints

Painting figures is one of the most rewarding aspects of miniature work, and having the right figure paints makes a world of difference. This collection brings together the full AMMO by Mig Jiménez acrylic range formulated specifically for figures, ensuring smooth application, high pigmentation, and excellent control for artists working on historical miniatures, wargaming models, display pieces, and diorama characters. Whether you prefer subtle transitions or bold, vivid tones, these paints allow you to achieve impressive results with confidence and consistency.

What’s in this collection

AMMO’s dedicated line of figure paints is designed to offer coverage, flow, and durability that suit the needs of miniature artists. Every bottle provides a balanced consistency that works beautifully whether you apply it by brush or thin it for airbrush use. Within this selection, you’ll find tones for every part of a figure, from uniforms and equipment to skin and environmental details. Among the most helpful options, artists often look for:

• Skin tones ranging from light to dark variations, offering flexibility for portrait-style work and character-focused miniatures.
These tones allow gradual layering and create realistic depth in the face and hands.
• Uniform shades inspired by real-world reference colors that help achieve historically correct figures across multiple eras.
Painters appreciate the accuracy and matte finish that keeps the final result believable.
• Bright and intense accent colors ideal for fantasy models or stylized characters.
These paints maintain saturation even when heavily thinned.
• Earth tones for boots, belts, weathering marks, and worn fabrics.
Their neutral balance makes them versatile additions to any palette.
• Cool blues, greens, and greys that are perfect for highlights, shadows, and ambient lighting effects.
Their smooth behavior supports advanced techniques such as glazing and controlled shading.

Every shade is packaged in AMMO’s familiar dropper bottle, helping artists dose exactly the amount they need while preventing waste or accidental spills.

Benefits, uses, and practical tips

Working with figure paints from AMMO gives you access to a color system that responds intuitively to miniature-focused techniques. Many hobbyists enjoy the way these paints glide over the surface without leaving brush marks, allowing smoother transitions even when blending by hand. The acrylic base dries to a durable matte finish that accepts washes, filters, oils, pigments, and varnishes without reactivating.

For best results, consider these simple but effective recommendations:

• Shake each bottle thoroughly to awaken the pigment and ensure an even mix before applying.
This prevents streaking and preserves color accuracy.
• Use a wet palette to extend the working time and maintain ideal consistency during longer sessions.
This tool helps greatly when layering skin tones or fine details.
• Thin the paint slightly when going for transparent glazes or subtle shadows.
AMMO’s formula holds pigment well even when diluted.
• Build volume gradually, especially in faces and cloth folds, where small changes make a big difference.
This approach results in depth and realism.
• Mix neighboring tones on your palette to create intermediate highlights or shadows.
The line is cohesive, making color transitions easier to control.

Because this collection contains so many specialized shades, it adapts easily to artists working across genres: historical reenactment figures, anime-style characters, fantasy heroes, military crew, and more. Whatever the subject, these figure paints offer the versatility required to push your skills further while keeping the workflow enjoyable.
