One-Step Green Primer for Orcs, Goblins & Fantasy Armies
The Vallejo Goblin Green spray primer, Ref. 28.027, is a colored aerosol primer developed for fantasy miniatures, wargaming armies, and scale models that need strong green coverage from the start. It combines basecoat and highly pigmented color in one step, helping you establish a solid green foundation while preserving fine surface detail. Its matt, self-levelling finish makes it especially useful when you want a smooth base for later highlights, shading, and weathering.
Because the Vallejo Goblin Green spray primer is matched to equivalent shades in Vallejo’s Game Color and related spray/color charts, it works well in workflows that combine spray priming with later brush painting. The spray matches Vallejo Game Color Goblin Green (72.030) exactly — brush work continues straight from the can without color-matching guesswork. The can includes two nozzles, giving you more control depending on whether you are covering a unit quickly or working on smaller detail areas. For fantasy armies, monsters, terrain accents, and green-heavy schemes, Ref. 28.027 is a practical way to speed up the first painting stage without sacrificing consistency.

Application & Safety Instructions
- Preparation: Shake the can thoroughly for at least one minute after the mixing ball begins to rattle.
- Spraying Technique: Hold the can about 20–30 cm from the model and apply in short, even passes.
- Nozzle Maintenance: After use, turn the can upside down and spray briefly to clear the nozzle.
- Safety: Use only in a well-ventilated area or outdoors. Avoid breathing spray or mist and always follow the label instructions.
For a zenithal highlight technique, apply Goblin Green over black from above at a 45° angle — the raised surfaces catch the green while recesses stay dark, giving you a built-in shadow before you pick up a brush. Here's our complete zenithal priming guide for miniatures.
Pro Tips for Army Painters
- Orks, Orruks, and Grots: Goblin Green is the natural undercoat for Warhammer 40K Orks and Age of Sigmar Orruks Warclans. Spray the whole mob, let it dry, and your basecoat is already done. Night Goblin and Gloomspite Gitz players: this shade pairs directly with a brown or black wash and a Goblin Green highlight — three steps and your Grots look finished.
- Terrain and Basing: Don’t overlook this as a terrain primer. Jungle canopy, swamp ground cover, and mossy ruins all respond well to a green base coat before drybrushing. One can covers more square inches of terrain board than it looks.
- Light Coats Win: Hold the can 20–30 cm out and use two light passes rather than one heavy one. The self-levelling formula does the smoothing for you — fighting it with thick coverage works against you. Wait 60 seconds between coats.
- Follow Up with Brush: Because this matches Vallejo Game Color Goblin Green exactly, any touch-up or highlight work with a brush blends straight in. No mixing, no guessing.
