Unique colour spray paint – these model building colours are perfect for any type of work, fits perfectly with its acrylic version with the same name. Use it to paint your miniature models such as Warhammer 40k, Dungeons and Dragons or Star Wars Legion.
Primer spray - Our primers are based on acrylic paints for Warhammer 40k figures, marked with the Nordic Swan Ecolabel, the official eco-label for Scandinavian products, with which we reduce the risk of environmental impact. They also dry very quickly.
From a game – Army Painter was created from a creation by Bo Penstoft and Jonas Færing, two veterans of Wargaming and miniature painting. Their initial goal was to create paints and accessories that help them become an experienced miniature painter. The goal of The Army Painter is to help you create fantastic patterns on your work table and save the time you can spend with us.
Acrylic spray – all colour primers from The Army Painter are an ingenious combination of colour and primer, so you do not have to do two coats, saving you time and money.
Acrylic primer – Our primers are made of heavy pigments, which allows perfect application and coverage of the surface. The formula of the primers allows it to be used on all metals, plastics or resins and colours all surfaces.
