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 for tablet figures – 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.
