Warpaints Fanatic
Warpaints Fanatic is a high-quality acrylic paint for models and miniatures. The paint features an insanely dense pigment formulation set in a premium resin base with proprietary stabilizers to ensure smooth, effortless application. The Warpaints Fanatic paints can be thinned to extreme levels, while retaining pigment dispersion.
Flexible Colour Triad System
The Fanatic range offers more than 200 colours designed in a Flexible Colour Triad System. With the Flexible Colour Triad System, every paint fits into a segment, or family, of paint colours that are made using the same root colour. Each segment is called a Flexible Triad and inside this segment you’ll find six paints that range in tone from dark to light with a consistent hue. This makes it easy and simple to select the perfect paint.
Before use: Shake the bottles well
As paint tends to separate, we recommend you follow the two steps below to ensure your paints have the right consistency:
Step 1: Shake the bottle well (approx. 30 seconds).
Step 2: Squeeze out a tiny bit of paint to check the consistency - if it still separates, shake the bottle a few seconds more.
Repeat Step 1 and 2 until the paint is evenly mixed and you are ready to go.
Speedpaint
Before using Speedpaints, we recommend priming your miniatures with Colour Primer Matt White, Colour Primer Brainmatter Beige or Colour Primer Ash Grey to achieve your most vibrant results. However, you can also experiment with other Colour Primers like Necrotic Flesh, Skeleton Bone, or Gun Metal etc. to achieve other cool effects.
TIP: Use A Hard Palette
A hard palette is recommended for Speedpaint. If you use our Wet Palette, there’s a chance that the Speedpaint will bleed through the Hydro Sheet and stain your Hydro Foam.
Before use: Shake the bottles thoroughly
Load your brush and apply a generous layer, one coat should do it, allowing the paint to flow into the recesses
