For many hobbyists, painting models is the best way to make them feel like the army really belongs to them. Painted miniatures and scenery also make for more cinematic and immersive games. For some, painting to a high standard is the end goal, worthy of many hours of practice.

"It provides the framework for me and my mates to explore the limits of our creativity" Billy Burrows, Warhammer Store Manager

Just as with assembly, you'll want to gather a set of equipment before you begin a painting session. Besides the paints themselves, you'll need clean water, a set of brushes, and handy accessories like painting handles and protective mats.

Citadel Water Pot

The unusual features of this water pot have been carefully designed. The wide base reduces tipping, interior textures help clean your brushes, there's a storage groove on top, and the tapered channels help shape the tip of your brush.

Citadel Paints

You'll need a set of paints that match your army's colour scheme. Citadel paints come in various formulas – some are designed to create a strong basecoat, some are semi-transparent to build smooth transitions, others still create realistic metal finishes.
