Acrylic paint set Army Painter AW8001P — 13 × 18 ml (black, blue, brown, green, grey, metallic, purple, red, white, yellow)

The Warpaints Air Starter Set provides a carefully selected palette of airbrush-ready acrylic colours to begin painting wargaming miniatures and models straight out of the box. The set contains 13 pots of 18 ml each in common modelling tones including black, blue, brown, green, grey, metallic, purple, red, white and yellow. Formulated with highly filtered vibrant pigments and a stable resin base, these water-based, non-toxic acrylics deliver high coverage and consistent flow for both airbrushing and brush work. Each bottle is supplied with two steel mixing balls to aid even dispersion.

Advantages

The paints offer high pigment concentration and ultra-filtered colourants for crisp, even coverage. A stable resin solution ensures reliable consistency and compatibility with airbrush systems. Water-based and non-toxic formulation supports safe studio use and easy thinning for airbrushing, while the included mixing balls improve pigment suspension and reduce settling.

• Basecoating and priming small miniatures

How to use

Shake each pot before use to mix pigments; the included steel mixing balls will help distribute settled pigment. Thin paints as needed for airbrushing with a compatible acrylic thinner or water, following your airbrush manufacturer’s recommendations for dilution ratio. Apply thin, even passes for basecoats and build up layers gradually. For brush work, use undiluted or lightly thinned paint depending on desired opacity and detail.

Usage recommendations

For airbrushing, start with a 1:1 to 3:1 paint-to-thinner ratio and adjust based on nozzle size and spray pattern. Test on a scrap surface before working on miniatures. Store pots upright in a cool, dry place and reseal after use to maintain consistency.
