Acrylic paint Army Painter Charred Bone 18 ml — brown, water-based miniature paint

Army Painter Charred Bone acrylic paint in an 18 ml bottle is a water-based miniature paint formulated for hobbyists and model painters. This brown shade is part of the Warpaints Air range and is pre-mixed to an airbrush-ready consistency, containing ultra-filtered pigment designed for shading, layering and basecoating on small-scale figures. The product is non-toxic but is not suitable for children under 36 months. Each bottle of Warpaints Air arrives with two steel mixing balls to assist even pigment distribution.

Advantages

The paint is airbrush-ready straight from the bottle, eliminating the need for additional thinning for airbrush applications. Its liquid consistency supports smooth coverage for basecoats and fine shading, while compatibility with brush application allows for layered highlights and detail work. The Warpaints Air formulation uses ultra-filtered pigment for consistent colour and performance, and the included mixing balls help maintain an even mix during use.

Suitable for

• Airbrushing wargaming miniatures and models
• Brush-based layering and shading on small-scale figures
• Basecoating and zenithal shading as part of a Colour Triad workflow
• Hobby projects requiring a brown, water-based acrylic paint

How to use
