Acrylic Paint, Army Painter Warpaints Fanatic Alpha Blue, liquid, 1 pc

Army Painter Warpaints Fanatic Alpha Blue is a water-based acrylic paint formulated for miniature painting and hobby model work. This single 1 pc liquid paint provides intense blue pigmentation in a premium resin base that supports excellent coverage and smooth application on plastic, metal, and resin miniatures. Developed to work within the Flexible Colour Triad System, Alpha Blue aligns with complementary shades that allow consistent hue progression from dark to light for basecoating, layering, and detailing tasks.

Advantages

Fanatic Alpha Blue offers high pigment concentration and reliable opacity, reducing the number of coats required to achieve solid colour. The resin-based formula includes stabilizers that maintain pigment dispersion when thinned, enabling both heavy coverage and very thin glazes without loss of colour intensity. The paint is water-based for easy thinning and cleanup, and its consistency suits a range of techniques from rapid game-ready applications to more precise miniature detailing.

Suitable for

• Basecoating plastic, metal, or resin miniatures
• Layering and midtone work on figurines and models
• Detail painting on miniature faces, armor, and equipment
• Glazing and thin washes when diluted for subtle transitions

Key specifications

• Type: Water-based acrylic miniature paint
• Colour family: Blue (Alpha Blue)
• Finish: Matte to satin depending on thinning and topcoat
• Base: Premium resin with stabilizers for pigment dispersion
• Application: Brush, detail brush, or airbrush when thinned appropriately

How to use

Shake the bottle well before use to ensure uniform pigment distribution. Apply directly from the bottle for strong, opaque coverage or thin with water or a suitable acrylic medium to produce glazes and smooth blends. For basecoats, use multiple thin layers rather than a single thick coat to preserve surface detail. When airbrushing, strain and further thin the paint to manufacturer-recommended viscosity. Allow each layer to dry fully before applying subsequent layers or varnish.

Usage recommendations

Use Fanatic Alpha Blue as part of a triad with its corresponding darker and lighter shades to achieve consistent tonal transitions. Clean brushes with water after use and store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place. For best results on miniatures, seal painted surfaces with a compatible matte or satin varnish.
