Acrylic Paint Army Painter Warpaints Fanatic — Paratrooper Tan (single bottle, brown)

Acrylic Paint Army Painter Warpaints Fanatic — Paratrooper Tan (single bottle, brown) is a water-based acrylic model paint formulated for miniatures, models and tabletop figures. This single bottle contains a richly pigmented Paratrooper Tan brown in a premium resin base with stabilizers that maintain pigment dispersion even when thinned. The Warpaints Fanatic line uses a Flexible Colour Triad System, providing compatible shades that allow consistent transitions from dark to light within the same hue for layering, shading and basecoating applications.

Advantages

Warpaints Fanatic offers high coverage and intense pigmentation in a paint designed for both brush and airbrush use when appropriately thinned. The stable resin base and proprietary stabilizers permit significant thinning without loss of colour uniformity, enabling smooth layering and glazing. The formula is water-based, quick to clean, and suitable for hobbyists at different skill levels — from beginners to experienced painters — seeking dependable colour consistency and straightforward handling.

Suitable for

• Basecoating and layering on plastic, metal and resin miniatures
• Painting military and historical models in brown and tan schemes

Key specifications

• Pigmentation: High pigmentation for strong coverage

How to use

Shake the bottle well before use to ensure even pigment suspension. For brush application, use as-is for basecoats or thin slightly with water or a suitable acrylic thinner for glazing and smooth layers. For airbrush use, thin progressively until you reach the desired viscosity and strain the paint to remove any lumps. Apply multiple thin coats rather than one thick coat to retain detail on miniatures, allowing adequate drying time between layers. Clean brushes and airbrush equipment with water immediately after use.

Usage recommendations

Test thinning ratios on a palette before applying to finished models. Combine Paratrooper Tan with adjacent shades from the same Flexible Colour Triad to create natural highlights and shadows. Store bottles upright in a cool, dry place and reseal caps tightly to preserve consistency and prevent skinning.
