Acrylic paint Army Painter Warpaints Fanatic — Diabolic Plum (purple), 1 pc

Army Painter Warpaints Fanatic — Diabolic Plum is an acrylic model paint formulated for miniature, model and hobby painting. This single 18 ml pack offers a rich purple tone with intense pigmentation and a liquid acrylic base that provides consistent coverage on primed surfaces. The Fanatic range is designed to be versatile: it can be used for basecoating, layering and glazing while retaining colour strength even when thinned.

Advantages

The paint delivers high opacity and strong colour saturation thanks to concentrated pigments in a premium resin base. Proprietary stabilizers maintain pigment dispersion, allowing the paint to be thinned to very low viscosities without loss of colour integrity. As part of a Flexible Colour Triad System, Diabolic Plum pairs predictably with related darker and lighter shades for smooth tonal transitions. The formula is suitable for both quick tabletop work and more detailed hobby painting.

• Basecoating primed miniatures and models

How to use

Shake the bottle well before use to ensure uniform pigment dispersion. Apply directly with a brush for basecoats or thin with an appropriate acrylic thinner or water for layering and glazing. For airbrushing, thin to the manufacturer’s recommended consistency and strain the paint to remove any particles. Allow each layer to dry before applying subsequent layers to avoid lifting or streaking. Clean brushes and equipment with warm water and a mild detergent after use.

Usage recommendations

For smooth transitions and effective blending, use Diabolic Plum together with its Flexible Colour Triad counterparts—select a darker shade for shadows and a lighter tone for highlights. Test thinning ratios on a spare plastic sprue or palette to achieve the desired flow for brushing or airbrushing. Store upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve consistency.
