Acrylic Wash Paint Army Painter Warpaints Fanatic Wash Purple Tone 18 ml

Fanatic Wash Purple Tone from Army Painter is an acrylic, water-based wash paint formulated for tabletop miniatures and scale models. The 18 ml bottle contains a liquid acrylic pigment designed to flow into recesses and panel lines, enhancing shadows and defining fine details on plastic, resin and metal figures. Conforming to ASTM D-4236, this purple wash provides a controlled, translucent layer that improves contrast and brings sculpted details into clearer relief without obscuring base coats.

Advantages

The Fanatic Wash Purple Tone features low-surface-tension flow characteristics that naturally settle into crevices for quick shading and tone variation. Its acrylic formulation dries to a stable, non-tacky finish compatible with most miniature painting workflows and varnishes. The product is ready-to-use from the bottle, requires no thinning for standard wash techniques and is fully mixable with other washes in the Warpaints Fanatic range to achieve custom tones.

Suitable for

• Shading and recess definition on tabletop miniatures
• Weathering and tone layering on scale models
• Panel line accenting on plastic, resin and metal figures
• Creating subtle purple tints over base coats

How to use

Apply the Fanatic Wash Purple Tone with a standard detail brush, allowing the fluid to move into recesses and panel lines by capillary action. Work in thin coats and remove excess from raised surfaces with a clean brush or cotton swab while the wash is still wet if a subtler effect is required. Let the wash dry fully before applying subsequent layers, highlights or varnish. For best results, use over a fully cured base coat and ensure the miniature is free of dust and mold release agents.

Usage recommendations

For consistent results, test the wash on a spare part or hidden area before full application. Combine with other Fanatic Wash colours to create blended tones, and seal painted areas with an appropriate matte or satin varnish once fully dry. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures and close the cap tightly after each use to maintain product performance.
