PlasticWargaming Brno
You can order paints online or pick them up in person in Brno. We will be happy to advise you on choosing shades, primers, washes and the basic painting process.
Popular products and paint uses
To begin with, it is worth choosing a quality primer, several base paints, one universal wash and paints for edge highlighting. More advanced painters can add Contrast paints, airbrush paints, technical effects, pigments and weathering.
Primer and sprays
A primer spray unifies the model surface and helps paint adhere better. Black primer is forgiving, while a light undercoat makes bright and Contrast paints stand out.
Shade and wash
Shading paints quickly bring out details, recesses, faces, armour, fabric, metal and organic parts of a model. They are ideal for beginners and army painting.
Base, Layer and Contrast
Base paints create the main colour, Layer paints are used for highlights and Contrast paints allow fast painting over a light undercoat.
Weathering and effects
AMMO effects, pigments, filters and washes help create rust, dust, oil, mud, dirt and realistic wear.
Miniatures and armies
Choose paints according to the army, faction and style. Clean Space Marines armour is painted differently from dirty Chaos or a fantasy monster.
Details and heroes
For heroes, large models and collector miniatures, it is worth using more shades of one colour, subtle layering, highlights and quality brushes.
Which type of paint should you choose?
Each type of paint has a different role in painting. If you are starting out, the most important things are primer, base paints, a wash and several lighter shades for highlighting. More advanced painters can add Contrast paints, technical effects, pigments, airbrush paints and weathering products.
| Paint type | What it is used for | Who it is suitable for |
|---|---|---|
| Base | Basic covering paint for the first colour layer. | Beginners, players, army painting. |
| Layer | Layering, lightening and edge highlighting. | Painters who want a cleaner and more striking result. |
| Shade / Wash | Shading recesses and quickly bringing out details. | Anyone who wants to quickly add depth to a miniature. |
| Contrast | Fast colouring over a light undercoat – colour, tone and shade in one step. | Fast army painting and beginners. |
| Technical | Blood, rust, snow, cracked earth, slime, mud and special effects. | Model makers who want a stronger atmosphere. |
| Air | Paints for airbrush, smooth layers and seamless transitions. | More advanced painters, vehicles, large models. |
Why combine Citadel and AMMO?
Citadel is an excellent system for fast and clear painting of Warhammer miniatures. AMMO by MIG, on the other hand, adds modelling depth, realism and effects that take a miniature further. Combining both brands is ideal for a modern grimdark look, realistic vehicles, dirty armour, terrain and dioramas.
