Warpaints Fanatic – Acrylic Paints for Miniature Painting
Warpaints Fanatic are acrylic paints from The Army Painter designed for traditional brush painting of miniatures. They offer a wide range of colours for basecoating, shading, highlighting, colour transitions, and even the finest details on fantasy, sci-fi, historical, and other models.
The paints combine high pigmentation, excellent coverage, and smooth application. You can use them for standard opaque layers or thin them as needed for fine layering, glazing, and other advanced techniques. Thanks to the extensive range of complementary shades, you can easily build a palette from deep shadows all the way to the brightest highlights.
Fanatic paints can be used as the main colour for armour, clothing, skin, weapons, terrain, and other parts of your model. For a smooth finish, it is usually better to apply several thin coats rather than one overly thick layer.
For greater depth, combine several related shades. Use a darker tone for the shadows, a mid-tone as the main colour, and a lighter shade on raised areas and edges where more light would naturally fall.
Shades such as Agate Skin, Barbarian Flesh, Amber Skin, and other flesh tones allow you to create a variety of skin tones. By combining darker and lighter colours, you can easily enhance faces, muscles, and other details.
Brown, beige, green, and muted colours are ideal for leather, wood, fabrics, pouches, terrain, and military uniforms. Shades such as Army Green, Woodland Camo, or Barren Dune are also well suited to natural and military colour schemes.
Rich blues, reds, greens, purples, and turquoise shades are perfect for armour, uniforms, magical elements, and eye-catching parts of miniatures. The extensive colour range allows you to create both smooth transitions and highly contrasting colour schemes.
Fanatic paints do not have to be used only as opaque colours. With a small amount of water or a suitable medium, you can adjust the consistency for finer layers, transitions, and glazing. This allows you to build up colour intensity gradually.
For each main colour on your miniature, ideally choose several complementary shades – a darker shade for shadows, a mid-tone for the base colour, and a lighter shade for highlights. Shake the paint thoroughly before use and work with several thin coats rather than one thick layer. Allow the base layer to dry before moving on to the next step, then gradually concentrate the lighter shades on raised areas and edges. You do not need to buy dozens of colours at once – to get started, a few shades for your miniature's main colour scheme are enough, and you can gradually expand your palette over time.
