If your local gaming store doesn’t stock The Army Painter products, you can find them online at our partner shops Wayland Games, Element Games, Firestorm Games, and Taschengelddieb. There are also several “branded” paint set for games like Zombicide, Dungeons & Dragons and others, we’ll have a look at these sets in a future post, too. There is a complete paint set with all 124 paints, a starter set with 10 paints, a mega paint set with 50 paints, a set with all 11 Quickshade inks, and more. ![]() ![]() The Army Painter offers several paint sets with further savings built-in. Other popular brands like Vallejo paints are 2.75 €/£2.45 for 18 ml (0.153 €/£0.136 per ml), while Formula P3 paints from Privateer Press are priced at 3.30 €/£3.25 for 18 ml (0,183 €/£0.18 per ml). Please note: The figures refer to the time of publication of this review. That means Warpaints cost less than half of Citadel paints per ml! Not counting some of Citadel’s recent metallic paints, which are even more expensive… For comparison, Citadel paints are 3.60 €/£2.75 per paint after their recent price hike and only comprise 12 ml (so 0.30 €/£0.229 per ml), or 6.30 €/£4.75 for 24 ml with their shade paints (0.263 €/£0.198 per ml). Warpaints come in dropper bottles like Vallejo paints, comprising 18 ml of paint each. Update: In 20, the range was expanded with two more paint sets, the Skin Tones and Metallic Colours paint set, which both added more colours, as well as a matching airbrush-ready Warpaints Air range. There are 96 regular acrylic paints, 9 effect/technical paints, 8 metallic paints, and 11 washes. Since then, the Warpaints range received several extensions and is now a fully-fledged paint range consisting of 124 paints. The Army Painter’s Warpaints range started in 2012 with a compact set of 36 paints to complement The Army Painter’s Color Primers. Please note: This review was updated and expanded in 2023. In part 1 we start with the 96 regular acrylic paints, while in part 2, we look at the rest – metallic paints, Quickshade inks and effect paints. TLDR: Don't buy Vallejo if you want Asurmen Blue.These items were kindly provided by The Army Painter. I definitely think Vallejo washes have their place, it's just not what most people consider a "wash." I think if they called them translucent paints, instead, more people would consider adding them as supplemental, 'special use' paints instead of slinging bile (or at least mild distaste - really depends on who is posting ) because they don't match their sense of what a wash should be. It's also more flexible, as you can always thin a paint/wash, but thickening it up is a trick (you're stuck adding more and more layers to get the same effect). In terms of economy, though, having a 'wash concentrate' gives you more mileage per mL. Use as a wash akin to GW/ AP's invariably necessitates thinning, which many people don't want to bother with. ![]() I only ever apply one neat if I want a very heavy tint across an entire surface. Vallejo washes are much thicker than others, in terms of both body and pigment density. That's not inherently bad, but I believe that's the root of most people's issues with them. AP washes (Quickshade Inks) behave almost identically to the old GW washes.
