Tabletop paints – Discover the right paints for your miniatures
With high-quality Tabletop paints, you can customize your miniatures and give them a distinctive character with different colors, shades, and highlights. Whether Warhammer 40.000, Age of Sigmar, fantasy figures, or other miniature games, the right paint is essential for a great painting result. In our collection, you'll find various acrylic paints from Citadel and Vallejo, developed specifically for painting miniatures and model-making projects. These include classic Base and Layer paints, as well as metallic colors and primers. While base colors create an even foundation, additional layers and targeted accents enable detailed designs. Beginners in particular may want to start by putting together a manageable selection of versatile colors. You can find more suitable products in our Vallejo paints category.
Citadel Base paints – The foundation for your Tabletop miniatures
An even base coat is an important part of painting miniatures. Games Workshop's Citadel Base paints are designed to provide a well-covering foundation for further painting steps. The Citadel Base Incubi Darkness 12 ml is particularly interesting, with its dark blue-green tone. It is suitable, for example, for armor, fabric elements, and technical details with a cool color scheme. After applying the base color, you can use additional layers to highlight raised areas and distinguish different materials from one another. For Warhammer miniatures in particular, a consistent base color helps create a cohesive color scheme for the entire army. For a clean result, it is recommended to thin the paint slightly if needed and apply several thin coats.
Vallejo Game Color – Acrylic paints for fantasy and sci-fi miniatures
The Vallejo Game Color range offers a wide variety of shades for painting fantasy figures, Tabletop armies, and model-building projects. The 18 ml dropper bottles are especially practical, letting you dispense the amount of paint you need with precision. The Vallejo Game Color Dark Fleshtone 18 ml is ideal, for example, for darker skin tones, warm shading, and various details on character models. Combining it with lighter shades lets you add depth to faces, hands, and other areas of skin. Vallejo acrylic paints can be combined with other colors in the range and are suitable for a variety of painting techniques. The extensive color palette offers many options, especially for Players who want to customize their miniatures. You can also use recurring colors across larger armies to create a consistent look.
Tabletop Paint Set – Which colors do Beginners need?
If you want to put together a Tabletop Paint Set, you should first think about which miniatures you want to paint. Basic colors such as black, white, red, blue, green, and various shades of brown or skin tones work well for many fantasy and science fiction models. Metallic colors are also useful for weapons, armor, and mechanical details. A wash can help bring out recesses, while lighter layer colors can be used for targeted highlights. A suitable primer is also important to ensure the paint adheres reliably to the model. Not every figure needs the same color palette. A small selection is often enough to get started, and you can expand it later as needed. If you want to discover suitable miniatures and other hobby products, you’ll find more options in our Tabletop and Board games category.
Vallejo metallic paints – Paint armor, weapons, and details
With Tabletop metallic paints, you can bring weapons, armor, and other metallic surfaces to life. Vallejo Game Color Metallic Bright Bronze 18 ml offers a bright bronze tone with a warm, slightly golden shimmer. This makes it suitable for decorative armor elements, antique metal surfaces, and mechanical details. Bronze is particularly effective for highlighting various jewelry elements and decorations on fantasy miniatures. Interesting contrasts can also be created by combining it with darker brown and metallic tones. For a convincing result, paint recessed areas darker first, then accentuate raised areas with a lighter metallic tone. Alongside bronze, silver, gold, copper, and other metallic colors are classic shades for Tabletop projects.
Citadel Layer paints – Highlight and emphasize details
After applying a base color, you can further refine your miniatures with Citadel Layer paints. These paints are particularly suitable for brightening individual areas, emphasizing edges, and distinguishing different materials. Citadel Layer Hashut Copper 12 ml offers a warm metallic copper tone that can be used, for example, on armor details, decorations, and technical components. It’s especially useful for adding targeted accents to darker metal surfaces. The layering technique lets you build up several thin coats, creating softer transitions between different brightness levels. For Beginners, it’s helpful to start by highlighting individual edges and easily accessible details. With more experience, you can try more complex techniques such as blending or multi-stage highlights.
Painting Tabletop Miniatures – Primer, Basecoat, and Highlights
When painting Tabletop miniatures, it's best to follow a structured process. First, assemble the models, remove any mold lines, and prepare them with a suitable primer. Next comes the so-called basecoat, where the main surfaces are given their base colors. You can then use washes to emphasize darker areas and recesses. Finally, use layer paints or drybrushing to highlight raised details and edges. These techniques help beginners achieve great results without needing extensive painting experience. The paints and tools you need depend on the model and the desired color scheme. When painting Warhammer armies in particular, it can be useful to paint several miniatures in a row using the same base colors. You can find other game systems and miniatures in our Board games and related Tabletop categories.
Buy Tabletop paints – Which acrylic paints are right for your project?
If you want to buy Tabletop paints, you should focus above all on your desired color palette, intended use, and painting technique. Citadel Base paints provide a good foundation for opaque color layers, while Citadel Layer paints are specially designed for additional details and highlights. Vallejo Game Color is suitable for a wide range of fantasy and science fiction miniatures and offers a large selection of classic and metallic shades. If you're just starting out, it's a good idea to first choose the key base colors along with a few suitable shading and highlight colors. A large Tabletop paint set isn't essential if you only want to paint a few figures to begin with. You can expand your collection later with additional metallic paints, washes, and suitable brushes.
