Whether you play Warhammer, role-playing games, or just enjoy painting miniature models, Army Painter has everything you need; from the moment you take your new miniature out of the box until you set down your finished masterpiece.

Tools:
Many games use miniatures that need to be assembled. Here, Army Painter can provide pliers that allow you to precisely cut the small parts free from the plastic frame. Afterwards, you can use a set of files or a hobby knife to remove any marks or mold lines, so your miniature is neat and ready to be assembled. We recommend using plastic glue when assembling plastic miniatures, as this type of glue slightly dissolves the plastic, making the two parts you are gluing melt together. Plastic glue does not work for metal miniatures, and therefore we recommend super glue for these. Army Painter also has various tools for when you play miniature games, such as measuring tapes and laser pointers, to ensure your miniatures can see their target.

Painting:
Many also find great joy in painting their miniatures. Not only does it look super cool to see a painted army, but it also serves the practical purpose of making it much easier to distinguish what is what, especially if two players choose to use the same miniatures.

And then there are those who do not play with their miniatures, but just love to paint. Army Painter offers various starter sets, where you get a range of paint pots that quickly let you get started with miniature painting. It's a good idea to prime your miniatures before painting them. With a spray paint from Army Painter, you can easily and quickly prime your miniatures. This helps the paint adhere better to the miniature, and makes the colors appear in a specific way, depending on which base color you choose. For example, white makes the colors appear very clear, while a black base color gives a more subdued expression.

Bases:
Once you have painted your miniatures, you must also ensure that the base looks good. Army Painter has a wide range of different materials you can use to decorate your miniatures' bases. There are different sizes of sand and gravel that can be glued to the base with white glue. Army Painter can also provide a very varied selection of model grass, either in loose form, if you need to cover a larger area; or gathered in small tufts that can be directly lifted onto the base. The grass is available in many color variants, so whether you want to create a base that looks like a lush forest, a gloomy swamp, or a scorching desert, Army Painter has what you need. You can, for example, start by gluing sand to the base and then glue a few grass tufts on. In this way, you can easily and quickly create a base that really looks interesting and lively.
