Warhammer 40,000 Paint Set
Warhammer 40,000 Paint Set by Games Workshop
To help you get painting and collecting in the Games Workshop Hobby, we've put together the Warhammer 40,000 Starter Paint Set. Inside you'll find a paint brush ideal for your first brushstrokes as well as nine (9) Citadel Colour paints: Blood Red, Skull White, Chaos Black, Snakebite Leather, Bad Moon Yellow, Dark Angels Green, Ultramarines Blue, Bronzed Flesh, and Boltgun Metal. You'll also find a painting guide with hints and tips on how to paint, five (5) models for you to practice on, and an overview of some of the types of armies you can find in the 41st Millennium.
Citadel Colour Paints are non-toxic, water-based acrylics, specifically formulated for use with Games Workshop's Citadel Miniatures. Some assembly is required for the models. Collecting Warhammer 40,000 armies and sending them off into combat is--obviously--a lot of fun, but the hobby can be even more satisfying in the quiet moments between the battles, when you painstakingly assemble, paint, and detail your beloved little troops. Painting can be intimidating for a newbie, but this kit and guide offer a great primer, even for the artistically challenged--an excellent booklet walks you through the process step by step, with color photos and countless tips on everything from removing flash to applying undercoat (even reminding you that it's okay to make mistakes). Even better, this set includes a full set of nine Citadel paints, two Citadel brushes (a standard and a starter), and a plastic tray--everything you need to start painting. You even get some brave guinea pigs: five plastic Space Marines ready for the worst you can dish out.
