You can’t paint like a pro with just hope and a brush... Here are five Warhammer painting supplies that’ll actually make your life easier.
"Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment”, but when it comes to painting Warhammer minis, the right tools can make sure that doesn’t apply to you. No matter if you’re a seasoned Warhammer painter or just getting started, we’ve rounded up a few essentials that’ll make your life easier and seriously level up your painting game.
These are five supplies that have helped us the most over the years: affordable, easy to use, and perfect for hobbyists of any skill level. Consider this a little gift from one painter to another.
KIRKAS LED Magnifying Lamp
Perfect for painting the tiniest details, with this lamp you'll see you mini in a 10x zoom with bright, adjustable LED lighting. You can switch between three color modes: cool, neutral, and warm and also dim the brightness to match your setup.
The lamp comes with both a heavy base for stable desk placement and a clamp that lets you attach it securely to almost any surface.

Airbrush Gun
Oh boy, I've always wanted an airbrush gun... Turns out they aren't even that expensive. For painting minis that need a lot of smooth shading, a tool like this is absolutely perfect. Of course you can also dry-brush your way through it... But lets be honest, an airbrush gun is much cooler.

Winsor & Newton Brush Cleaner & Restorer
How are your brushes looking? Are they losing hair? Are they becoming kinda stiff?
Well, that is most likely because you're not cleaning them properly. Sometimes, cleaning your brushes with just water is not enough, especially if the paint on them has already dried up.
This brush cleaner is gentle on both natural and synthetic bristles. But you wanna keep it away from painted or plastic surfaces...

Mounting Putty
Originally meant for hanging posters or securing small items, this sticky putty is a secret weapon for mini painters. You can use it to mask surfaces while painting or stick a bit under your mini for a better grip. I like to press some onto a chunk of cork, stick the mini on top, and boom! Instant, easy-to-hold setup. Plus, it’s non-toxic, reusable, and leaves no residue behind.

Mouldline Remover
Every Warhammer painter knows those tiny mould lines that ruin an otherwise perfect mini. A mouldline remover helps you scrape them off cleanly without damaging the details. It’s a small tool, but it makes a huge difference when prepping your minis for priming and painting.
