Product Information

Full details

The Warhammer Colour Base Paint in Grey Seer is an essential tool for hobbyists looking to achieve a professional-grade foundation on their miniatures. Designed for both beginners and experienced painters, this high-pigment acrylic paint ensures a consistent, smooth matte finish in a single application. While it excels at providing an opaque layer, users should remember that it is specifically formulated as a base coat and will require layering or shading to add depth and detail to the final model.

FAQs

Do I need to prime my miniature before using Grey Seer?

Yes, for the best adhesion and longevity, it is recommended to apply a primer to your plastic, metal, or resin miniatures before using base paints.

Can I use this paint for airbrushing?

While designed for brush application, it can be airbrushed if thinned appropriately with a suitable acrylic thinner.

Is this paint toxic?

No, it is a non-toxic, water-based acrylic paint.

How long does it take to dry?

Depending on the thickness of the layer, it typically dries to the touch within 10 to 20 minutes.

Can I mix this with other colors?

Yes, being an acrylic paint, it can be mixed with other colors in the Warhammer range to create custom shades.

Troubleshooting

The paint appears clumpy on the miniature

Your brush may have been too dry or the paint was too thick; thin the paint slightly with a drop of water on a palette before application.

The paint has dried out inside the pot

Add a tiny drop of acrylic thinner or distilled water and stir thoroughly; do not use tap water as it may contain impurities.

Paint is streaking during application

Ensure the previous layer is completely dry before applying another, and use a lighter touch with a slightly larger brush.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent opacity with a single coat
  • Versatile application across different model materials
  • Easy to thin with water for custom consistencies
  • Non-toxic and safe for home use
  • Reliable consistency standard across the Warhammer range

Cons

  • Requires proper lid closure to prevent drying
  • Limited to a matte finish
  • Small pot size may not suffice for very large armies

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin, ensure your miniature is primed and free of dust or oils. Use a damp brush to help the paint flow smoothly. After each use, wipe any excess paint from the rim of the pot and ensure the lid snaps shut tightly to maintain the acrylic integrity. Store pots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The paint is fully compatible with other paints in the Warhammer Colour range, meaning it can be mixed or layered according to your painting scheme. Clean brushes immediately after use with clean water or a dedicated brush soap.
