The Army Painter

The workhorse undercoat: matt black primer in the 400ml army-size can. Black-priming is the classic route for anything with built-in shadow - locomotive chassis, undercarriage, track sections, dark rolling stock, and any model where the recesses should stay dark. Prime here, then one-coat with the Speedpaint Starter Set; seal it all with Anti-Shine Matt Varnish. Features Primer and color basecoat in ONE pass - prime and base the model in a single can. Dries perfectly matt, ready for Speedpaints, washes, and acrylics on top. Bonds to plastic, resin, and metal models. 400ml army-size can - enough to prime a large fleet or army. Ideal for chassis, running gear, track, tires, and any dark base scheme. More Information Brand The Army Painter Item Number CP3001 Size 400 ml / 13.5 oz aerosol Finish Matt Condition New UPC/EAN 5713799300118 FAQ Do I still need a separate primer?No - that is the point: Colour Primer is undercoat and base color in one pass, saving a whole painting step. Speedpaint over this?Perfectly - a matt Colour Primer base is exactly what Speedpaints want. Shipping noteAerosol product - ships ground service only (no air or international shipping).

Where a pointer makes a dot, the Targetlock throws a full red line across the table — instant sight lanes, firing arcs, and dead-straight reference lines over and around terrain. No more "seeing around corners." Three LR44 batteries are in the box. Complete the gaming toolkit with the Markerlight Laser Pointer and Rangefinder Tape Measure. Features Projects a crisp red line — check alignment across a whole board at once. Pocket-sized and tournament-legal-bag friendly. 3x LR44 batteries included; simple pull-tab activation. Layout bonus: a free laser straightedge for aligning fences, roads, and track centerlines. More Information Brand The Army Painter Item Number TL5046P Batteries 3x LR44, included Condition New UPC/EAN 5713799504608 FAQ How is this different from the Markerlight?This one spreads the beam into a LINE (plane) rather than a dot — for lanes, arcs, and straightedge work. The Markerlight is the single-target dot. Can it help on a layout?Surprisingly well — it is a quick way to sight a straight road, fence line, or siding alignment across several feet of scenery.

One hundred rare-earth magnets in the two most useful hobby sizes: 80 at 3x1mm and 20 at 5x1mm, all high-grade N52 neodymium — the strongest common grade. Model railroaders use them everywhere: swappable open-car loads, removable structure roofs, hidden hatch and shell fasteners, magnetic uncoupling projects, and scenery pieces that lift off for cleaning. Drill the pockets with the Pin Vise Drill and bed them in Green Stuff for a permanent, invisible install. What's Included Item Qty 3 x 1 mm N52 neodymium magnets 80 5 x 1 mm N52 neodymium magnets 20 Features N52 grade — the strongest standard neodymium, so tiny magnets still hold firmly. 3mm size hides inside HO detail parts; 5mm anchors roofs, loads, and larger assemblies. Swap freight loads, keep structure roofs removable, and make display pieces detachable. Pair matching polarities carefully — mark the faces before gluing (see FAQ). 100 pieces means you can magnetize a whole fleet, not just one project. More Information Brand The Army Painter Item Number TL5038P Sizes 80x 3x1 mm + 20x 5x1 mm (N52) Condition New UPC/EAN 5713799503809 FAQ How do I keep polarity straight?Stack the magnets, mark the top face of the whole stack with a marker, and always glue marked-face-out. Mixed polarity is the #1 magnetizing mistake. What drill size do I need?A 3mm or 5mm bit matching the magnet — drill a shallow pocket, drop in a dab of CA glue or Green Stuff, and press the magnet flush. Will they affect DCC decoders or motors?At these sizes, no practical effect — just keep them away from open-frame motor magnets and magnetic uncoupler ramps you did not intend to trigger.

Paint an entire miniature — base, shade, and highlight — in a single coat. The Army Painter Speedpaint Starter Set 2.0 gives you ten of the reformulated one-coat acrylics that made Speedpaint famous, and the 2.0 formula stays put once dry, so you can layer or recoat without reactivating the paint underneath. It's a fast way to get figures, vehicles, and structures on your layout looking finished instead of bare plastic. Painting people and vehicles for your layout? Browse our Figures & Vehicles and Scenery collections. Restocking singles or reviving older bottles? Grab spare Army Painter Mixing Balls. Add Speedpaint Medium for glazes and softer shading, and a Wet Palette to keep it all workable for hours. What's Included Item Qty Speedpaint 2.0 colors, 18ml (9 colors + 1 metallic) 10 Hobby basecoating brush 1 Painting guide 1 Stainless mixing balls (pre-loaded in every bottle) 2 per bottle Features One-coat painting: base color, rich shading, and highlights in a single application over primer. Speedpaint 2.0 formula dries hard and won't reactivate — layer, recoat, or drybrush right over it. Water-based acrylic that flows into recesses and self-shades detailed castings. Every 18ml bottle ships with two rust-proof stainless steel mixing balls for fast, thorough shaking — spares available for the rest of your paint rack. Includes a free basecoating brush and painting guide — everything you need to start tonight. Scale-independent: perfect for model railroad figures, vehicles, and structures in any scale, plus tabletop miniatures. More Information Brand The Army Painter Item Number WP8059P Product Type Acrylic Hobby Paint Set Bottle Size 18ml each (10 bottles) Scale Any scale Condition New FAQ Do I need to prime first?Yes — Speedpaint works best over a light primer (white or light grey shows the colors brightest). One coat over primer gives you base, shade, and highlight at once. How is Speedpaint 2.0 different from the original?The 2.0 formula dries insoluble, so a second coat or layered acrylics won't reactivate and lift the paint underneath. It also shades more consistently on large flat surfaces. Is this good for model railroad use?Absolutely — it's one of the fastest ways to paint unpainted figure sets, vehicle loads, and structure details in any scale. The self-shading effect adds instant depth on small castings. Can I mix Speedpaint with regular acrylics?Speedpaints are best used as-is or thinned with Speedpaint Medium; over-thinning with water weakens the one-coat shading effect. You can paint standard acrylics over cured Speedpaint 2.0 freely.

Detail work is where a model earns its second look — the rivets on a hopper, the lettering on a reefer, the face on a platform figure. The Army Painter Precise Detail brush carries a fine, sharp point that holds its shape through a session, so you can pick out those details without the tip splaying halfway through. Synthetic bristles keep the cost sensible and clean up easily, making this a natural first detail brush for the workbench. Pairs with the rest of the Army Painter range — or browse our Figures & Vehicles collection for something to paint. Features Fine, sharp point small enough to reach anywhere on a model or figure. Synthetic bristles hold their shape and snap back to a point after cleaning. Ideal for rivets, edge highlighting, handrails, lettering and figure detail. Signature Army Painter red handle, balanced for long detail sessions. Works with acrylics, Speedpaints and washes across every scale. Part of the Hobby Brush series — an affordable step up from craft-store brushes. More Information Brand The Army Painter Item Number BR7001P Series Hobby Brush Bristles Synthetic (animal-free) Tip Fine, sharp point Best For Rivets, edge highlights, lettering, figure faces Condition New UPC/EAN 5713799700109 Frequently Asked Questions What scale is this brush for?Any of them. A detail brush is scale-agnostic — the same brush that picks out N scale grab irons will do figure faces in O gauge. How does this differ from the Super Detail brush?Precise Detail has a slightly larger belly that holds more paint, so it covers rivets and edge highlights well. Super Detail (BR7016P) is finer still, for dotting eyes and the smallest lines. How do I make it last?Only load paint on the tip, never up into the ferrule. Rinse in cold water immediately after use and store the brush tip-up. Does it work with Speedpaint?Yes — Speedpaints, standard acrylics and washes all work fine with synthetic bristles.

A lining brush, and a specialist one. Army Painter calls it the first of its kind made specifically for wargaming, and the name fits — it is very small and ultra precise, meant for perfect lining and minuscule detail. For model railroaders that means pinstriping, hand lettering, panel lines, and the kind of nano-precision work that a normal detail brush smears. Handmade from first-class Rothmarder sable with the famous triangular handle. Pairs with the rest of the Army Painter range — or browse our Figures & Vehicles collection for something to paint. Features Built for lining — long, fine and ultra precise rather than a general detail point. First-class Rothmarder sable, handmade. The elegant triangular handle gives control through a long, steady stroke. Ideal for pinstriping, hand lettering, panel lines and micro detail. Army Painter’s own description: for painters wanting nothing less than nano-precision. Works with acrylics, Speedpaints and washes in every scale. More Information Brand The Army Painter Item Number BR7014P Series Wargamer Brush Bristles Rothmarder sable (natural), first-class grade Tip Very small, ultra precise Best For Lining, pinstriping, lettering, nano-precision detail Condition New UPC/EAN 5713799701403 Frequently Asked Questions What is a lining brush for?Pulling a long, unbroken fine line — pinstripes on a passenger car, panel lines, hand lettering. Its shape holds enough paint to finish the stroke without reloading halfway. How is this different from the Insane Detail?Insane Detail (BR7004P) is a fine point for small spots. The Psycho is built for lines — same precision, different job. What is Rothmarder sable?Rothmarder is red marten, a natural sable hair prized for holding a fine point and carrying paint. Army Painter specifies first-class grade for this brush. How do I make it last?Load paint on the tip only, never into the ferrule. Rinse in cold water immediately after use and store tip-up with the cap on.

The finest brush in the sable Wargamer range, and the one you reach for when the detail is barely there. Army Painter pitched it at painting the iris of an eye on a 28mm figure — on a layout that translates to gauge faces, marker lights, builder’s plates, and the eyes on a crew figure leaning out of a cab. A 5.0mm Rotmarder sable tip, handmade in Germany, on the 8mm triangular grip. Pairs with the rest of the Army Painter range — or browse our Figures & Vehicles collection for something to paint. Features 5.0 mm tip — the finest in the sable Wargamer range. Natural Rotmarder sable holds a needle point and carries more paint than synthetic at this size. Handmade in Germany with an 8 mm triangular grip for control. Built for the smallest work: eyes, gauge faces, marker lights, builder’s plates. Protective cap included to keep the point safe between sessions. Works with acrylics, Speedpaints and washes in every scale.

Army Painter states these brushes are handmade in Germany. How do I make a sable brush last?Load paint on the tip only, never up into the ferrule. Rinse in cold water immediately after use and store it tip-up with the cap on. Dried paint in the heel is what kills a sable brush. What can I use it for on a layout?Crew figure eyes, gauge and dial faces, marker and classification lights, builder’s plates, and the finest lettering or pinstriping.

Drybrushing is the fastest weathering trick in model railroading — a nearly-dry brush dragged over raised detail catches the edges and leaves the recesses dark, which is exactly how real grime and wear behave. The Army Painter Hobby Drybrush is flat-topped and deliberately coarse for the job, so rivet lines pop, brick courses separate, rock castings gain depth and a hopper picks up rust in about a minute per side. Pairs with the rest of the Army Painter range — or browse our Figures & Vehicles collection for something to paint. Features Flat-topped, coarse bristles — purpose-built for the drybrushing technique. Catches raised detail: rivets, brick courses, rock castings, wood grain, tread plate. Round handle allows a flexible grip and the loose wrist drybrushing wants. Nylon bristles take the abuse of a scrubbing motion better than a soft detail brush. Signature Army Painter red handle matches the rest of the Hobby series. Works with acrylics and weathering powders in every scale. More Information Brand The Army Painter Item Number BR7015P Series Hobby Brush Bristles Nylon (synthetic) Tip Flat-topped, coarse Best For Weathering, rust and dust, raised detail, rock and brick texture Condition New UPC/EAN 5713799701502 Frequently Asked Questions What is drybrushing?You load a little paint, wipe almost all of it off onto a paper towel, then drag the near-dry brush across raised detail. Only the high points take paint, which instantly reads as wear, dust or highlight. Why not use a normal brush?Drybrushing is hard on bristles — it is a scrubbing motion that splays a soft detail brush and ruins its point. A dedicated coarse, flat-topped brush is built to survive it. What can I use it for on a layout?Rust and grime on rolling stock, dust on trucks and underframes, mortar lines on brick, depth in rock castings, and wood grain on decking. How do I clean it?Rinse in cold water right after use. Drybrushing dries paint into the bristles fast, so do not let it sit — and always store it tip-up.
