It not only makes your models look even better, it can be very rewarding as you learn new techniques and improve your skills. Some people paint purely for enjoyment, others to make sure their battlefields look as amazing as possible. Whichever you prefer, this introduction to painting Bolt Action miniatures will help you get started. Whilst this set doesn’t include any paint, we’ve added this section to help you on your way.  \nBefore you begin  \nPAINT  \nWe recommend using water-based acrylic paint for painting your Bolt Action miniatures. These are generally the easiest to work with and easy to clean up. There is a huge variety of manufacturers and colours to choose from.  \nBRUSHES  \nThere are a wide selection of brushes available. Depending on what you are painting and what stage you are at will dictate the best brush for the job. Painting base coats? Choose a medium brush. Painting a tank? Choose a big brush. Painting eyes? Choose a small brush.  \nOur website has a fantastic range to choose from – go to warlordgames.com and have a look for yourself.  \nWATER  \nEssential for cleaning your brushes, having a water pot nearby is highly recommended. Paint water gets dirty often so should be changed regularly so as not to contaminate the other colours you are painting on your miniature.  \nPALETTE  \nPalettes are perfect for thinning your paints on and mixing colours. It is rare to find a painting set up without one. From old tiles and plates to wet palettes, there is a solution for everyone.  \nA great hobby set up – just add miniatures!  \n1 – painting guides  \nPainting the Model  \nBASIC TECHNIQUES  \nUndercoats  \nPainting directly onto a miniature is possible, but it is highly recommended that you use an undercoat of paint as a primer before you start. Typically these are spray cans although you can paint them with a brush or airbrush.  \nUndercoats are available in a wide variety of colours and choosing the right one can help you on your painting journey. Black and white are the most common – white is normally recommended for when you are painting brighter colours and black for when you are painting darker or neutral colours. If the majority of your army is a specific colour, you can choose an undercoat that matches as it can make the whole process quicker.  \nBasecoats  \nAfter undercoating, the first stage is to paint the base colours on your miniature. These will form the base for all other stages. Apply all of the base colours to the right areas of your miniature in thin, even coats of paint. If needed, apply additional coats if the first looks patchy.  \nWash  \nA wash is a specific type of paint that is a lot thinner than normal paint – it doesn’t typically need thinning – and is used to create deeper shadows where light wouldn’t reach. They can be painted into the recesses or applied over the entire area depending on the effect you want.  \nADVANCED TECHNIQUES  \nAfter undercoating and applying base coats and washes to your model, it’ll be ready for battle. However, if you want to make it really stand out on the tabletop, there are some additional steps you can take…  \n1st Highlight  \nUsing a lighter shade, or the base coat with white mixed in, paint the first stage of highlights. This represents the areas where light is hitting your miniature and starts to make your miniatures appear more three-dimensional.  \n2nd Highlight  \nSelectively adding even lighter shades to the parts of the model where light would hit it the most enhances the effect of the first highlight.  \nMake it Pop!  \nAdding in details can really make your miniature standout. Painting in small details such asbuttons and buckles can make a big difference to the miniature. Additional highlights can also be added at this stage.  \nBasing  \nThe base of the model brings it to life and provides context for the miniature. What you put on your base depends on the theatre of war in which you want to set your min","cbCaivQjJe22v1xQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivQjJe22v1xQ","pdf",3199090,8,"English","# Before you begin\n## Paint\n## Brushes\n## Water\n## Palette\n# Painting the Model\n## Basic techniques\n### Undercoats\n### Basecoats\n### Wash\n## Advanced techniques\n### 1st highlight\n### 2nd highlight\n### Make it Pop\n### Basing\n# How to Paint German Grenadiers\n## Basic + Advanced\n## Paints by step\n### Basecoat\n### Wash\n### 1st highlight\n### 2nd highlight\n### Make it Pop\n## Camo notes","[{\"question\":\"Which paint type is recommended for Bolt Action miniatures?\",\"answer\":\"Water-based acrylic paint is recommended as the easiest to work with and simple to clean up.\"},{\"question\":\"How should you apply undercoats when starting a miniature?\",\"answer\":\"Use an undercoat as a primer, commonly black or white depending on whether you plan to paint brighter or darker/neutrals.\"},{\"question\":\"What techniques are used to add depth and highlights?\",\"answer\":\"Apply a wash to create deeper shadows, then add a 1st highlight with a lighter shade (often mixing base with white) and a 2nd highlight with even lighter tones on the strongest light-hit areas.\"}]","Painting Guides - How to Paint German Grenadiers | PDF"]
