Getting started with painting Citadel Warhammer Miniatures can be a fun and rewarding hobby. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you begin your painting journey:
-
Assemble your Miniatures: If your miniatures come in multiple parts, start by carefully assembling them following the instructions provided by Games Workshop. Use plastic glue or super glue (depending on the material) and allow them to dry completely before moving on to painting.
-
Gather Your Painting Supplies: To get started, you'll need the basic painting supplies, which may include:
- Citadel paints (Base, Layer, Shade, etc.) or Citadel Air paints if you plan to use an airbrush.
- A set of paintbrushes (e.g. Basecoat brush, Layer brush, Detail brush).
- A palette or paint palette pad to mix and thin your paints.
- A water cup for cleaning your brushes.
- Optional: An airbrush and airbrush setup if you plan to use Citadel Air paints.
- Miniature primer (e.g., Citadel spray primer) to create a good surface for paint adhesion.
