Product Information
Full details
The Warhammer Colour Base Paint in Incubi Darkness is designed for hobbyists and miniature painters who require a reliable, high-coverage foundation for their models. Its primary benefit is a high pigment density that allows for a smooth, opaque finish in minimal layers, making it ideal for deep armour and shadowy cloth. One caveat is that users must ensure the pot lid is fully snapped shut after each use, as the acrylic formula will dry out if exposed to air for extended periods.

FAQs
Does this paint require thinning?
It is formulated for direct application, but thinning it with a small amount of water on a palette is recommended for smoother results.
Can I use this paint in an airbrush?
Yes, but you will need to thin it down significantly with an airbrush thinner or medium to achieve the correct consistency.
Is this paint non-toxic?
Yes, it is a water-based, non-toxic acrylic paint suitable for hobbyists.
Will this paint work on finecast resin miniatures?
Yes, it adheres well to plastic, metal, and resin provided the miniature is properly primed.
How long should I wait between coats?
Wait until the first coat is completely dry to the touch, usually 5-10 minutes, before applying a second coat.
How do I store the paint to prevent it from drying out?
Keep the lid tightly closed and store in a cool, dark environment. Wiping the rim clean after each session helps maintain an airtight seal.
Troubleshooting
Paint is clumping or looks gritty on the model
The paint may be dried out or not shaken enough. Add a tiny amount of water to your palette to thin it, or mix thoroughly with a clean tool.
Paint is rubbing off the miniature during handling
Ensure the miniature was properly primed before painting and that the basecoat is fully cured before handling.
Lid will not close tightly
Check for dried paint residue on the rim or lid hinge. Clean the area with a damp cloth or hobby knife to ensure a tight seal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before painting, ensure your miniature is cleaned of any mold lines and primed with a dedicated hobby primer. Shake the pot vigorously for at least 30 seconds to ensure the pigments are thoroughly mixed before use. Use a dedicated palette rather than painting straight from the pot to keep your paint fresh and prevent contamination.
For care, wipe the rim of the pot with a damp cloth before closing the lid to ensure an airtight seal. Keep the paint stored away from direct sunlight and extreme heat. If the paint becomes slightly thick over time, a drop of acrylic thinner can restore its original texture. Always clean your brushes immediately after use with warm water to prevent acrylic build-up in the bristles.
