Full details
The Warhammer Layer Paint in Fenrisian Grey is designed for miniature hobbyists looking to refine their models with high-quality, muted blue-grey highlights. It is an ideal tool for painters seeking to add depth and detail to base-coated surfaces, offering a smooth, professional finish on plastic, metal, and resin. While it provides excellent coverage for layering, users should be aware that as a layer paint, it has a thinner consistency than base paints and is not intended for single-coat coverage over dark plastic.

FAQs
Can I use Fenrisian Grey as a base coat?
It is not recommended. Layer paints are formulated to be thinner for transparency. Use a Citadel Base paint for initial coverage, then use Fenrisian Grey for highlights.
Do I need to thin this paint?
While it is ready to use, thinning it slightly with a drop of water usually improves flow and smoothness, especially when layering.
Is this paint compatible with other brands?
Yes, it is a water-based acrylic paint and will work well alongside most other high-quality hobby acrylics.
How do I remove this paint from my brush?
Simply rinse the brush in clean water immediately after use. For dried paint, use a specialized brush cleaner.
Does this paint have a matte or glossy finish?
Fenrisian Grey dries to a smooth, matte finish, which is ideal for standard miniature painting.
Can I use this with an airbrush?
Yes, but you will need to thin it significantly with airbrush medium to prevent clogging the nozzle.
Troubleshooting
The paint appears clumpy or thick on the palette.
Add a tiny amount of water or acrylic medium to the paint and stir well until it reaches a smooth, milk-like consistency.
The finish looks streaky when applied to the model.
You are likely applying too much paint at once. Ensure your brush is damp, not saturated, and apply multiple thin coats rather than one thick one.
The paint dried out inside the pot.
While difficult to reverse, try adding a few drops of acrylic flow improver and stirring gently; if the pigment has turned into a hard rock, the pot may need to be replaced.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using Fenrisian Grey, ensure your miniature is properly primed and base-coated, as this layer paint relies on a solid foundation. Always shake the pot vigorously before use to ensure the pigment and medium are perfectly integrated. When thinning, use a wet palette to maintain a consistent moisture level, adding only a tiny amount of water at a time. After your session, clean your brushes immediately with water to prevent the acrylic from drying in the bristles. Store the pots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and ensure the lid is snapped shut firmly to prevent the paint from thickening over time.
