Full details
Stegadon Scale Green is an essential Base paint designed for hobbyists who paint Warhammer miniatures and complex scale models. It offers exceptional pigment density for uniform coverage, making it perfect for painting reptilian scales, dark armor, or atmospheric shadows. While it provides a reliable foundation, users should note that the deep teal matte finish may require subsequent highlighting or edge-layering to bring out maximum detail on dark surfaces.

FAQs
Does Stegadon Scale Green require a primer?
Yes, for the best adhesion and durability, we recommend priming your miniature with a dedicated hobby primer before applying Base paints.
Can I use this paint in an airbrush?
While it is a heavy-body Base paint, it can be used in an airbrush if properly thinned with an airbrush thinner to reach a skim-milk consistency.
How long does it take to fully cure?
While the paint is dry to the touch in 30 minutes, allow for 12-24 hours for the acrylic polymer to fully cure and harden.
Is this paint toxic?
It is a non-toxic water-based acrylic, though it should never be ingested and should be kept away from eyes.
Can I mix this with other paint brands?
Yes, it is generally compatible with other water-based acrylic miniature paints, though testing on a separate surface first is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears streaky when applied.
The paint may be too thick. Use a damp brush or a wet palette to slightly thin the paint, which helps it level out during application.
Paint has separated in the pot.
This is normal for acrylic paints. Shake the pot vigorously for 30-60 seconds or use a stainless steel mixing ball to re-incorporate the pigment.
Paint is clumping on the brush.
Ensure you are cleaning your brush regularly in a water rinse cup to prevent paint from drying in the ferrule.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Stegadon Scale Green paint, always close the flip-top lid firmly until it clicks. If you notice the paint becoming thick, add a tiny amount of water or a dedicated acrylic medium to restore the original consistency.
Compatibility is broad; the paint performs equally well on Games Workshop plastic kits, resin forgeworld models, and traditional white-metal castings. Always ensure your models are primed before application to ensure maximum durability. Store the pots in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the pigment from separating or drying prematurely.
