Product Information
Full details
Troll Slayer Orange is an essential acrylic layer paint for miniature hobbyists looking to add vibrant, high-intensity orange tones to their models. It is specifically designed to provide smooth coverage over base paints, making it ideal for highlighting and building color depth on plastic, resin, or metal miniatures. While it offers excellent pigment quality and a clean matt finish, users should note that as a layer paint, it has a thinner consistency than base paints and is best applied in multiple thin coats rather than one thick application.

FAQs
Do I need to prime my models before using this paint?
Yes, always apply a primer first to ensure the paint adheres correctly to plastic, metal, or resin surfaces.
Can I use this paint in an airbrush?
While intended for brush application, it can be airbrushed if thinned appropriately with an acrylic thinner or airbrush medium.
Is this paint toxic?
No, it is a non-toxic, water-based formula, though it should still be kept away from children and pets.
How many coats do I need?
Depending on the underlying color, 2-3 thin coats are typically recommended for full, even coverage.
How do I remove this paint if I make a mistake?
If wet, it can be wiped away with a damp cloth. If dried, it may require a specialized paint stripper designed for miniatures.
What is the best way to clean my brushes?
Rinse thoroughly with clean water, and use a brush soap or conditioning cleaner to preserve the bristles.
Troubleshooting
The paint appears streaky when applied.
Your paint may be too thick or you are applying too much pressure. Thin the paint slightly with water on a palette and use multiple light, overlapping coats.
The paint has separated in the pot.
This is normal for acrylic paints. Use a stainless steel agitator ball or stir thoroughly with a brush handle until the pigment and medium are fully combined.
The paint is drying too quickly on the brush.
Ensure you are using a wet palette to keep the paint hydrated, and clean your brush in water frequently during your session.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before opening the pot, ensure you shake it vigorously for 30 seconds to reincorporate the pigment; if the paint feels too thick, add a drop of clean water to the palette rather than directly into the pot. Always keep the flip-top lid closed tightly when not in use to prevent the paint from hardening. After painting, rinse your brushes thoroughly with cool, clean water. This paint is fully compatible with the entire Warhammer Colour range, including base paints, shades, and glazes. Store in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight to maximize the shelf life of the acrylic medium.
