FAQs

Do I need to prime my models before using this?

Yes, always prime your miniatures with a suitable primer to ensure the acrylic paint adheres correctly.

Can I use this paint with an airbrush?

While intended for brush application, it can be airbrushed if thinned appropriately with a suitable acrylic thinner.

Is this paint toxic?

No, this is a non-toxic, water-based acrylic paint.

What is the best base color to use under Screaming Skull?

Darker bone colors like Zandri Dust are the recommended base to allow the Screaming Skull highlight to pop.

How long does it take to dry?

Depending on the humidity and thickness applied, it typically dries to the touch within 10 to 15 minutes.

Troubleshooting

Apply thinner layers and ensure you are not overloading your brush; allow complete drying between coats.

Add one drop of distilled water or acrylic medium and stir thoroughly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent for highlighting bone and aged ivory textures
  • Non-toxic formula ensures safe use for all age groups
  • Consistent pigment density for smooth coverage
  • No mixing required saves time during painting sessions

Cons

  • Requires careful control to avoid pooling
  • Limited to specific highlight applications
  • Pot design requires keeping the lid tightly closed to prevent drying

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before use, give the 12ml pot a thorough shake to ensure the pigments are properly mixed. Always use a clean brush and apply thin layers rather than one thick glob to maintain fine detail. This paint is fully compatible with all other Warhammer acrylic range products. To care for your paint, ensure the lid snaps shut firmly after every use to prevent the acrylic binder from drying out. If the paint becomes too thick, you can add a single drop of distilled water or a dedicated acrylic medium to restore its flow, but avoid over-thinning as it will lose its coverage properties.
