Quick Answer
The Warpaints Fanatic Starter Set includes 11 paints: 7 acrylic colors, 2 metallics, 1 wash, and 1 brush-on primer, plus a free miniature figure and starter brush.
Why This Set Works for Beginners
The selection covers the core colors you need to paint a complete miniature without buying extra pots. The included brush-on primer saves a step, and the wash adds depth instantly.
What You Don't Get (and Why That's Okay)
This set omits specialty paints like glazes, contrast-style paints, or technical effects. For a starter kit, that keeps the price low and the learning curve short. You can expand later with individual Fanatic paints.
FAQ: Warpaints Fanatic Starter Set Colors
How many paints are in the set?
11 paints total: 7 standard acrylic colors, 2 metallic acrylics, 1 wash, and 1 brush-on primer.
What are the acrylic colors?
The 7 acrylics cover a basic palette: a light and a dark neutral, a red, a blue, a yellow, a green, and a brown. Exact shade names vary by production batch, but you get a balanced range for basecoating and layering. You can mix these to create many additional shades.
Which metallics are included?
One silver/gunmetal metallic and one gold/brass metallic. These let you paint weapons, armor, and jewelry right away.
What does the wash do?
A single dark wash (typically a brown or black tone) that flows into recesses to create shadows and definition. It's the easiest way to add depth to a miniature. Apply it after basecoating and before highlights.
Is the primer really a paint?
Yes, the brush-on primer is a paint that adheres directly to bare plastic or resin. It acts as both a primer and a basecoat, so you can skip spray priming. Thin it slightly and apply two thin coats for best adhesion.
Do I need to buy anything else to start?
No. The set includes a free miniature figure and a starter brush. You only need water for thinning and a palette (a paper plate works).
