Warpaints Fanatic Mega Set and Complete Set Now Available for Pre-Order

Enthusiasts and hobbyists can now pre-order the Warpaints Fanatic Mega Set and Warpaints Fanatic Complete Set. The Warpaints Fanatic Complete Paint Set includes an extensive collection of 216 paints from the Fanatic range, making it a comprehensive option for hobbyists. Alongside the broad color palette, buyers will receive a Painting Guide and four free brushes. However, with a limited number of Complete Sets available, interested individuals are encouraged to secure their orders promptly.

A New Standard in Miniature Paints

Warpaints Fanatic is positioned as a new standard in miniature paints, offering a blend of accessibility, speed, and capability. Designed for users ranging from beginners to experienced painters, this high-quality acrylic paint aims to make an impact in the miniature painting community.

The paints feature a highly pigment-dense formulation set in a premium resin base with proprietary stabilizers, ensuring a smooth and easy application. With over 200 colors organized into Flexible Colour Triad families, Warpaints Fanatic simplifies color selection while providing a comprehensive range.

Distinct Features of Warpaints Fanatic

What distinguishes Warpaints Fanatic is its formulation with 300-700% more pigment than other brands. This unique feature allows for extreme thinning for advanced techniques or direct application for effortless coverage while retaining pigment dispersion, catering to various techniques and skill levels.

The new transparent bottle design enhances the color selection experience, and each bottle comes with high-grade stainless steel Mixing Balls for blended paint. The secondary Practical Naming Convention, based on the ISCC–NBS System of Colour Designation, aims to simplify the paint selection process.

The Future: Phasing Out the Original Warpaints Range

With advancements in materials and technology, The Army Painter has decided to phase out the original Warpaints range. Warpaints Fanatic is poised to become the new standard for quality, performance, value, and availability. While staple colors like Daemonic Yellow and Greenskin will still be part of the Colour Match System, the majority of the original range will be replaced by the Fanatic paints.

Release Date and Affordability

The first Warpaints Fanatic box sets are expected to be available for pre-order in early 2024. Specific release dates for individual paints and sets will be disclosed soon. The Army Painter assures the community that Warpaints Fanatic will be priced affordably, maintaining accessibility for all miniature enthusiasts. As always, the Warpaints Fanatic box sets will offer savings, reinforcing The Army Painter’s commitment to delivering value to their customer base.

Midweek Snippets https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/midweek-snippets-2/ https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/midweek-snippets-2/#respond Wed, 17 May 2023 16:21:16 +0000 https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/?p=10614 My Monday and Tuesday rocketed by. Of course, that’s anything but a complaint as I’m always ready for the weekend to get here faster. But if I’m going to be sprinting to the weekend, I need to keep my energy up with some bite-sized gaming stories. Today on the platter, we have:

Goodmire Swamp Minis and Terrain Up On Kickstarter

By backing our Kickstarter campaign, you’ll gain access to the following 25 resin-3D-printable STL files (AKA the “core set”). Please note: all rewards in this kickstarter campaign come in the form of strictly digital file downloads that will be made available to backers through saviminis.ca upon successful conclusion of the campaign. No physical products will be shipped.

The Mindarian Menace Sci-fi Models Up On Kickstarter

Welcome to the Mindarian Menace Kickstarter campaign.

The Mindarians Supremacy is a warlike faction of hyper intelligent aliens that rely on their overly developed brains as weapons of war. Their advanced robotics accomplishes any goals that raw brain power can’t solve.

Ultracryl Premium Paints Up On Kickstarter

Welcome to the world of Ultracryl – the brand new acrylic paint series for miniature painters and modelers that breaks new ground! Because we at Ten01 labs have spent the past 4 years developing the perfect hobby paints. Ultracryl therefore stands for:

  • Ultra pigmentation
  • Ultra saturation
  • Ultra opacity
  • Ultra matte
  • Ultra flow

Every single Ultracryl paint was developed in our in-house lab, extensively tested by us and various miniature painters, and then improved until its maximum quality was achieved. Now the time has come to introduce our Ultracryl paint series to the whole world – and thus also to you – and to realize the production via this Kickstarter campaign.

Dragon Lair 5 Miniatures Up On Kickstarter

Religion, fantasy, fairy tales or other stories are just echoes of the past, in which people had to praise or demonize certain beings due to various circumstances. And now I’m going to tell you about one of these creatures. These creatures could fly freely through the sky, pierced the human ear with their voice, possessed armor that modern weapons would not cause any harm, and with their breath they could burn entire cities just by whispering. There is nothing more beautiful than watching the flight of dragons, admiring their power, burning everything in its path. Would you like to become the ruler of such creatures, have a whole army of dragons that would carry out all your orders? Our studio has worked very hard on this: we have created this den of dragons, which is waiting for its ruler.

Kraken’s Cabal Metal Dice Available From Kraken Dice

Emerging from the depths of the unknown, entangling tentacles shape the Halflings’ future in the quaint seaside town of Honeywallow. As the grip tightens, the Halflings begin to lose their critical thinking skills, falling victim to repetition and imitation. Nothing is truly original; even their thoughts were echoes of silent whispers from a forgotten past. Unaware to them, they had fallen prey to a secret cabal, dedicated to surrounding Honeywallow’s very soul with their sinister influence. Guiding the town’s journey through darkness and light for centuries without the Halflings’ knowledge, there seemed to be no escape. Yet as long as they had their community, friendship, nightly music and games, all seemed well.


A halfling named Zaldal Freedream knew the truth given to him by a traveler who passed through town a few summers ago. Although Zaldal was known in the town for making outrageous claims that seemed too fantastical to be true, some began to comprehend that they were merely pawns in the Cabal’s scheme. Nonetheless, the residents of Honeywallow felt secure and content for the time being, and that was what truly mattered.Kraken Dice is proud to present its latest metal dice set: Kraken’s Cabal.

Friday Snippets https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/friday-snippets-3/ https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/friday-snippets-3/#respond Fri, 12 May 2023 16:32:10 +0000 https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/?p=10385 The weekend is almost upon us. Just gotta get through today and we’ll be there. I’m beyond excited because I got two new pickling jars that I’m going to fill up with tasty things. Also… I am currently getting a new fridge, oven, and dishwasher. It’s sweet! But, before I deal with those tasty treats, let’s nosh on some bite-sized gaming gaming stories. Today on the platter we have:

Old School Orcs Up On Kickstarter

The classic ‘Western’ Orc in loose fitting rudimentary clothing and a hood (it could be disguising hidden chainmail) is a staple of fantasy.

So, I am pleased to offer you a new range of 20 figures which with the separate shields and in many cases weapons, should give you plenty of that Satanic Panic hallmark, variety. If you look at my other ranges, you can use so many other weapons and shields that a totally unique army is a realistic possibility.

So, here are the 20 models. I’ve left weapons and standards off the command figures to allow you to really go to town and not be stuck with a single banner design.

Advantage/Disadvantage Dice Up On Kickstarter

I want to introduce a new method of rolling for advantage or disadvantage. Rolling two different dice is fun. However, rolling this new type of dice brings an exciting new element to the mix. Seeing that second internal dice break through the swirling glitter is magical.

Wasteland and Post-Apocalyptic Minis Up On Kickstarter

My name is Aniello Rivieccio , but no one call me Aniello, everybody call me just “Nello”. I am a digital artist with a past in the old school made of putty, wire and wooden tools to carve and modelling.  I have been a professional modeller for a lifetime,  achieving awards all over the world in the most notorius and important competitions , expecially in the historical military miniatures. The two important awards that still make me proud even today are the MFCA ( miniature figure collectors of north America )  Grand Master and the World Master Award from the international miniatures world committee . Despite I am considered almost only an historical’s miniatures artist , I always loved the fantasy world. This love, brought to life this COMMAND MINIATURES project, that I really hope with all my heart will fulfill the commitment. My efforts were made keeping in mind only to enjoy all of you.

Whatever will be the result of this campaign …I will always THANK YOU SO MUCH

Electric Melon Dice Available From Kraken Dice

The sweetness is unparalleled to anything on Earth: past, present, or future! You likely never taste anything like it, but from what I’ve experienced through this little piece of heaven, it has easily earned that crown. Simply a luxurious treat that any fan of melon treats in general must try at least once in their lifetime! Words alone cannot convey the feeling of bliss this treat will give you. Please treat yourself to them and see for yourself.
