Gear for Tabletop Miniature Painters

Miniature painting has two speeds — batch-painting a squad to tabletop standard, and slowing down on a hero piece — and they want different gear. Speed paints and a zenithal prime carry the first; a Kolinsky point and a wet palette carry the second.

This page collects both lanes: the one-coat paints that finish armies, the brush-and-palette core that makes layering possible, and the airbrush step that turns priming into shading.

The path

01
Batch the squad
Zenithal prime, one-coat paints, a recess wash — table-ready units at three per evening.
02
Build the brush core
A real Kolinsky round and a wet palette change what your hands can do more than any tutorial.
03
Learn the two highlights
Dry brush for speed, edge highlight for heroes — both live on this site with steps.
04
Add air when ready
An airbrush turns priming into pre-shading and gradients. It is a force multiplier, not a requirement.
