FAQs
Do I need to prime my model before using this paint?
Yes, always prime your miniatures first to ensure the acrylic paint bonds correctly to the surface material.
Can this paint be used with an airbrush?
While designed for brush application, it can be airbrushed if thinned appropriately with an airbrush medium.
Is Stormhost Silver a metallic paint?
Yes, it is a high-shine silver metallic paint intended for highlighting.
How do I clean my brushes after use?
Since this is a water-based acrylic, simply rinse your brushes thoroughly in clean water immediately after you finish painting.
Does this paint require a specific base color?
It performs best over a darker silver or steel base coat, but can be applied over most base colors for specific effects.
Is the paint toxic?
No, it is a non-toxic, water-based acrylic formula.
Troubleshooting
The paint appears separated or watery
The metallic pigments have settled. Shake the pot vigorously for 60 seconds or use a stainless steel agitator ball inside the pot.
Paint is clumping on the brush
The paint is drying too quickly. Thin it slightly with a drop of water on your palette to improve flow.
Streaky coverage
Ensure you are using multiple thin layers rather than one thick layer. Let each application dry completely before adding the next.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, ensure your workspace is well-lit and that you have a damp palette to keep the paint from drying too quickly. Shake the pot vigorously for at least 30 seconds to ensure the metallic pigments are fully integrated with the medium.
Compatibility: This paint is compatible with all standard Warhammer base paints and can be used on plastic, metal, or resin models. Always ensure your miniature has been primed before applying any layer paints for optimal adhesion.
Care: Store the pot upright in a cool, dry place. To extend the life of your paint, wipe the rim of the pot with a damp paper towel before closing the lid to ensure an airtight seal. If the paint becomes too thick, add a tiny drop of clean water or a dedicated acrylic thinner.
