Full details

FAQs
Do I need to prime my miniature before using this paint?
Yes, always prime your model with a suitable hobby primer to ensure the paint adheres correctly to the surface.
Can this be used with an airbrush?
Yes, but you will need to thin it down significantly with an airbrush thinner to prevent clogging your nozzle.
Is this paint water-soluble?
Yes, being a water-based acrylic, you can thin it and clean your brushes using plain water.
Can I mix Brass Scorpion with other colors?
Yes, you can mix it with other Warhammer Colour paints to create custom metallic shades or highlights.
Does this paint dry to a matte or glossy finish?
It dries to a semi-metallic finish that is neither fully matte nor high-gloss, providing a realistic look for metal surfaces.
Troubleshooting
The paint appears streaky or thin.
Apply a second thin coat after the first has completely dried; metallic paints often require two layers for a smooth, solid finish.
The paint is too thick or gloopy.
Add a tiny amount of water or thinning medium to the paint on your palette until you achieve a smooth, milk-like consistency.
Metallic pigments look separated in the pot.
Stir the paint thoroughly with a brush handle or paint stirrer, then shake the pot well before use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best results, shake the pot vigorously for at least 30 seconds to ensure the metallic pigments are fully integrated with the medium. If the paint feels too thick, transfer a small amount to a palette and thin it with a drop of clean water or a dedicated acrylic medium.
After painting, ensure the flip-top lid is pressed firmly until you hear a 'snap' to prevent evaporation. Store the pots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To clean your brushes, rinse them thoroughly with lukewarm water immediately after use to ensure no metallic pigment dries within the bristles, which can cause them to fray or lose shape.
