Pre-Order Now Open For Army Painter’s D&D Paint Sets & Brushes
June 15, 2018 by brennon
Army Painter has teamed up with Gale Force Nine and Wizards Of The Coast to produce a range of painting products for those delving into the hobby side of Dungeons & Dragons. Three options are now available for pre-order...
The first of these sets is the Adventurer's Paint Set. This comes with a range of colours that will be useful for painting up your character models as well as an exclusive Minsc & Boo miniature (for Baldur's Gate fans out there) and a brush you can use to get started.
The Monster Paint Set is the one that has grabbed me though as it comes with some awesome and lurid colours PLUS loads of washes and effect paints for making your monsters look extra gribbly.
It also comes with an exclusive model for the iconic Owlbear from Dungeons & Dragons (which is reason alone to buy the set in my opinion).
You can also get your hands on a new Brush Set which comes with the three main brushes any painter needs to gets started.
As a one-stop-shop for your first Dungeons & Dragons paints this is a pretty good way to start. We're seeing a lot of companies out there like Gale Force Nine producing miniatures to represent both your heroes and monsters on the tabletop so if you're so inclined, you now have a good place to pick up appropriate paints and accessories.
Will you be snapping these up?

Looks a good set of paints still play Balder’s gate on the PC at time’s an flumph pink Lol.
Well it’s good idea from Army Painter to have they own paint range for DnD.
Nice miniatures but since the bottles are only half the size of the usual army painter bottles at the same price… a bit expensive for my taste.
Where does it state that in text? Are you looking at just the picture?
No, when they first teased it there was a flyer with infos on the size. I can’t find it right now. Ah here: https://admin.thearmypainter.com/files/banner_rotation/Announcement_DnD_So.Me_Vertical.pdf “in new 12ml” so 5ml less. Or roughly 25%
Thank you for the reply. I wish it was more clear. That sucks that many are going to not know the difference and probably pay more for less given the DnD name. I hate it when they stuff like this.
I had this discussion with “Doctor Fausts Painting Clinic” and he said that these set actually would be more appealing to D&D players who only paint very few miniatures. Because less paint get’s waisted or dries up. He has a point there. But, like Star Wars and any other big brand, licence fees go on top of everything 😉
Thank you once again for your reply. I disagree with the premise of “Doctor Fausts Painting Clinic”. If anything the amount was lowered to meet a certain price point. IMHO, most people who want to start painting suffer from a “where do I start” blank paper fear. They need an almost paint by numbers introduction. Paint kits like this help IMHO provided they also come with good instructions.
Can’t say I disagree with you. On top of everything else, I don’t really see the point in yet another paint range, especially when it made by a company already selling a big range of paints. But in the end, because it has D&D written on it, someone will buy it regardless of reason, price or logic. 😉 I’ll stick to my (very old) GW and Vallejo paints.
