Miniature painting

Miniature painting is the painting and finishing of small model figures, often made for display, collecting, or tabletop games. It combines surface preparation, layered color, and fine detail at a small scale.

Priming (painting): Priming is the application of an initial coating that helps later paint adhere and reveals surface imperfections. A primer provides a consistent surface before color is applied to a miniature.
Paintbrush: A paintbrush is a tool with bristles used to apply paint to a surface. Brush shape and condition determine control over tiny painted areas.
Warhammer 40,000: Warhammer 40,000 is a science-fiction tabletop miniature wargame published by Games Workshop. Its armies are a prominent setting for collectible and play-ready painted figures.
Airbrush: An airbrush is a tool that sprays finely atomized paint using compressed air. It covers broad areas and creates gradients faster than a conventional brush.
Eavy Metal: Eavy Metal is Games Workshop's studio painting team, known for the company's miniature product artwork. Its polished models helped establish a recognizable commercial standard for fantasy and science-fiction figures.
Acrylic paint: Acrylic paint is a fast-drying paint made with pigment suspended in an acrylic polymer emulsion. Its quick drying and water cleanup suit many miniature-painting workflows.
Wet palette: A wet palette keeps water-based paint workable on a damp membrane beneath a permeable sheet. It slows drying and helps maintain usable paint consistency during detail work.
Dungeons & Dragons: Dungeons & Dragons is a fantasy tabletop role-playing game in which players portray characters in shared adventures. Painted figures can represent player characters, monsters, and other game pieces.
Sculpture painting: Sculpture painting is the application of paint to three-dimensional sculpted works, often at larger display scales. Larger sculptures permit different brushwork and viewing-distance decisions than small figures.
Golden Demon: Golden Demon is a miniature-painting competition organized by Games Workshop. Its entries showcase highly finished figures and ambitious display techniques.
