The Army Painter, Dungeons and Dragons Official Paint Line Monsters Paint Set, 28 x 12 ml acrylic paints, 3 metallics, 3 washes and 2 effects paints, 1 D&D Owlbear Monster miniature

I used the paints from this box set, and the other D&D box set to paint a good few miniatures recently, and I use mostly Army painter paints currently for most of my models, but this recent set, for whatever reason just seems so much better than even my older paints. Which might just be because those older paints are well, older. But these paints come out so perfectly smooth out of the bottle and require almost no thinning at all for most pigments, and only a drop or two of water is needed to thin them out nicely for thin layering techniques. Pigments you would normally expect to be weak, like yellows and reds are far stronger in this set than any of my other paints (older army painter, Vallejo, Reaper and even GW) and I cannot recommend this set enough. The miniature included is also well molded, and quite a nice touch. The brush included in this set is also a great starter brush and ive been slowly replacing all my brushes with Army Painter ones due to their amazing quality to cost.Basically if your looking to start out with painting miniatures, buy this set and buy the other D&D starter paint set by Army Painter and you are good to go, you will have most colors and tones you would need for most models and could easily mix colors for those that you dont have. The only minor complaint I could say about this set is that the paint bottles are alittle on the small side of things, but as long as you know that going into this, your fine (for refrence they are about the same amount of paint as a GW standard paint pot. And for the cost your getting alot more value for this set) So all in all, I cant recommend this set enough and I really hope that The Army Painter starts selling these paints separately aswell so I can buy them when mine run out because there are a few amazing colors in this set I really love.The Owlbear I painted following The Army Painter's online guide btw, so anyone can use these paints to great success just following their easy steps!

You can go to your local Walmart to pick up paints and they'll do just fine. Your minis will still turn out just as well if you have a good touch, but hear me out here; if you're willing to splurge, Army Painter is the way to go. After I bought the Adventurer's Paint Set from my local game store, I decided to pick this up off Amazon. The colors you get are wonderful, giving you vibrant options to really make your minis pop. This also came with my favorite colors out of all of the paints I've used so far, including Rust Monster and Purple Worm. The paints are of a quality I've been unable to find at stores near me, thinning out extremely well and requiring less layers in general.The miniature that comes with this set is also wonderful, but you'll need to bring your own basic paints; as marketed, this is meant to be a sort of expansion set for those that already have the Adventurer's Paint Set. You should come here with at least some basic painting experience, and have your own base paints. While the offerings for the Adventurer's Paint Set will do, I recommend buying a bottle of Folkart white or grey to prime the beast of an owlbear mini that comes with this set!

I’ve painted miniatures for Dungeons and Dragons for several years now and finally decided to try out some Army Painter paints. I started with the Adventurer set and liked it so much that I went ahead and got the monster set!The paints cover so much better than the craft paints I’ve used before. They have uniform cover that results in less, more smooth looking coats. It has saved me time and resulted in supremely better finished products.The paints included here when added to the other two sets are plenty to paint with and rarely need to mix colors. The dried paints maintain their brightness resulting in eye popping colors.As for the mini, with enough patience abs by following the YouTube tutorial from Army Paintsr I really believe that anyone could end up with a reasonable looking owlbear in the end. The detail is stunning as with any other Nolzur mini I’ve painted in the past. Just let your imagination take you away and give your player characters something to fear while traveling through the grasslands!!!
