Which paint system is right? The Army Painter makes three main lines. Warpaints Fanatic is their flagship acrylic range — high-coverage, highly pigmented, versatile, and the foundation of most painters' collections. Speedpaint is a one-coat system that combines basecoat, shade and highlight in a single layer — brilliant for speed painting armies or getting tabletop-ready results fast. Warpaints Air is pre-thinned for airbrushing, with a wider range of tones for blending and weathering. Not sure where to start? If you're buying for yourself: go Fanatic Mega. If you're buying a gift for a new painter: Speedpaint Most Wanted or Fanatic Most Wanted are both excellent entry points. If you're buying for a veteran who already has paints: the Fanatic Wargamers Set or the Speedpaint Complete Set 2.0 fills the gaps. |
Premium Sets ($250+)
These are the big premium sets — the kind of gift that lands with real impact. Each one delivers serious depth and variety, and if you're serious about painting (or buying for someone who is), they represent genuine long-term value.

Mega Sets ($100–$150)
This is the tier most people land in — whether they're buying for themselves or shopping for a gift. These sets deliver serious variety and coverage without the sticker shock of the complete collections, and they're the ones we recommend most often.
