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!

There were a few issues. Despite multiple attempts to get the sword to straighten out, it never really took, so that was disappointing. The brush it comes with is alright, but for the finicky bits you may want to be a specific detail brush. Also, the blue that came with my set had no dropper top (just a cap) so when I opened it in made quite a mess. For just one mini, there was enough left over. Just be careful when opening yours!

Not a bad intro to mini-painting
By Barry D. Johnson on April 13, 2019
I've played D&D for 25 years, but never got into painting minis (or really anything at all), so this was literally my first ever attempt. It didn't turn out too bad. I did make a wash (there's none included in this set) out of paint, water, and soap from a recipe I found online that seemed to do alright. Overall, not bad for a beginner, I think.By Barry D.

When I first received this product, it was sealed. Plastic wrapped and yet it did not come with the figure mentioned on the box and some of the paints was used already. This gave me the idea it was an open box, while I was bummed about it the seller gave me a partial refund and I used the product anyway cause I had a game coming and painted figures was better than blank white ones. I myself had lost the green paint somewhere, my fault. so I mixed the yellow and blue to paint everything green. Everything painted I mixed paints somehow to make the colors used. My only hype was the set didn't come with a purple. You can't mix anything in this set to get anything remotely purple, so I Purple Wurm sits and waits until I get another kit.
My only other hype was the the black paint no matter how much you shook the bottle would never come out neatly. rather instead would come out in a giant blob forcing me to find ways to use all the paint squirted out and now i'm out and have to buy another paint set early than expected.

Careful with this paint as some of it can be clumpy and not all of the paint seems to have the same viscosity. Some colors needed more thinning than others.
I think there may be better started sets out there but this one was solid.

I'm no professional...
By Clay Hirrill on January 17, 2019
For the price I think it was a good buy. The mini isn't great, it's for practice not for play, the paint was good, and I could care less about the brush as I have other brushes I use.By Clay Hirrill on January 17, 2019

Ich habe vor kurzem begonnen, DND zu spielen und wollte meine eigene Miniatur nutzen. Leider habe ich keinen passenden Halb Orc finden können rund so erstellte ich meinen bei Heroforge.Reviewed in Germany on September 5, 2020
Ich habe noch nie Minis bemalt und auch sonst noch nie etwas mit Pinsel und Farbe gemacht. Nach einiger Recherche entschied ich mich für dieses Starterset. Wichtig war mir ein nicht exorbitanter Preis und einfache Verwendung als Anfänger.
Lieferung:
Wie immer in wenigen Tagen und unversehrt!
Verpackung und Inhalt:
Die Farben sind in einem flachen Pappkarton verpackt, der mit nützlichen Infos bedruckt ist und schon Freude auf den Inhalt macht. Im Set enthalten sind eine kleine Plastik Miniatur, eine Anleitung zum bemalen des Minis, ein spitzer Pinsel und die Farben, die man zur Bemalung gemäß Anleitung benötigt.
Bemalung:
Es ist zwar ein grauer Primer, also eine Grundierung enthalten, die zuerst aufgebracht werden sollte. Ich hatte mir aber auf Empfehlung von Freunden einen separaten Primer von Zitadelle zum aufsprühen gekauft (Schwarz) und verwendet.
Ich habe zunächst den im Set enthaltenen Mini bemalt und anschließend meinen etwas teureren Heroforge Mini (den Halb Orc). Ich bin mit dem Resultat äußerst zufrieden. Die Farben halten bisher sehr gut, das Auftragen war für mich als totaler Anfänger auch machbar.
Ein Wash wäre noch schön gewesen. Ich habe diesen aber einfach selbst erstellt, indem ich die dunklen Farben mit Wasser gemischt habe.
Die Farben habe ich übrigens auf einer selbst gebauten „wet pallet“ gemischt (mehrere Lagen gefaltetes und mit Wasser vollgesaugtes Küchenpapier und einer Lage Backpacker drauf in einer flachen Tupperbox).
Man hätte die Minis allein mit dem beiliegendem Pinsel bemalen können. Ich hatte mir aber noch das Dreier Pinsel Set vom selben Hersteller gekauft. Da war noch ein etwas feinerer Pinsel drin (für die Augen) und ein weiter Bürstenpinsel, den ich für das Dry Brushing genutzt habe.
Fazit:
Die Farben machen echt Spaß und sind für Beginner super geeignet. Sie trocknen schnell auf den Minis, und halten dort. Wenn man noch etwas mehr Geld ausgeben kann und möchte, dann empfehle ich, noch einen feineren Pinsel und einen Dry brush Pinsel dazu zukaufen. Den Sprühprimer kann ich auch empfehlen, der kostet nur leider knappe 20 Euro. Es geht aber auch ohne. Macht euch am besten eine Wet Pallet, dann lassen sich die Farben gut mischen und trocknen nicht s9 schnell auf der Pallette.
PS: Die Minis sehen in echt noch wesentlich schöner aus als auf den Fotos! :D
