## Description

Product Description About Us The Grinning Gargoyle is the creation of wargaming and role-playing veterans Warren and Steve: “Inspired by the games we love we strive to create product designs that we want to use ourselves and are sure our customers will enjoy.” Grinning Gargoyle products are designed for anyone who wishes to add a little bit of quality to their Tabletop Roleplaying, Board Gaming or Trading Card collecting experience. We endeavour to create affordable premium products and hope that the Grinning Gargoyle logo is seen as a sign of quality and excellence by our customers. About our Range 18ml Dropper Bottles Our acrylic Warpaints come in soft 18ml bottles with precise dropper design, making it easy to administer paint in exact quantities, without risking them drying out. With the dropper design you do not need to worry about bottles toppling over and spillage. The nozzle design works perfectly to contain the paint. Heavy Pigment Our paints are created to be easy to apply and allow you to get your miniatures finished quickly and efficiently for the gaming table. We use heavy pigments in our range which helps to ensure optimal coverage, allowing you to paint with fewer layers for a quicker paint application. Wide Colour Range Our range consists of multiple sets of 20 Paints designed specifically for the genre you are interested in. You have everything you need to get underway with a starter set but you can then add to that set by purchasing expansion sets in the series. Just choose the Miniature Painting Starter set you want and start painting your Warhammer Miniatures, Dungeons and Dragons Figures or Star Wars Models. Safe and Sound Our range of acrylic army painter warpaints are all non-toxic and safe to use for anyone just starting out in the miniature painting hobby, or an advanced hobbyist who might be concerned about their health but does not want to compromiseg on the quality of their painting tools. About our Sets Free Paint Brush in Every Set The contents of this Miniature Painting Starter kit allows you to get started straight from the box including a free brush. No excuse for the miniatures and models in your board game, role-playing game or wargame not to be painted anymore. Build your Collection one Box at a time Each Starter set includes all the colours a beginner could want to start painting while the Core set and subsequent Expert set includes a range of paints that complement the previous boxes and add to your collection in a logical way. Includes 20 Different Paints Our sets include 20 paints including two washes, two unique colours and two metallics. The colours have been carefully selected so you have the perfect selection for starting your new hobby. A marvellous range for painting either a small Warhammer or a great Citadel. About our Paints High Quality Acrylic Paint Our creamy and highly pigmented paint ensures optimal coverage whether basecoating or highlighting, but also retains fantastic blending capabilities and thinning options for experienced painters. Our Fantasy and Sci-Fi Starter Paint Sets are both perfect kick-off points, if you’re new to the hobby or looking to jump-start your old collection. Here you will find the right starter colour palette for your future endeavours into the art of painting figures. Our Warpaints are high-quality acrylic paints with excellent consistency and opacity. Some colours like blue hues will have a better opacity than for example yellow hues, because pigments behave differently from colour to colour. Different Types of Paint Our different Warpaints are organized into an easy system of coloured lids, that represent which type of product it is. Our standard Warpaints and Effects carry the signature white lid. Red lids signify our line of Quickshade Washes, which create spectacular depth and shading for your miniatures. Black lids are our range of Metallic paints, with a vibrantly shimmering metal shine. Our Gold-lidded bottles of Warpaints Air, specially formulated for use in your airbrush and with a unique Colour Triad System! Finally, but not at all the least is our Silver lidded Speed paint range which offer a true one-coat painting solution offering rich shading, vibrant saturation, and an easy highlight simultaneously. How to Get Started When you buy our hobby sets you may find that the paint inside will have separated a little. So, to get the best out of our range you need to shake them like this as shown above. Our Acrylic paints will work perfectly well on Resin, Plastic and Metal miniatures. Painters use our range to complete armies in Fantasy, Sci-Fi and a range of Historical periods. The range works very well with Warlord Black powder & Bolt Action, Perry Napoleonic, Victrix Ancients, Battle Systems Core Space, Mantic Terrain Crates and Dungeon Saga. The Grinning Gargoyle fantasy range is a perfect match as are Frostgrove, Wizkids, Reaper, Nolzur's Marvellous range and DnD.

Review: Great Paints, you need to nix them well! - I bought these paints as I was running out of a few of the basic colours. I liked the paint colours, thought they were interesting and eagerly awaited their arrival. I have to say I was impressed when they arrived. They certainly look great, the packaging is good. These are clearly aimed at the miniature market, which isn't something I really do, but hey, paint is paint. So in use these things are really good, the colours are vibrant and they cover well. Its easy to get some great saturation on these paints so that your model looks really colourful. The one downside is that if you leave the paint alone for a few days, it tends to separate a little. Which means you need to give them a really good shake to get them mixed up again. I ended up using some paint mixing balls in each pot, which really helped. So I'd advise shaking them, shake them again, re-shake and for added luck, one last shake. But otherwise these are excellent paints and would highly recommend.
Review: Comprehensive Starter Set - I was completely new to miniature painting when I bought this set, and I haven't tried any other brands of paint, so I can't compare quality with anything else. What I can tell you though is that in terms of value and range of colours included, I'm pretty sure this is the best miniature painting set available on desertcart at time of writing (without going crazy and buying a giant box featuring every shade of the spectrum). I was able to paint much nicer figures with these than I was ever expecting to, and making my own mixes was hardly ever necessary as there was such a comprehensive range of colours included in the box. I especially like that there were a couple of washes included, which are truly the key to making miniatures look extra-special, as well as a couple of metallics which are great fun to use. And the bottles are a good size too - I've painted around 180 figures so far and none of the colours have run out yet (although some are getting close). The only downsides I can't think of are that some of the paints are definitely more watery and require more layers than others (I'm not sure this is a brand issue so much as just the way those colours inherently are), and the brush it comes with is a token afterthought (you will absolutely need to get a proper set separately, as well as primer and varnish); but really I'm just nit-picking here, as I was able to achieve everything I wanted and more with this set. If you're looking to get into miniature painting, I really can't recommend this box enough.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality paints for a starter
*by R***S on 31 October 2025*

A good mix of paints. Have found some very loose and need a lot of paint to get the colour, others are a one and done. Love the dropper bottle style find this easier to get what you want paint wise
