Paints

Miniature paints are one of the most personal choices in the hobby. Experienced painters develop strong preferences for specific brands and formulations, and the debate between paint lines is as lively as any rules discussion. Noble Knight carries paints from the major manufacturers that have defined miniature painting across the hobby's history.

Citadel Colour from Games Workshop, Vallejo's Model Colour and Game Colour lines, Army Painter, Reaper Paints, Scale 75, AK-Interactive, AMMO by Mig Jimenez and many other lines are available and in our broad inventory. Our selection includes the full spectrum: base coats, layer paints, washes and shades, dry brushing formulas, and technical paints for specific effects. Most lines are available as individual bottles or curated sets. We also stock essential painting accessories including primers, varnishes, and mediums like flow improver and retarder that experienced painters rely on.
