Painting Your Miniatures

The included Citadel Colour paints and brush allow you to bring your miniatures to life. Follow these basic steps for painting:

1. Prepare Paints: Shake each paint pot thoroughly before opening to ensure the pigment is well mixed.

For example, use Retributor Armour for gold areas on Stormcast Eternals, and Leadbelcher for metallic parts. Kantor Blue, Khorne Red, Rakarth Flesh, and Steel Legion Drab can be used for other details.
3. Thinning Paints: For smoother application and to avoid obscuring detail, it is often beneficial to thin your paints slightly with a small amount of water on a palette before applying.

Údržba

Proper care will ensure the longevity of your miniatures and game components:

• Miniatures: Store assembled and painted miniatures in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent paint fading or plastic warping. Consider using a dedicated miniature storage case to protect them during transport.
• Barvy: Ensure paint pot lids are securely closed after each use to prevent drying. Store paints upright at room temperature. If paints thicken, a small amount of water can sometimes revive them, but avoid excessive thinning.
• Štětec: Always clean your Citadel Colour Starter Brush thoroughly with water immediately after use. Reshape the bristles to a point before allowing it to dry to maintain its tip.
• Playing Mat: Store the playing mat rolled up or folded flat to prevent creases. Keep it away from sharp objects and liquids.
• Příručka: Keep the handbook clean and dry. Avoid bending or tearing pages.

Odstraňování problémů

Zde jsou řešení běžných problémů, se kterými se můžete setkat:

• Miniature parts not fitting:

  Ensure all mold lines and excess plastic (flash) have been removed from the connecting surfaces. Check the handbook's assembly diagrams to confirm correct part orientation. Do not force parts together, as this can cause damage.

• Paint is too thick or clumpy:

  Shake the paint pot vigorously. If it's still too thick, add a tiny drop of water to a small amount of paint on a palette and mix thoroughly before applying. Ensure the lid was sealed properly after previous use.

• Brush bristles splaying:

  This usually indicates dried paint in the ferrule (the metal part holding the bristles) or improper cleaning. Clean the brush thoroughly with water, ensuring all paint is removed from the base of the bristles. Reshape the tip while wet.
• Difficulty understanding game rules:

  Re-read the relevant sections of the 48-page handbook. Consider watching official Warhammer Age of Sigmar introductory videos (if available from Games Workshop) or seeking advice from experienced players at local hobby stores or online communities.
