The Army Painter Base Primer Matt Black, 400 mL Acrylic Spray Primer, Spray Paint Basecoat for Miniature Priming, Tabletop Roleplaying, Boardgames, and Wargames Miniature Modelling

As I’ve improved my Space Wolves painting skills, I realized I wanted them to look like they’ve truly fought in the grimdark universe of Warhammer 40k—worn, weathered, and ready for war. Army Painter’s Matte Varnish delivered exactly what I needed. It beautifully tones down any unwanted shine, giving my models a gritty, realistic finish while also protecting all the hard work I’ve put into them. Once again, Army Painter had the perfect answer. I’m beyond happy with the results and highly recommend this to anyone looking to take their miniatures to the next level.

Great coverage and odor control. Works great for all those painting projects, big and small. Color variety is minimal from what I saw, but perhaps that's better left for the paint job anyway. Black and white combinations were great for the Zenithal prime jobs, too! Overall, great value for the money.

I've used Army primers, both black and white, and have had consistent results. The thickness is good going on, and it dries quickly. It also receives paint extremely well and the end results are what I look for.

Update: Customer Service at TAP sent a replacement. After cutting cap an inch left and right of slot, it opens easier. Look at picture.Cons: Top is difficult to open. Fifth time I popped the lid, the nozzle broke off and it’s useless. I threw out an almost full can.Pros: Doesn’t leave weird texture or sticky feel. I’m using many different brands of acrylics and all work great on this. Lots of paint.

Not as thin as citadel, but good for the price

Does a great job on the miniatures in paint.

Let's face it, when you put a lot of time into painting a miniature, you are already invested. That much time and effort deserve a good product.I've used Army Painter Quickshade on literally hundreds of miniatures with excellent results. (I tried using stain as a dipping method because it was so much cheaper but I wasn't happy with the results.) Because Quickshade gave such excellent results, I decided to use the partner product "Army Painter Anti-shine".The first can or two was okay, nothing fabulous but it really made the Quickshade look good. After a couple of cans, I got what I thought was a bad can and it sprayed white all over my miniatures. This experience was repeated on three more cans of the product out of four cans over a year or so. I always followed spraying instructions to the letter, but I stored the cans in the garage where I thought they might have been damaged because of extreme temperatures. (I'd had good results in the past, so it seemed logical.)I recently (September 2018) bought one last can, which cost $15 and took a full week to arrive because spray paint has to be delivered by ground. I kept the can in the house for a week until I had proper spraying weather and again, followed the directions to the letter, only to find white residue on newly painted and dipped miniatures.Very disappointing!I remembered that I had an old can of Krylon (clear flat) that was used for a Halloween craft project a couple of years ago in the garage. (Walmart, $4.97 for a 25% larger can... This spray had been exposed to the same elements the Anti-shine cans had.) I decided to try it on one miniature, so I picked one I didn't like as much and ten seconds later, it was perfect. No overspray. No shine. No extra coats. No waiting. Done perfectly at 1/3 the cost! I'm convinced! Anti-shine is simply not a reliable product, particularly for the price point.If you are a haven't tried Quickshade yet, by all means, do so. You won't regret it. It's definitely worth the extra cost, but do yourself, your wallet, and your miniatures a favor and stay away from Army Painter Anti-shine.I'd give it zero stars if I could.

The quality of this is amazing. Just primed my first set of units and the look really good. Worlds incredibly well and does not require to much to cover the miniatures completely
