United StatesPrusa Starter Paint Set + Miniature Painting for Beginners Online course Bundle
The course is available only in English language.
We love painting our models as much as we love printing them. Our in-house model makers and 3D artists constantly deliver wonderful 3D-printed characters for our booths at various shows. That’s why we paired this paint set with the Miniature Painting for Beginners online course by Prusa Academy.
This course focuses on painting busts and miniatures, whether for display or tabletop wargaming. It is suitable for total beginners, but includes tips, tricks, and interesting sample projects that make it worthwhile for more experienced painters as well.
The course is text-based, but features a vast amount of pictures and short videos: about 550 in sample projects and an additional 250 in theory lessons! The short looping videos (about 10-30 seconds) show you the exact work and techniques with different brushes without the need to skip and rewind a long video just to see a single moment.
We painted all the projects using the beginner-friendly Prusa Starter Paint Set (details on the set below), using just a little mixing and a few extra tools (all mentioned in the checklists with each project).
The core of the course consists of six sample projects from three different painters, all in a very detailed, step-by-step format, guiding you from the fresh print to a completely painted model:
- Church ruins: a simple piece of FDM-printed wargaming terrain.
- Plague doctor: a one-piece SLA-printed miniature of a standard tabletop size (25mm base).
- Orc bust: a bit larger FDM-printed bust (about 12cm height).
- Ratfolk warband: batch painting of a small group of multi-part, SLA-printed miniatures, standard tabletop size (25mm bases).
- Dryad bust: another FDM-printed bust (about 10cm height), with a larger and more realistic face.
- Eyeballer: multi-part customizable SLA-printed "monster size" (60mm base) miniature.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED
A common question is: what should I buy as an absolute beginner? And the answer is simple: this set! Our model makers have carefully hand-picked a mix of eight acrylic colors, a metallic paint, a shading wash, and a brush-on primer from The Army Painter company - the same type they use daily in their workshop. And to make this set truly stand out, we added three useful brushes: a versatile standard brush, a fine-detail Precision brush, and a specialized Drybrush. Everything you need is right here in one box.
TOP-QUALITY COLORS
The set features a carefully curated collection of highly pigmented Warpaint Fanatic paints, renowned for excellent coverage and brilliant color. These user-friendly paints are easy to mix, combine, and apply, allowing you to turn single-color 3D prints into stunning, vibrant models. They work seamlessly with both FDM and SLA 3D prints, making them perfect for any enthusiast.
EXPAND AS YOU GO
This set is designed to be your foundation. Once you master the basics, expanding your palette is simple. The Army Painter’s portfolio is cleverly organized using the Warpaints Fanatic Flexible Triad System. Each of the 27 Flexible Triads offers six perfectly coordinated colours, from deep and dark to bright and light. Whether you’re painting historical figures, military models, fantasy creatures, or sci-fi miniatures, you’ll find the ideal combination easily.
MADE BY THE ARMY PAINTER
In 2023, The Army Painter completely overhauled its portfolio to bring vastly improved colors to the market with Speedpaint 2.0 and Warpaints Fanatic product lines. We picked the absolute top-tier Warpaints Fanatic introduced in 2024 - the new gold standard of miniature paint, as The Army Painter puts it. A product easy enough for a beginner, yet suitable for the worlds best painters. The colors have received a massive increase in pigment density, with the company claiming a 300-700% higher pigment concentration compared to original Warpaints.
The Army Painter's stabilizer, a unique ingredient in the premium resin base, allows the high pigment concentration to remain perfectly suspended, ensuring a smooth, creamy consistency and preventing separation. Independent reviews have confirmed these claims, praising the paints for their fantastic, smooth coverage and rich consistency right out of the bottle.
The reception for Warpaints Fanatic has been overwhelmingly positive. Countless reviews and community discussions have concluded that the new line is a great improvement over the old Warpaints and elevates The Army Painter to be a top-tier competitor, on par with or even superior to other leading brands.
