Pigments – Dry Powders for Photorealistic Effects
Pigment powders are finely ground dry mineral and synthetic pigments used to add photorealistic dust, rust, earth, and environmental effects to scale models and miniatures. Applied dry with a brush and optionally fixed with a pigment fixer, they create subtle surface effects that are virtually impossible to replicate with liquid paints alone and are widely used by professional modellers and competition painters for the final finishing touches on their work.
Loaded Dice stocks pigment powders in our Barry, South Wales shop and online at loadeddice.uk, including ranges from Green Stuff World, AK Interactive, and other leading brands covering dust, rust, earth, soot, ash, and other essential pigment tones.
Frequently Asked Question
Hobby pigments are dry powder paints used to create realistic dust, rust, earth, soot, and environmental effects on miniatures and scale models. They are applied dry and optionally fixed with a spray fixative.
Load a soft brush with pigment and apply to the desired area by stippling or dragging. Leave unfixed for a powdery natural look, or seal with a fixative spray for a permanent finish.
For display models, pigments can be left unfixed for a more authentic powdery appearance. For gaming miniatures that will be handled, sealing with a fixative spray is recommended to prevent rubbing off.
Dust tones, rust colours, earth browns, soot and carbon black, and ash grey are the most versatile pigments for wargame miniatures. They suit basing, vehicle weathering, and environmental effects across all faction types.
Hobby pigments should be used in a well-ventilated area and avoid inhaling the powder. A simple dust mask is recommended for extended use. All brands we stock comply with safety regulations.
