Warhammer Colour Layer Paints – Highlights and Detail Work
Layer paints are thinner than Base paints, formulated specifically for building up highlights and adding fine detail to your miniatures. Applied over a solid base coat, Layer paints allow you to gradually lighten areas of the model, creating the impression of depth, texture, and three-dimensional form that brings miniatures to life.
The Warhammer Colour Layer range is the largest in the system with over 180 colours, giving you everything needed for smooth transitions, edge highlights, and intricate detail work. Loaded Dice stocks the complete Layer paint range in our Barry, South Wales shop and online at loadeddice.uk, with expert advice available from our team of active hobby painters.
Frequently Asked Question
Layer paints are thinner paints used for highlighting and detail work over a Base coat. They allow you to gradually build up lighter tones on raised surfaces, creating depth and definition on your miniatures.
Layer paints have a thinner consistency and lower pigment density than Base paints. This makes them ideal for smooth highlighting and blending, whereas Base paints are designed for solid coverage as a first coat.
Not necessarily, but applying a Shade wash after your Base coat and before your Layer highlights is the classic three-step approach that gives great results quickly. The Shade adds depth to recesses that the Layer highlights then contrast against.
Load a small amount of thinned Layer paint onto the tip of a fine brush and drag it along the raised edges of armour panels, helmets, and other raised surfaces. Two thin coats give a cleaner, more controlled edge highlight than one thick pass.
Calgar Blue, Evil Sunz Scarlet, Warpstone Glow, Ushabti Bone, and Ironbreaker are among the most popular Layer paints, appearing in painting guides for a huge number of factions and models.
