Army Painter Warpaints Fanatic: Shieldwall Blue 18ml

Shieldwall Blue is a steely, muted blue that suits grounded, realistic schemes — rank-and-file uniforms, weathered armour and anything that shouldn't look cartoon-bright. Part of Army Painter's Warpaints Fanatic line, it lays down smooth and pigment-rich for even, reliable coverage.

At a glance

Best for

• Base-coating and layering by brush
• Thinning right down for glazes, washes or airbrush work
• Uniforms, weathered armour and grounded schemes

The dropper bottle keeps waste down and makes mixing your own thinned coats a doddle, so you get the same reliable feel from the first bottle to the fiftieth.

A muted blue for armies with their boots on the ground. Pair it with a darker shade and a lighter highlight to build depth, or add a good synthetic brush to make the most of the flow.
