Welcome to the very first miniature painting supply list for Mini Primetime, hosted by the incredibly-talented Will Friedle.
Our very first episode features Sam Riegel learning how to work with a limited color palette to convey a sense of depth by using either grey or purple tones and how to add texture through dry brushing. In case you missed it, you can check out our very first episode below.
To paint your own Nott the Brave miniature like Ian Phillips of Iron Tusk Miniature Painting, you’ll need the following paints. You can pick up your own Mighty Nein miniature set right now at shop.critrole.com, shop.critrole.co.uk or wherever Steamforged products are sold.
And now, on to Ian’s suggested supply list!

PAINTING HANDLES
Mini painting handles are far from necessary for your mini painting needs, though some painters do find painting with them makes the hobby easier. Like almost everything involving mini painting, this is very much up to what works for you. Before purchasing one, it may be a good idea to visit your local hobby store and try one out before you buy one.
However, If you want to use the exact same mini painting handles as Ian and Will, they use either the Hobby Holder or the Citadel Painting handle.
