FAQs for Fantasy Set Users

Beginner-Level FAQs

1. Can I paint miniatures straight from the bottle?
   Yes. Brush-on coverage is smooth and opaque. Shake well before use.
2. Do I need primer?
   Recommended. Micro-Mark White, Black, or Gray primers give better adhesion and color vibrancy.
3. What games is this set best for?
   Perfect for fantasy/sci-fi games like Warhammer, D&D, Star Wars: Legion, and more.
4. Is the paint safe indoors?
   Yes. Water-based, low-odor, and non-toxic.
5. How do I clean brushes?
   Rinse with warm water and Micro-Mark Cleaner immediately after use.

Moderate-Level FAQs

1. Can I use these metallics in an airbrush?
   Yes. Thin with Micro-Mark Thinner (20%) and spray at ~20 PSI. Metallics may require less thinning—always test.
2. How do I keep detail sharp on miniatures?
   Apply in thin layers, let dry fully between coats.
3. What’s special about Dragon Purple?
   It’s a deep, saturated violet ideal for magical accents, cloaks, and monsters.
4. How should I layer Goblin Green for natural effects?
   Use Black or Charcoal undercoat, then highlight with White for depth.
5. Do metallics mix well with solid colors?
   Yes. Mix metallics with flats for tinted metal tones (e.g., Goblin Green + Gold = enchanted armor).

Expert-Level FAQs

1. Are these suitable for non-metallic metal (NMM) techniques?
   Yes. Use White, Black, Charcoal, and Electric Blue for steel, or Gold/Yellow blends for NMM gold.
2. Can I glaze metallics for subtle effects?
   Absolutely. Thin heavily with Thinner or Flow Improver to achieve shimmering glazes.
3. How does the Clear Coat behave?
   It dries matte to satin depending on application. Can also seal decals and washes.
4. How do these compare with Vallejo or Citadel metallics?
   Pigment load is strong and coverage is smooth, comparable to Vallejo Model Color metallics, with slightly longer open time for blending.
5. What’s the best way to weather armor with this set?
   Sponge Gunmetal over Charcoal or Black, then glaze with Rust Oxide (from other Micro-Mark sets) for realism.
6. Can I use Silver Feather for ethereal effects?
   Yes—thin it and layer over darker bases for spectral, glowing highlights.
7. How do I use Electric Blue for magical effects?
   Layer over White for maximum brightness; glaze with thinned White or Pearl for glowing aura effects.
