	** '''Metallics:''' Can be based of water or alcohol, they all have metallic flakes in them to make the paint shiny (Yep, Retributor Armour isn't made of real gold). you should probably use cheaper brushes for these as the flakes can actually cut/wear the bristles of the brush. Remember to keep a different pot of water for these, as the flakes can contaminate your other paints.

			** '''Contrast:''' Made primarily by Citadel and The Army Painter. The marriage of acrylic paint and the age-old technique of washing, resulting in models that can be painted in a quarter of the time it would normally take. Neither company's contrast paint should be considered lickable as a result of the paint reactivating when made damp.

	** Kolinsky Sable: Considered the best material to make brushes out of, expensive as fuck, but lasts longer and generally "feels" better to use. GW's own artificer layer brushes are supposedly made of this. Other Golden Demon winners use only these, but they're a bit crazy.		** Kolinsky Sable: Considered the best material to make brushes out of, expensive as fuck, but lasts longer and generally "feels" better to use.

	* Spray Gun: A flamethrower for paint! Good for quickly painting one-color base coats onto a bunch of minis, or one big mini. Use with a venting fume hood when indoors. GW's Flamer spray gun is sadly discontinued, presumably for being a bit crap.		* Spray Gun: A flamethrower for paint!

	** Airbrush: A spray gun but actually useful, require more maintenance and care, and a good one is generally much ''much'' more expensive, requires an air compressor to use. Is far more precise and versatile, and can be used to create all sorts of blends and effects on models, like the blended power sword look commonly seen in White Dwarf and Golden Demon. Also, don't let anyone tell you otherwise, it isn't "cheating" to use one.		** Airbrush: A spray gun but actually useful, require more maintenance and care, and a good one is generally much ''much'' more expensive, requires an air compressor to use.

	* Tooth Brush: A clever way to get randomized textures. Sliding your thumb across its paint-filled bristles will throw specks of paint at your model, perfect for dirt spray or gore! Its also great for ''stripping'' your models, helps get that paint off them after a good soaking.		* Tooth Brush: A clever way to get randomized textures.

	Many of the truly advanced techniques in miniature painting are known not by wargamers or RPG fans, but by the veterans of miniature collecting: Scale Vehicle Replica nerds, Gunpla geeks, and Model Railroading "enthusiasts". Seeking out their knowledge will help you make your models look more realistic: painting rust effects, half-exposed metal, and texturing a surface to make it not resemble plastic. These are only a few of the secrets you will unlock by ''talking to your fellow nerd,'' you nerd.

	Remember that making a model look complete doesn't just require paints. Adding flare to your ~~base~~ will really kick your ~~model~~ up a notch. The best showpiece models have things like fake grass, fake mud, fake ice, fake rocks, real rocks, and other such "realistic" touches. Remember that your soldiers need something to stand on if they want to fight!		Remember that making a model look complete doesn't just require paints.

They come in endless sizes, from endless manufacturers, and have endless uses. Important note, you don't need "better" or more expensive brushes to be good at painting, some [[Golden Demon]] winners basically use only cheap 20 for $10 synthetic brush packs and still create beautiful works, remember, experience is the most important factor in painting.
