Airbrushes are one of the most effective tools in the miniature painter’s arsenal. They can be used for a variety of purposes, from simply applying base coats to miniatures, to ensuring perfectly even paint-jobs over large surface areas, to specific effects, like color blending, masking, and even fine detail highlights. This guide will tell you the best airbrush for miniatures, whatever you want to use it for.
Many people assume that airbrushing is only for people who’ve already mastered painting miniatures with a paintbrush. That’s not the case. While using an airbrush is a different skill set, it’s not considerably more complicated. You can even use the same paints for miniatures that you already own, provided you thin them appropriately. But getting quality kit is really important – unsuitable airbrushes are deeply frustrating.
