Paint Bundles — Buying Guide
Our paint bundles bring together carefully curated selections of paints, brushes, and essential tools at better value than buying individually. Whether you're setting up your first painting station for Warhammer miniatures, starting a scale modelling project, or looking for the perfect gift for a budding modeller, a paint bundle removes the guesswork and gets you painting immediately. Access Models has been supplying hobbyists since 1980 and our bundles are assembled with genuine expertise.
What to Look for in a Paint Bundle
A good starter paint bundle should include: a primer (spray or brush-on), a selection of base colours appropriate to your subject, at least one shade/wash for depth, and a varnish to protect your work. Brush selection matters — better brushes in a bundle usually mean a size 1 for base coating, a size 0 for detailing, and possibly a dry brush for weathering effects.
Bundles by Subject
Warhammer/Miniature Painting Bundles: Include Citadel or Vallejo paints suited to popular faction colour schemes. Scale Modelling Bundles: Typically include Tamiya or Vallejo acrylics, Tamiya cement, and essential tools. Model Railway Bundles: Weathering colours, scenic materials, and track-appropriate tools. Browse our individual paints and tools range to supplement any bundle.
Gift-Ready Options
Paint bundles make excellent gifts for hobbyists of all levels — a thoughtfully assembled bundle shows consideration and delivers genuine value. If you're buying for someone specific, check their existing collection and aim to complement what they already have.
Paint Bundle FAQs
- Are paint bundles good value compared to buying individually?
- Yes — our paint bundles are priced to offer a saving versus purchasing the individual items separately. They're also curated to ensure the paints work well together as a system, which is harder to guarantee when selecting individual pots without experience.
- What's included in a typical paint bundle?
- Contents vary by bundle, but a typical starter bundle includes: 5-10 acrylic paints, a primer, one or two shade/wash colours, a selection of brushes, and sometimes basic tools like a palette or mixing medium. Full contents are listed in each product description.
- Which paint bundle is best for Warhammer beginners?
- Look for a Citadel or Vallejo Game Colour starter bundle that includes base colours, a shade wash (Nuln Oil is the most useful first wash), and a primer. Bundles designed around specific factions (e.g. Space Marine, Stormcast) provide the exact colours needed for that army.
- Can I buy a paint bundle as a gift?
- Absolutely — paint bundles make thoughtful, genuinely useful gifts for hobbyists. If you know the recipient's faction or subject matter, try to match the bundle contents accordingly. If in doubt, a general starter bundle with core colours is universally applicable.
- Do the paints in bundles expire?
- Acrylic paints have a long shelf life — typically 5+ years if stored correctly (tightly sealed, away from extreme temperatures). Dropper bottle formats (Vallejo) last particularly well. If a paint has thickened over time, it can often be revived with a few drops of water or acrylic thinner.
