About Game Color: Vallejo Game Color is a water-based acrylic range designed specifically for painting fantasy and wargame miniatures. Developed in collaboration with professional painter Angel Giraldez and reformulated for the current range, it is smooth, highly pigmented and opaque, applying cleanly over a primed surface without thinning in most cases, and behaving predictably when thinned with water or acrylic medium for glazing and layering. The dropper bottle dispenses paint accurately, reducing waste and making it easy to control exactly how much goes onto the palette.

Technical: Water-based acrylic. Shake well before use. Thin with water or acrylic medium as required. Cleans up with water. 17ml dropper bottle.
