The Vallejo Xpress Color Starter Set is a complete introduction kit for miniature painting. This carefully assembled set includes everything needed to start painting gaming miniatures right away. Thanks to the unique properties of Xpress Color paints, you can achieve impressive results quickly, even if you are new to the hobby.
Many miniature painters appreciate Xpress Color paints for their ease of use and the speed at which shadows and highlights appear automatically. The paint naturally flows into the recesses of the model, creating depth and contrast without requiring complex painting techniques.
Automatic shadows and highlights
Xpress Color paints are specially formulated to simplify the painting process. Their composition allows the paint to flow naturally across the miniature’s surface. Pigment collects in deeper areas, creating strong shadows, while raised surfaces remain lighter, producing natural highlights.
This behaviour creates smooth colour transitions and convincing depth with minimal effort. As a result, these paints are popular among both beginners and experienced miniature painters who want to paint entire armies quickly.
Apply directly over a white primer
Xpress Color paints are designed to be applied directly over miniatures primed in white or very light tones. In most cases, there is no need for thinning or mixing. By applying a smooth layer, the paint automatically creates shading and highlights that enhance the sculpted details of the miniature.
The matte finish helps preserve the visibility of textures and fine sculpt details, ensuring that armor plates, fabrics, and skin textures remain clearly defined.

In addition to a selection of 12 Xpress Color paints, the box includes an exclusive miniature, a quality synthetic brush, and a detailed illustrated guide.
