Yes. Army Painter paint sets are especially helpful for beginners thanks to their curated color selections and included resources. Starter Sets typically feature core colors, a brush, and painting guide, allowing new hobbyists to jump right in without needing to pick individual bottles. The paints themselves are also designed for easy application and strong coverage.

Starter Sets usually include a range of essential acrylic paints (base colors, metallics, and washes), a standard brush, and sometimes a miniature or painting guide. Mega Paint Sets include 40+ bottles with a mix of Warpaints, metallics, washes, and effects, giving more experienced painters or collectors access to a full range of tools and colors in one box.

Some Army Painter sets focus on traditional Warpaints, while others are designed specifically around the Speedpaint line. There are even hybrid sets that combine Speedpaints, acrylics, and washes to offer a wider variety of options. Always check the set contents to see what’s included based on your painting style and needs.

Many Army Painter paint kits include free bonus items like brushes or guides and are priced lower per bottle than buying the paints one at a time. This makes them a smart option for hobbyists looking to build or refresh their paint collection affordably.
