Eighteen candles on the cake. Eighteen years of dips, paints, brushes, sprays, and more hobby hijinks than we can count. The Army Painter is officially 18 years old! While that might sound like the age where most people get serious, settle down, and grow up… well, that’s not really our style.
From the beginning, our goal has been simple: get more time for gaming and make the hobby more fun. Along the way, we’ve launched hundreds of bottles of paints, worked with incredible artists such as John Blanche, and developed new tools and accessories to help you grow in your hobby. Maybe most importantly, we’ve listened to you, our community, and grown because of your feedback.
So, for our 18th birthday, we thought we’d give you something no one asked for but you definitely want: outtakes! We’ve filmed a lot of videos over the years and that means bloopers. If you needed more proof that we don’t take ourselves too seriously, watch this video.

Eighteen Years Young
Warning: sappiness ahead.
What we’ve learned after nearly two decades is that the heart of The Army Painter isn’t paints, wet palettes, and brushes—it’s people. It’s the community. You’ve helped us grow and improve and reminded us that the hobby is about fun and connection.
As we celebrate our birthday, we want to raise a brush to every painter who has spent time with us—whether you’ve been here since year one or just picked up your first bottle of Speedpaint. You’ve made these 18 years possible, and you’re the reason we’re excited for the next 18.
