Paint With Us at San Diego Comic-Con 2026

Paint With Us at San Diego Comic-Con 2026

San Diego Comic-Con is the kind of place where every turn brings something new to discover. One minute you're admiring incredible cosplay, the next you're picking up a new comic, scoring exclusive collectibles, or wandering into a hobby you didn't know you needed.

If miniature painting is on that list, we'd love to help.

From July 23-26, you'll find The Army Painter at Booth #1534 in the San Diego Convention Center with paints, brushes, hobby tools, and a team ready to help you with all your mini painting questions.

 

Get Hands-On with the Hobby

Miniature painting is best experienced with a brush in your hand, not by reading the back of a paint bottle.

Throughout the weekend, we'll be running hands-on demos at the booth, answering hobby questions, and offering one-on-one painting guidance. Whether you're trying to paint your very first miniature or looking to pick up a few new tricks for your next project, we're always happy to talk hobby. And if something catches your eye? We'll have our products available for purchase throughout the convention, so you can head home ready for your next painting session.

You'll also be able to pick up the latest colours in our expanding Speedpaint Markers range, alongside our new hobby brushes and Thin Plastic Glue!

 

Keep the Hobby Going

Our booth isn't the only place you'll find us during Comic-Con. We're the main programme sponsor for miniature painting classes on the Mezzanine level of the convention centre.

Find The Army Painter Factory Team members Jake "Oz" Krajeski and Phil Hall, aka The Glacial Geek, hosting Hobby Classes and the Paint & Take throughout the event. These spaces will give attendees an opportunity to sit down away from the crowds, paint, learn something new, and spend time enjoying the creative side of the hobby.

Bonus: you can visit our booth afterwards to pick up any paints or brushes you liked using.

All activities are free with your San Diego Comic-Con badge. Visit the Mezzanine area, room 17B to sign up for the Paint & Take and view the full schedule of classes.

 

Make Booth #1534 Part of Your Comic-Con Adventure

Comic-Con weekends always seem to fly by, and there's never quite enough time to see everything on your list. So make sure Booth #1534 is one of your stops.

Come and try some paints. Test out the latest hobby tools. Pick up a few painting tips. Join us for a class or the Paint & Take. Or simply stop by for a chat about miniatures with fellow hobbyists. We'd love to hear about what you're painting and playing.

We look forward to seeing you in San Diego. Happy hobbying!
