Squidmar Vallejo: The Dark Future Paint Set

Squidmar Miniatures and Vallejo paints – could there be a better combination? We don’t think there is and are very pleased to announce that Emil and Lukas have carefully curated three paint sets from the new Vallejo range.

Each paint from each set has been specially selected for how often we in the Squidmar studio use them to paint the miniatures for our videos. This means that when you open the box, you’ll have the exact paints we use in our videos, so if you want to replicate a technique, style or colour scheme, you’ve got the exact paint straight away. As these are our go-to paints, you can rest assured we’ll keep using them for as long as we’re making videos too.

We’ve broken these sets up into three combinations – Essentials, Dark Future and Fantasy

The Essentials set are our go-to paints that we use in nearly every project from world shattering titans to humble goblins. We often get asked which paints we’d suggest new hobbyists get and they’ve often been from various brands and that can be tricky for people in different countries or territories to get. The Essentials set solves that problem and is the set we’d recommend to every hobbyist whether you’re a grizzled painting veteran or someone ready to dive into your first project. The Dark Future set combines our love of science fiction and building atmosphere on our miniatures. This set can be used for dramatic shadows, non-metallic metals, night-time atmospheres or just to enhance colours you’ve already used. The Fantasy set gives you a palette of greens, oranges and deep reds that can complement any fantastical scene or miniature. Each set is versatile enough to be a colour scheme on its own but when used in combination with the other sets, you’ll have all you need to paint something truly breath-taking, and we can’t wait to see what you do with them.

What you get in the box:

• 12 Hobby colors
• 1 Exclusive 32 mm miniature from our Sona universe

Each box also comes with a bespoke QR code that will take you directly a tutorial that uses those paints so you can see how we use them in the studio, what you can do with them on your minis and also where you can potentially use them for other techniques or styles. With Vallejo’s new formulation of acrylic hobby paints, we are confident that you’ll have just as much fun painting as we do each week and have an easier time achieving those awesome techniques that can be shown off in an epic grand reveal of your own.
