The Army Painter Keep You Going Longer With New Wet Palette

September 24, 2019 by brennon

The Army Painter are helping you in the fight to tackle that mountain of plastic with a Wet Palette which is going to be available in December of this year.

So, the palette comes with two pieces of hydro foam and fifty hydro sheets which give you plenty of sessions worth of painting goodness. For those not in the know about wet palettes, their key use is to keep your paint wet for longer to cut down on the amount you need to use and help in the process of blending and mixing too.

Here's the technical stuff...

As well as the use as a wet palette the kit also comes with space for you to store up to six wargamer brushes or ten hobby brushes from The Army Painter range too. I don't really use wet palettes but when I have it has been quite a nice addition to the hobby arsenal. It meant that I could power through a lot more models at the RuneWars Hobby Weekend for sure!

Will you be adding this wet palette to your collection?

At first I was all like “yeah, cool” but I am missing a price on “hydro sheet refills” and having the brushes inside the wet pallet seems wrong. If I close the lid for a day or two won’t the brush handles start to crack?

Yeah, it’d be a bad idea to put brushes inside when the palette is wet. But, it’s a handy transport option when dry — you probably won’t want to transport the palette wet anyway.

I have made my own wet pallette. But have been very tempted with getting a redgrass one but couldn’t justify the price. So if this is a “good” price im interested.

They were saying on their Facebook page in some of the comments that the foam isnt mould resistant

It is according to AP…

“The Hydrofoam was made using mould-resistant materials and treatments, much like you’d find from other, more expensive, products.”

Very nice looks way neater than my sandwich container.

I’m of the opinion that if you paint even semi-regularly, and you’re not using a wet palette, you’re doing it wrong. It’s a massive time and paint saver and helps you stick to the right colours and colour palette for your projects. And if you are a beginner and struggling with thinning the paint (we all were), wet palette helps. You can quickly mix to few different consistencies and you start having the feel of “right” consistency with your brush on the palette, as opposed to doing that on the model. One with airtight lid, DIY or one of these… Read more »

I dont use a wet palette and never really found the need to. Painting smaller scales I use very small quantities of paint and never need to mix paints together. I see the bonus if your using large amounts of paint and trying to paint a few figures over several days

I’ve tried wet pallets and just don’t find enough benefits for my work patterns. I use a glass work surface as a glue up area and as my paint pallet. When done or need to clean up I just scrape down the glass. My work flow functions for me and a wet pallet just doesn’t add enough to change that flow.
