Army Painter to Scale75 Fantasy & Games Paint Converter
Army Painter's broad Warpaints catalogue collapses onto Fantasy & Games' 48 colours, so expect several Warpaints to share an equivalent. The closest matches cluster where you would expect: flesh, leather, cloth and greenskin.
Our Army Painter to Scale75 Fantasy & Games converter maps every Army Painter paint to its closest Scale75 Fantasy & Games equivalent. Fantasy & Games is a focused 48-colour range built for fantasy subjects. Both Warpaints and the newer Fanatic reformulation are included, covering the hobby staples in dropper bottles. Rather than guessing from colour families, the tool measures the distance between hex values and sorts the results so the closest available option always comes first.
All 389 Army Painter paints in our database are measured against 48 Scale75 Fantasy & Games colours. 26 land within a very close match (a colour distance of 12 or less) and 99 sit beyond 40, which are the ones worth testing on a palette before you commit. The median distance across the range is 29.8.
