Frequently asked questions
What is the closest Army Painter equivalent to a TT Combat paint?

Are TT Combat and Army Painter paints compatible on the same miniature?
Yes. Both are water-based acrylics and can be layered over one another without any special preparation. Mixing brands on a single model is common practice; the main thing to watch is finish, since ranges vary in how matt they dry.
Why doesn’t every TT Combat paint have an exact Army Painter match?
The two ranges were developed independently, so exact matches are the exception rather than the rule. 2 of the 144 TT Combat paints here sit more than 40 colour-distance units from their nearest Army Painter option, which is why every result shows its score and hex swatch so you can judge the compromise yourself.
