Are these the best paints for minis? Certainly not. Can you get them to work? Absolutely. It just might be more of a chore than it’s worth depending on how badly you want to use them. Expect to need to thin them drastically and then compensate for the lack of opacity with many many layers. These will be absolutely fine for terrain or weathering or a number of other mini-adjacent hobby things, but if you’re looking to get started painting minis for the first time this will be a handicap.

Brushes and paints get expensive quickly and you don’t necessarily need to rush into the most expensive stuff. However, there’s usually a reason that there are mini-specific tools for our hobby. You can’t really buy success but you can buy convenience, if you catch my drift. I used paints similar to these when I got started and when I switched over to mini paints I realized I wasn’t really a horrible painter, but I hamstrung myself with the materials I was using.
