FAQs

Is this just for one type of miniature, or does it work for any game?

This guide is universal. Every technique and color recipe works on any tabletop or fantasy miniature, regardless of which universe or game system you collect

I've never painted a miniature before. Is this too advanced for me?

Not at all — it's built for complete beginners. We start with materials, basic preparation, and the simplest techniques before moving into more advanced methods. No prior experience needed

What exactly do I receive after I buy?

Three PDF guides delivered instantly: the main 39-page Paint Like A Pro guide, plus two free bonus guides included with your purchase.

How do I get the guide after I purchase?

It's delivered straight to your email within minutes of checkout. No shipping, no waiting — open it on any device right away

What format is the guide in, and what do I need to open it?

It's a standard PDF. You can open it on a phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop with any free PDF reader, and print it if you'd rather have a physical copy on your desk

Do I need expensive tools or an airbrush to use this guide?

No. Every technique in the guide is designed to work with a regular brush and basic materials. Airbrush tips are included for those who have one, but it's never required.

Are the paint recommendations tied to one specific brand?

The guide uses one major brand as the primary reference since it's the most widely available, but every section includes affordable alternative brands and where to find them

Will this actually help me finish my miniatures, or is it just theory?

The guide is built around finishing — including a dedicated speed painting system and a 12-week plan specifically designed to get unpainted miniatures off your shelf and onto the table.

Can I use this on a phone, or do I need to print it?

Both work. The guide is fully readable on mobile, with clickable links that work on any device, but it's also formatted cleanly for printing if you prefer a physical reference.

 
 

Your minis are still grey. Aren't they?

Most painters buy the models. Few ever finish them. Not because of talent — because nobody gave them the right system. This guide changes that on day one.

 
 

If you go through the guide, apply the techniques, and feel it wasn't worth it — reach out within 90 days and we'll make it right. No long forms, no hoops. Just email us at contact@greytide.store and we'll sort it out personally.

 
 

Stop watching 50 tutorials. Start finishing armies.

    Had a box of marines sitting on my shelf for two years. Finally got through them last weekend using the SlapChop method. Bases done, everything

    Alex T.

  • ★★★★★

    My girlfriend and I painted our first tank together following the guide step by step. Took us a Saturday afternoon. Didn't think we'd actually finish it

    Jordan M.

  • ★★★★★

    I'd been watching YouTube tutorials for months without actually picking up a brush. Having everything in one place made it easier to just start.

    Casey R.

  • ★★★★★

    The army recipes saved me a lot of time choosing colors. I just followed the Necron one and it came out exactly how I wanted.

    Marcus L.

  • ★★★★★

    Been painting on and off for a few years but never felt confident with washes. The section on that cleared up a lot of things I was doing wrong.

    Tyler B.

  • ★★★★★

    Painted my first Death Guard squad with this. The rust and weathering section was exactly what I needed — came out way more detailed than I expected.

    Sam K.

  • ★★★★★

    I kept buying minis and never painting them. Got through an entire Combat Patrol in about three weekends. First time I've ever finished a full set.

    Ryan D.

  • ★★★★★

    The basing section is something I always skipped before. Made a big difference to how the whole army looks on the table.

    Jamie H.

  • ★★★★★

    My partner bought this for me after I kept complaining about not knowing where to start. Finished my first miniature in one sitting.

    Chris W.

  • ★★★★★

    The edge highlighting section took me a few tries but once it clicked it made everything look cleaner. Worth going through it slowly.
