Steamforged Games Announce Kickstarter For P3 Paints

After announcing the acquisition of the Iron Kingdom IP from Privateer Press, Steamforged Games have offered details on the long-awaited return of the P3 Paints line.

Originally launched in 2006 as Formula P3, the paints were known for their rich pigmentation and ease of control for painting. The consistency of the paints made them ideal for beginners and advanced painters, allowing hobbyists to achieve professional results.

Mat Hart, founder and creative director of Steamforged Games, stated:

“P3 paints were originally formulated to stay wet for longer, allowing painters to ‘wet blend’ colours more smoothly on models. In the 18 years since the original formula was launched, paint technology has evolved significantly, as have the expectations of a painting audience that’s blessed with plenty of options.

“In creating the new P3 range, it was essential we preserve the original benefits that gave P3 its stellar reputation, while incorporating modern advancements to bring the paint up to date.

“During development of the new P3 formula, we’ve pushed pigment load as far as possible to give rich, vibrant colours that pop, without losing the classic consistency and feel. Unlike many modern paint ranges, we’ve fine tuned the finish to give a slight satin effect. This ensures vibrant colour saturation as well as providing the ideal surface for washing, layering, glazing and, of course, wet blending, while also providing better protection than matte
finishes.”

Steamforged Games have opted to take the new range to Kickstarter on September 10, 2024. The Kickstarter will allow supports to unlock exclusive colors, as well as colors that have never been a part of the range previously. The range will be released to retail at a later date.
