The painting handle that’s been out of stock is finally back! Games Workshop has a new inventory of these bad boys so go get yours now and start painting.
Currently, the new painting handle will only hold standard 28mm-40mm miniatures for painting. If you missed it the first time around we have a quick review for you of this product to give you an idea of what you can expect.
Hobbyists Rejoice: Citadel Painting Handle is Back!
The Painting Handle retails for $8 and beginning hobbyists will find this tool quite handy. Now, fair warning, it is quite small and if you have big hands, this accessory may not be for you. The handle portion is attached to the clamp mechanism on top with a 1/8 screw. This is a standard screw size for most camera stands.
So, there are options to use the clamp bit on another stand altogether. The clamp mechanism itself can hold miniatures up to 40mm base size. At the 40mm range, Rob did notice that the clamps themselves were bowing out a bit.
Citadel Painting Handle
Making it much, much easier to hold your miniatures securely while painting them, allowing you to find the perfect angle with which to access the fiddly bits while avoiding the inevitable hand cramps that come when holding a base for a long time, the Citadel Painting handle has been designed for painters, by painters.
If features a spring-loaded clamp mechanism, which locks tightly onto 25mm, 32mm and 40mm round bases, as well as fitting 60x35mm oval bases.
Grasping the sturdy plastic handle rather than the base or miniature you’re painting means fewer smudgey mistakes from careless fingers and will help you improve your painting all round!
