Dont miss the new PRO Acryl Weathering Pigments from Monument Hobbies, which deliver hyper-matte realism that ties your models to their environment.
If your minis look great but still feel a little too clean, Monument Hobbies just dropped the fix. The new PRO Acryl Weathering Pigments line is officially here, and it is built for painters who want their models to look like they actually exist in the worlds we imagine.
These are raw pigments designed to add realistic texture and a hyper-matte finish without clogging detail. So, whether you’re weathering tanks, infantry, terrain, or bases, this release gives any hobbyist the tools to push realism without overcomplicating the process.
Let’s break down why weathering pigments matter, what’s in the bundle, and how each color earns its spot on the painting desk.
Why Use Weathering Pigments and What Are They For
Weathering pigments are one of the easiest ways to make a model feel grounded in its environment. Unlike standard acrylic paints, raw pigments sit on the surface and behave like real dirt, dust, soot, or rust. That is why they look so convincing when applied lightly.
PRO Acryl Weathering Pigments are designed to be simple and flexible. You can dust them straight onto a model or base with a normal paintbrush, blend colors together, or mix them with varnishes and mediums to create mud, grime, and textured buildup. Once you like the look, a light coat of matte varnish locks everything in place.
They shine in spots where paint alone struggles. Engine vents, weapon muzzles, boots, cloak hems, tracks, rubble, and basing materials all benefit from the natural, uneven finish that pigments create. Used sparingly, they add depth without hiding sculpted detail, which is exactly what you want.

The PRO Acryl Weathering Pigment Bundle includes all eight colors in the range, making it the best starting point if you want full flexibility. Each bottle contains thirty-seven milliliters of pigment, which goes a very long way since pigments are used in small amounts.
The bundle covers soot, dust, rust, earth tones, and oxidized effects, letting you mix and match depending on the environment you are building. Desert worlds, industrial battlefields, swampy kill zones, and war-torn cities are all covered here.
