Base. Layer. Shade. Bring Your Models to Life.

Painting miniatures is one of the most rewarding parts of the tabletop hobby — the moment a freshly primed model transforms into a finished, battle-ready warrior is one that never gets old, whether it's your first or your five hundredth. The right paints make all the difference, and at Boreal Gaming we carry a curated selection of miniature paints, primers, and finishing products from the brands that hobbyists trust most. From first-time painters picking up a starter set to experienced hobbyists chasing a competition-level finish, our Niagara location stocks the tools to take your models from the sprue to the table.

Our miniature paint range spans the industry's leading brands and the full spectrum of paint types the hobby demands. Citadel paints from Games Workshop remain the benchmark for Warhammer hobbyists, with Base paints for solid coverage, Layer paints for highlights and refinement, Shade washes for instant depth and shadow, and Contrast paints for striking results in a single coat. Vallejo's Model Colour and Game Colour ranges offer exceptional pigment quality and are a favourite among painters who work with an airbrush or want a wider palette of precise, fine-detail shades. Army Painter rounds out the range with accessible paint sets, Quickshade washes, and their popular Speedpaint line for hobbyists who want strong results without a heavy time investment. Alongside individual paint pots we carry spray primers and brush-on primers to get your models prepped correctly from the start, plus varnishes and sealers to protect your finished work.

Miniature paints sit at the intersection of every hobby discipline we support — whether you're working through a Warhammer 40,000 army, building out an Age of Sigmar warband, painting Kill Team operatives, or finishing the miniatures from your latest RPG or dungeon-crawler, the right paint makes the whole hobby click. Stop into our Niagara location to browse the range in person, or shop online with local pickup available — and if you're not sure where to start, our team is happy to point you toward the right primer, palette, and technique for your first project.
