Historical: WWII Soviet Union paint set

Warpaints Historical – British 8th Army WWII Paint Set

This paint set for historical miniatures and wargaming is designed to recreate the uniforms, equipment, and vehicles used by British and Commonwealth forces during the North African campaign of World War II.
The colours are inspired by khaki drill uniforms, desert-adapted gear, and weathered materials used from Egypt to Tunisia.
For hobbyists painting historical armies, dioramas, or WWII miniatures, this set provides a practical and carefully selected palette tailored for desert warfare.

The set includes 10 paints in total, featuring 9 Warpaints Fanatic acrylics and 1 wash. Several of the colours are exclusive to the Warpaints Historical range. Developed with historical accuracy in mind and approved by WWII historian Dr. Stephen Bull, Warpaints Historical is the world’s first historian-approved miniature paint range.

The selected tones make it easier to create realistic uniforms, equipment, and battlefield details with natural shading and contrast suited for desert environments and worn campaign gear.
