Army Painter launches Infinity Nomads and Yu Jing faction paint sets

The Army Painter rolled out two official Infinity faction paint box sets on Jan 13, 2026, developed in partnership with Corvus Belli to streamline faction-accurate painting. The Infinity Nomads Paint Set and the Infinity Yu Jing Paint Set each pack a curated palette and printed step-by-step guides designed to get whole squadrons tabletop-ready without a colour scavenger hunt.

Each box contains 10 paints drawn from The Army Painter’s Warpaints Fanatic and Speedpaint ranges. The blends of Fanatic and Speedpaint provide options for both detailed layering and rapid basecoating, so painters can block in base tones quickly then switch to more refined work where needed. The sets also include three exclusive Warpaints Fanatic colours created for these releases: Bakunin Neon for Nomads, and Chung Kuo Skin plus Frontline Drab for Yu Jing. Both boxes come with a small paramedic miniature exclusive to that set, adding an easy conversion or display piece that matches the included palette.

The Army Painter said the kits were developed hand-in-hand with Infinity artists to ensure faithful faction schemes. Printed painting pamphlets in each box walk through a step-by-step approach tailored to the chosen colours, and video guides will follow on The Army Painter’s YouTube channel for painters who prefer visual instruction. For players who need a consistent roster appearance for club nights, campaign tables, or tournament lists, the combination of curated pigments and guided workflows speeds the path from primed models to finished units.

Practical value is clear: instead of hunting down individual bottles or guessing mixes, painters get a ready-made toolbox that aligns with Corvus Belli’s canonical colour language. Speedpaints reduce basecoat time for whole units, while Fanatic colours cover shading and highlights where finesse matters. The inclusion of exclusive Fanatic shades gives both Nomads and Yu Jing distinct tones not available in standard ranges, which helps avoid mismatched kits across a painted army.

For community painters dealing with GAS and overflowing paint racks, these boxes offer a tidy, faction-focused solution that still leaves room for freehand and kitbashing. Expect the boxed minis and pamphlets to be useful learning tools for newcomers and time-savers for veteran painters prepping multiple figures. Watch for the forthcoming video guides to supplement printed instructions and check local stockists and online stores for availability.
