Are you spending your hobby budget wisely? Not all tools are created equal, and when it comes to miniature painting, Warhammer 40K, and tabletop gaming, some things are worth the splurge, while others… not so much. In this video, we’re breaking down 3 tools you should NEVER go cheap on, 3 that you totally can, and 2 that are stuck somewhere in between!

Why does this matter? Well, ever tried cutting sprues with dull clippers? Or painting with cheap craft paint that turns your mini into a streaky mess? Yeah… let’s avoid that. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned painter, knowing where to invest and where to save will help you get the best results without draining your wallet.

Let’s dive into the must-haves, maybes, and budget-friendly winners so you can build your best hobby setup!

✅ 3 Tools You CAN’T Go Cheap On:

Clippers – Cheap ones leave ugly stress marks and rough cuts. Get good flush cutters and thank me later.
Paints – Your entire hobby is based on painting… don’t ruin it with low-quality, chalky craft paint.
Lighting – If you can’t see your details properly, your paint job suffers. A good lamp = a game-changer.

✅ Weird In-Between Tools – Cheap or Expensive?

Brushes – You don’t have to buy $30 brushes, but don’t expect dollar store ones to last.
Airbrushes – A mid-range airbrush is the sweet spot; don’t go bottom-of-the-barrel cheap.
Storage Solutions – You don’t need fancy organizers; a $15 bin from Home Depot works fine!

✅ 3 Tools You CAN Go Cheap On:

Cutting Mats – It’s a flat surface that stops you from ruining your table. No need to overpay.
Basing Materials – Sand, gravel, and flock don’t need a premium price tag. Bulk-buy or DIY!
Wet Palettes – You don’t need an expensive one; a Tupperware lid and parchment paper work great.
