    Does anyone do a final coat to protect their figures? If so what type of paint do you use? I’ve noticed the paint can get damaged pretty easily after a figure is done.

      Varnish. Citadel, Army Painter, and all the other hobby brands make their own.

      I personally use Mr. Super Clear matte. It’s a little harder to find or more expensive, but it goes on absolutely matte which I have had problems with in the past with other brands. If I need parts of the mini to shine, I will brush on Vallejo glossy varnish afterwards where needed.
