The Citadel Colour range, formulated by Games Workshop in conjunction with the industry's foremost manufacturer of artists' materials, sets the benchmark in terms of colour intensity and flow properties among paints used on miniatures. Primary consideration was given to the strength of colour and the draw quality -- both of which facilitate fine detail painting and blending -- and it is for these reasons that we can boast that Citadel Colours remain the finest miniature paints in the world.
Citadel Colours are used by many award-winning painters whose works adorn the pages of hobby and modelling magazines the world over.
Citadel Colour paints are non-toxic, water-based acrylic paints specially formulated to cover Citadel miniatures. These properties mean that you don't need any harsh cleaners or thinners for your paints -- water is all you'll need. The Citadel Colours have been crafted so that they are ideal for highlighting and shading miniatures, as the range includes lighter and darker shades of pretty much all the colours.
We stock three types of Citadel brush on paint:
Foundation - designed to provide great coverage, creating a solid block of colour with one application over any undercoat (prefix CFP).
Colour paint - formulated especially for painting plastic and metal models (prefix CIT).
Colour wash - unique flow properties which means they are easy to control and will naturally run into recesses, shading your models (prefix CCW).
You can give your models added depth with ease, since each basecoat colour has a shading color and a highlight colour associated with it.
For example, if you want a strong green, you could use Goblin Green highlighted with Scorpion Green and shaded with Snot Green.
Please note that swatch and any Pantone references are as a guide only - colours can vary between computer moniters and colour batches.
