The Citadel Paint System

Citadel’s structured paint system makes it easy for painters of all skill levels to achieve professional results.

Base Paints – Strong Foundations

High‑pigment formulas designed for solid, opaque coverage. Perfect for armour, cloth, skin, and weapons. Popular colours include Macragge Blue, Mephiston Red, Leadbelcher, and Wraithbone.

Layer Paints – Depth & Detail

Thinner, more translucent paints ideal for highlights, mid‑tones, and smooth transitions. Fan favourites include Calgar Blue, Kislev Flesh, Auric Armour Gold, and Warpstone Glow.

Shade Paints – Instant Definition

Legendary washes like Nuln Oil, Agrax Earthshade, and Reikland Fleshshade flow into recesses to create natural shadows and dramatic depth with minimal effort.

Contrast Paints – Fast, Effective, Beautiful

Designed to base, shade, and highlight in one coat. Perfect for beginners, speed‑painters, and textured surfaces. Top picks include Black Templar, Blood Angels Red, Skeleton Horde, and Leviadon Blue.

Dry & Technical Paints – Texture & Effects

Dry paints like Necron Compound and Tyrant Skull make edge highlights effortless, while Technical paints such as Blood for the Blood God, Typhus Corrosion, and Martian Ironearth add cinematic realism.
