Understanding the Citadel Colour System
Citadel Colour paints are organised into a painting system that makes it easy to achieve great results even as a beginner:
- Base paints — thick, high-coverage paints for the first coat on your miniatures
- Shade paints — thin washes that flow into recesses to create depth and shadow (Nuln Oil is the most popular)
- Layer paints — thinner paints for building up highlights and detail
- Dry paints — specially formulated for drybrushing highlights (Dawnstone is a classic)
- Contrast paints — one-coat paints that shade and highlight simultaneously, perfect for fast results
- Technical paints — special effects like blood, rust, snow and texture
Getting Started with Citadel Paints
New to miniature painting? The best way to start is with the Citadel Base Paint Set and a pot of Nuln Oil shade. Base coat your miniature, apply a wash of Nuln Oil, then drybrush with a lighter colour — this simple three-step process produces great results even for complete beginners.
Pair your paints with the Warhammer 40,000 Paints and Tools Set which includes brushes, clippers and starter paints in one convenient box.
