Product Information
Full details
Citadel Base Paint in Deathworld Forest is an essential tool for hobbyists and miniature painters looking to achieve a solid, opaque foundation on their Warhammer figures. Designed for both beginners and veterans, this high-pigment acrylic paint provides excellent coverage on plastic, metal, and resin, allowing for a smooth matte finish in a single coat; however, users should be mindful that because it is a base paint, it is designed for opacity and coverage rather than the translucency required for subtle layering or glazing techniques.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best results, ensure your miniature is cleaned of mold lines and primed with a proper Citadel primer before application. Before opening the pot, give it a quick shake to ensure the pigment is evenly distributed. If the paint feels too thick, transfer a small amount to a wet palette and add a drop of water to reach the desired consistency. After each session, ensure the lid is snapped shut completely to prevent the acrylic from drying out inside the pot. Clean your brushes immediately after use with soap and water to maintain the integrity of the bristles.
