Product Information

Full details

Citadel Base Paint in Death Guard Green is designed for miniature painters and hobbyists looking to achieve a professional, opaque foundation for their Warhammer figures. Its primary benefit is a high-pigment formula that provides an excellent, solid matte finish over any undercoat in just one layer, though users should be careful to thin the paint slightly with water to prevent obscuring fine sculpted details.

FAQs

Do I need to prime my miniature before using Death Guard Green?

Yes, for the best adhesion and finish, you should always apply a primer to your miniature before using any Citadel Base paint.

Can I use this paint in an airbrush?

While it is formulated for brush use, it can be airbrushed if thinned significantly with an airbrush thinner.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

It typically dries to the touch within 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the humidity of your workspace.

Can I mix this with other Citadel paints?

Yes, Citadel acrylic paints are designed to be fully mixable with each other.

How do I store the paint to prevent it from drying out?

Store in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is firmly pressed closed until you hear a 'snap' sound.

Troubleshooting

Paint is clumpy or separated in the pot

Shake the pot for 30-60 seconds or use a dedicated hobby paint stirrer to re-incorporate the pigments.

Paint finish looks chalky or grainy

This often occurs due to over-thinning with tap water or painting in an environment that is too hot or dry. Try using clean distilled water.

Paint is obscuring small details on the miniature

You are applying too much paint at once. Apply two thin coats instead of one thick coat.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent opacity over both black and white primers
  • Easy to clean up with water
  • Dries quickly to a professional matte finish
  • Works on multiple material types including resin and plastic

Cons

  • Requires thinning to avoid thick coats that hide details
  • 12ml pot can dry out if the lid is not fully snapped shut
  • May require agitation (shaking) to mix pigment after sitting

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure your miniature is free of dust and oil. Always shake the pot vigorously before opening to ensure the pigment and medium are properly blended.

  • Compatibility: Compatible with all Citadel Layer, Shade, and Technical paints. Can be used over any standard hobby primer.
  • Care: Always wipe excess paint from the rim of the pot before closing the lid to ensure an airtight seal. If the paint begins to thicken over time, add a very small amount of distilled water or a dedicated acrylic medium to restore its flow.
