Full details
Citadel Base Paint - Runelord Brass is an essential tool for miniature painters looking to achieve a solid, professional foundation for their Warhammer models. Designed for both beginners and experienced hobbyists, this high-pigment acrylic paint ensures smooth, uniform coverage on plastic, metal, and resin surfaces. While it offers excellent opacity, users should note that as a base coat, it requires secondary shading or highlighting techniques to bring out the full depth and metallic sheen of the miniature.

FAQs
Does Runelord Brass need a primer?
Yes, for optimal adhesion and durability, it is recommended to apply this paint over a dedicated hobby primer.
Can this be used with an airbrush?
Yes, but you will need to thin it significantly with an airbrush thinner to prevent clogging the nozzle.
Is this paint toxic?
No, it is a non-toxic water-based acrylic paint, though it should still be kept out of eyes and not ingested.
How do I clean my brushes after use?
Clean your brushes immediately with clean water and a mild soap if necessary to prevent the acrylic from drying in the bristles.
Is this a metallic paint?
Yes, Runelord Brass contains metallic pigments to provide a realistic brass or bronze appearance.
Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick or streaky during application.
Add a few drops of water to your palette and mix with the paint until it reaches a smooth, milk-like consistency.
Pigment separation in the pot.
Shake the pot thoroughly for at least 30 seconds; using a dedicated paint agitator or a small stainless steel ball bearing can help.
Paint is drying out inside the pot.
Ensure the rim of the pot is clean before closing; wipe away any dried residue that prevents an airtight seal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure your miniature is primed with a quality hobby primer. Shake the pot vigorously before use to ensure the metallic pigments are evenly suspended in the medium.
Compatibility: This paint is water-based and compatible with the entire Citadel range of washes, layers, and glazes.
Care Instructions: Always close the lid firmly until it clicks to prevent the acrylic medium from evaporating. If the paint begins to thicken over time, add a tiny drop of airbrush thinner or clean water to restore the consistency. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
