Full details
Citadel Technical Paint in Valhallan Blizzard is an essential tool for miniature hobbyists and tabletop gamers looking to add realistic, icy-textured landscapes to their model bases. Designed to offer a swift, effective solution, this water-based acrylic paint allows users to create stunning snow effects with minimal effort.

FAQs
Can I use this on metal miniatures?
Yes, Valhallan Blizzard is compatible with metal, plastic, and resin surfaces.
Is it safe to use indoors?
Yes, it is a non-toxic, water-based acrylic paint, though adequate ventilation is always recommended.
Does it need a varnish?
While it can be varnished, it is not strictly necessary as the paint is designed to be durable on its own.
How long does it take to dry?
Drying times vary based on the thickness of the application, but typically it will be dry to the touch within a few hours.
Can I mix this with other Citadel paints?
It is generally recommended to use it as-is for the best texture effect, rather than mixing it with standard paints.
Troubleshooting
The paint is too thick to spread evenly.
Add a few drops of water to the jar and mix gently to restore the desired consistency.
The texture is uneven or clumpy.
Use a sculpting tool or a flat brush to spread and flatten the paste before it begins to cure.
Paint has dried out inside the jar.
Check that the lid was sealed tightly; unfortunately, if completely cured, the product may need to be replaced.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before use, ensure your miniature base is free of dust or debris. Since this is a water-based product, you do not need harsh solvents; standard hobby brushes are sufficient. When applying, use an old or dedicated texture brush, as the abrasive microbeads can wear down high-quality sable brushes over time. After use, ensure the jar lid is tightened securely to prevent the paste from drying out. If the consistency becomes too thick, a tiny amount of clean water can be mixed in to restore workability.
