Product Information

Full details

Citadel Base Paint Morghast Bone is designed for miniature hobbyists and Warhammer players who need a reliable, high-pigment foundation for their painting projects. Its primary benefit is the high coverage that allows for a smooth, uniform matte finish with a single application over various undercoats, though users must remember to thin the paint slightly with water to avoid obscuring fine details on intricate models.

FAQs

Do I need to prime my model before using Morghast Bone?

Yes, for the best adhesion and longevity, always prime your miniature with a dedicated hobby primer before applying base paints.

Can I use this paint in an airbrush?

While it is formulated for brush application, it can be used in an airbrush if thinned sufficiently with a dedicated airbrush thinner.

Is this paint waterproof once dry?

It is water-resistant once fully cured, but it is recommended to seal your finished models with a clear varnish for long-term protection.

How long does it take to dry?

It typically dries to the touch within 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the application and ambient humidity.

Can I mix this with other colors?

Yes, Citadel Base paints can be mixed with other acrylic hobby paints to create custom colors or tones.

Troubleshooting

The paint appears clumpy or thick on the brush.

Add a tiny amount of water to your palette and mix with the paint until it reaches a consistency similar to melted ice cream.

The pigment has settled into a hard layer at the bottom.

Add a clean mixing ball to the pot and shake vigorously, or use a toothpick to manually stir the pigment back into the medium.

The paint dried inside the pot lid.

Carefully scrape away the dried paint from the rim to ensure a flush seal, or transfer the paint to a new airtight dropper bottle.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent opacity reduces the need for multiple coats.
  • Dries to a clean, smooth matte finish.
  • Compatible with both black and white primers.
  • Easy to clean up with water.
  • Standardized 12ml size fits most hobby paint racks.

Cons

  • Can be too thick straight from the pot if not thinned.
  • The 12ml pot can dry out if the lid is not snapped shut tightly.
  • Requires agitation to mix settled pigments properly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To prepare your paint, always shake the pot vigorously for at least 30 seconds to ensure the pigment and medium are fully integrated. Use a clean synthetic or sable-hair brush to apply the paint to your primed miniature.

Compatibility: This paint is compatible with all other Citadel Color paints, including washes and technical paints. It adheres best to surfaces primed with Citadel spray primers.

Care: After each session, wipe the rim of the paint pot clean with a damp paper towel before closing the lid to ensure an airtight seal. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the paint from drying out prematurely.
