Can I use this paint with an airbrush?

What is the best base color to use under Screaming Skull?
Darker bone colors like Zandri Dust are the recommended base to allow the Screaming Skull highlight to pop.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before use, give the 12ml pot a thorough shake to ensure the pigments are properly mixed. Always use a clean brush and apply thin layers rather than one thick glob to maintain fine detail. This paint is fully compatible with all other Warhammer acrylic range products. To care for your paint, ensure the lid snaps shut firmly after every use to prevent the acrylic binder from drying out. If the paint becomes too thick, you can add a single drop of distilled water or a dedicated acrylic medium to restore its flow, but avoid over-thinning as it will lose its coverage properties.
