Product Information
Full details
Citadel Layer Paint in Warpstone Glow is designed for hobbyists and miniature painters looking to add vibrant, high-pigment green highlights to their tabletop models. Its primary benefit is a high-quality acrylic consistency that facilitates smooth layering and clean blending over base coats, making it an essential tool for achieving professional depth. One caveat is that because it is a layer paint with lower opacity than base paints, it requires a solid underlying base coat to achieve full coverage and color saturation.

FAQs
Do I need to prime my models before using this paint?
Yes, always prime your miniatures with a standard acrylic primer to ensure the paint adheres correctly to the surface.
Can I use this paint in an airbrush?
While it is formulated for brush painting, it can be airbrushed if thinned significantly with an airbrush thinner.
Is this paint waterproof?
Once fully cured, acrylic paint is water-resistant, though it is recommended to seal the model with a varnish for maximum protection.
How long does it take to dry?
Under normal conditions, it will be dry to the touch within 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the thickness of the application.
Can I mix this with other colors?
Yes, Citadel paints are highly mixable. You can blend this with other acrylic paints to create custom highlight tones.
Troubleshooting
Paint is clumping or looks thick
Add one or two drops of clean water or acrylic thinner to the pot and stir well with a toothpick.
Paint is not covering the model surface
Ensure a solid base coat is applied underneath; layer paints are translucent and rely on a base layer to provide coverage.
Paint dried out inside the pot
If completely hardened, the paint cannot be restored; prevent this by ensuring the lid snaps shut completely before storage.
