Product Information
Full details
The Warhammer Layer Paint in Russ Grey is designed for miniature painters looking to add depth and realistic highlights to their models. It is ideal for hobbyists painting Space Wolves or any project requiring a muted blue-grey tone, offering a smooth, semi-opaque finish that layers perfectly over base coats. The primary caveat for new users is that this paint is designed for layering; it is not meant to provide full coverage in a single stroke and requires a steady hand for the best results.

Troubleshooting
Paint looks streaky or uneven
Your paint might be too thick. Add a tiny amount of water to thin the consistency and apply in two thin layers rather than one heavy one.
Paint is drying too fast on the brush
Use a wet palette to keep the paint hydrated during longer painting sessions.
Paint has separated in the pot
This is normal for acrylics. Shake the pot thoroughly for at least 30 seconds or use a clean stirring tool to mix the pigments back together.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare your miniatures, ensure they are properly primed with a Citadel base spray before applying any layer paints. Shake the pot vigorously before use to ensure the pigments are properly suspended. If the paint feels too thick, transfer a small amount to a palette and add a drop of water to reach your desired consistency. After painting, ensure the flip-top lid 'snaps' into place to prevent the acrylic from drying. If paint builds up around the rim, wipe it clean with a damp cloth before closing to ensure an airtight seal. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
