With over 300 shades available, the range includes paints for every technique, from smooth basecoats to complex weathering effects. The Dry paints are formulated for drybrushing, a technique that quickly enhances texture and brings out fine details.

Citadel Colour ranges explained:

• Base – high-pigment paints for solid foundational coats.
• Layer – thinner paints used for highlights and smooth blends.
• Shade – washes designed to create natural depth and contrast.
• Dry – thick paints for drybrushing raised areas to achieve quick highlights or worn textures.
• Contrast – innovative paints that act as base, shade, and highlight in one coat.
• Technical – effect paints for rust, blood, dust, corrosion, or glow effects.

Usage tips:

Apply a small amount of paint to a drybrush, then wipe most of it off on a paper towel. Lightly brush over raised details to highlight edges and textures. Necron Compound pairs perfectly with Leadbelcher and Ironbreaker for layered metallic effects. Shade with Nuln Oil or Agrax Earthshade for a realistic, worn metal finish. Non-toxic and suitable for plastic, metal, and resin miniatures.
