About Citadel Colour paints:

Citadel Colour paints from Games Workshop are trusted by hobbyists worldwide for their quality and versatility. The Technical range includes specialty paints designed to create realistic effects such as mud, rust, blood, frost, or glowing energy. Stirland Mud is among the most popular for achieving convincing earth textures on model bases.

Citadel Colour ranges explained:

• Base – high-pigment paints for solid foundation coats.
• Layer – thinner paints for highlighting and tonal transitions.
• Shade – washes that create depth and natural shadows.
• Dry – thicker paints for drybrushing raised textures.
• Contrast – innovative paints that combine base, shade, and highlight in one coat.
• Technical – effect paints for special finishes such as mud, snow, rust, gore, or glow effects – including Stirland Mud for earthy, muddy textures.

Usage tips:

Apply Stirland Mud directly onto your base using a brush or spatula. Let it dry completely to form a textured, realistic surface. For added depth, apply a wash like Agrax Earthshade or Nuln Oil, and drybrush with Tyrant Skull or Terminatus Stone to highlight the details. You can finish the base by adding static grass, tufts, or pigments for a natural look. The paint is water-based, non-toxic, and suitable for all types of miniatures.
