About Citadel Colour paints:

Citadel Colour paints by Games Workshop are industry-leading acrylics trusted by miniature painters around the world. The Contrast range is designed to simplify painting by combining the effects of a Base, Shade, and Layer in one coat. Guilliman Flesh is a favourite for creating realistic, warm skin tones with minimal effort.

Citadel Colour ranges explained:

• Base – high-pigment paints for solid foundational coats.
• Layer – thinner paints for subtle highlights and blends.
• Shade – washes that create natural shadows and depth.
• Dry – thick paints for drybrushing raised textures.

Usage tips:

Apply Guilliman Flesh over a light primer such as Wraithbone or Grey Seer. Allow it to flow naturally into recesses for smooth shading and realistic skin effects.
