Collection: Warhammer/Citadel Colour - Contrast Paints

Citadel Contrast paints are a revolutionary, fluid acrylic formulation designed to completely skip the traditional multi-step base-coating, shading, and highlighting process. Engineered to flow off raised surfaces and settle heavily into the recesses, this unique medium tints smooth areas with a vivid color layer while automatically creating deep, realistic shadows and crisp highlights in a single, efficient application over a light undercoat.

What they are good for:

~ Achieving a high-quality "Battle Ready" standard across entire armies or large batches of infantry in record time

~ Flowing effortlessly over organic textures like muscles, fur, hair, and scaled hides to instantly catch molded details

~ Creating rich, custom tints and metallic shades when applied directly over silver or gold metallic base coats

~ Providing a smooth, vivid glaze to filter underlying colors, blend gradients, or tint pale skin tones
