Contrast: Snakebite Leather (18ML)

A rich, warm honey-brown Citadel Contrast paint formulated with dense pigments suspended in a unique, flowing medium. Designed to wash over a light undercoat, it automatically pulls away from raised surfaces and pools deeply into creases and textures, delivering a complete warm-brown base coat, smooth leather shading, and a clean highlight all in a single application. Packaged in an 18ml pot.

What it’s good for:

~ Instantly painting realistic, mid-tone leather materials like worn satchels, holsters, weapon wraps, belts, and combat boots with natural depth

~ Achieving immediate, high-contrast results on warm animal fur, the hides of desert beasts, and coarse creature hair

~ Providing a fast, realistic wood stain effect over textured surfaces like wooden shields, building timber, weapon shafts, and storage crates

~ Creating smooth, sun-baked khaki or rich tan tones on rugged desert fatigues, survival cloaks, and historical uniforms

What it goes well with:

~ Wraithbone or Grey Seer (Contrast undercoats: Wraithbone emphasizes a rich, warm, golden-brown finish, while Grey Seer provides a slightly cooler, more desaturated tan tone)

~ Contrast Medium (Technical medium: thinning Snakebite Leather down allows you to create subtle tinting glazes, softer leather shading, or lighter wood grain washes)

~ Balor Brown or Skrag Brown (Traditional layer paints: perfect for brushing over raised leather folds or edge-highlighting textured wood grain to restore warm mid-tones and add sharp definition)
