Citadel Base Neutrals & Skin Tones (12ml)

Establish a Flawless Foundation with Citadel Base Neutrals

The Citadel Base range is engineered to provide smooth, high-opacity coverage in a single coat. These Neutrals and Skin Tones are the essential starting point for any miniature project, providing a solid color foundation over your primer. Whether you are painting realistic human flesh, weathered stone, or military fatigues, these 12ml pots deliver the consistent performance needed for professional-grade results.

Essential Tools for Every Hobbyist:

  • Realistic Skin Tones: Achieve lifelike depth with foundational colors like Bugman’s Glow, Rakarth Flesh, and Ratskin Flesh.
  • Versatile Neutrals: Essential greys, browns, and off-whites like Mechanicus Standard Grey, Zandri Dust, and Steel Legion Drab for terrain and gear.
  • High-Opacity Formula: Specifically designed to cover dark primers easily, ensuring your top layers remain vibrant and true to tone.
  • The Perfect Canvas: These matte-finish paints provide the ideal surface for subsequent shading with Citadel Washes or highlighting with Layer paints.

Pro-Tip for Professional Results:

For the smoothest finish, we recommend thinning your Base paints slightly with water or Lahmian Medium. Applying two thin coats will preserve the fine details of your miniatures while ensuring a completely opaque, streak-free foundation.
