Citadel colour: Shade

What Are Citadel Shade Paints?

Citadel Shade paints are a game-changer when it comes to enhancing the details of your miniatures. Designed to flow into recesses, these paints are perfect for modelers who want to achieve deep shadows and high contrast with minimal effort. Whether you're working on a full army or a single character piece, Citadel Shade paints offer reliable, smooth application and beautiful results.

Why Use Citadel Shade Paints?

Unlike standard colors, these shades are formulated to run into the nooks and crannies of your miniatures, emphasizing every sculpted detail. This makes them ideal for adding realism to muscles, armor, weapons, or clothing folds. With just a single coat, Citadel Shade paints can define the entire look of your model.

Versatile Colors for Every Project

In this collection, you'll find iconic options like Agrax Earthshade, Nuln Oil, and Drakenhof Nightshade, among many others. Each shade delivers subtle to strong darkening effects based on the color and material underneath. Whether you’re aiming for a grimy urban look, a worn-out battlefield finish, or the magical aura of a fantasy creature, Citadel Shade paints have you covered.

Easy to Apply, Easy to Love

No need for complex techniques—just shake the bottle, dip your brush, and let gravity do the work. The formula settles into creases, avoiding raised areas, giving instant contrast and depth. It’s an especially useful tool for beginner painters, though advanced users rely on them just as much for layering and glazing tricks.
