Citadel Technical Paints for Miniatures

Bring Your Miniatures to Life with Citadel Technical Paints

The citadel technical paints range is where creativity meets realism. Designed by Games Workshop for Warhammer painters, these paints help you add lifelike effects—mud, rust, corrosion, slime, cracked earth, and glowing energy—to any miniature or terrain piece. Whether you’re painting an army, a display model, or scenery, these technical paints add texture and storytelling to every project.

What’s in this collection

This collection includes the full lineup of Citadel Technical paints, each designed for a unique purpose in miniature painting. From cracked desert bases to dripping blood effects, they make your models look battle-worn, enchanted, or alive with energy.

• Stirland Mud & Armageddon Dust – Perfect for creating natural-looking dirt, soil, and textured terrain bases.
• Blood for the Blood God – Adds realistic wet blood effects to weapons or wounds with a glossy finish.
• Typhus Corrosion & Ryza Rust – A classic combo for aged, rusted metal surfaces and industrial decay.
• Nihilakh Oxide & Nurgle’s Rot – Ideal for weathering bronze and adding sickly green slime details.
• Tesseract Glow & Soulstone Blue – For magical, glowing effects on power weapons, crystals, and armor.

Why use Citadel Technical paints

Unlike standard acrylics, citadel technical paints are formulated for specialized effects that instantly enhance realism. They are pre-mixed to the perfect consistency, making them easy to apply directly from the pot—no advanced techniques required. With these paints, you can replicate dirt, corrosion, or magical auras in minutes.

Painters love them because they simplify complex effects that would otherwise require layering, glazing, or pigment powders. Whether you’re new to the hobby or a seasoned pro, Technical paints are your shortcut to professional-quality results.

Tips for best results

Always shake your paints well before use and apply them over a primed surface. Use a dedicated brush for technical paints—especially for thicker textures like Stirland Mud or Agrellan Earth—to avoid damaging fine detail brushes. For glowing effects, layer Tesseract Glow over a white or silver base to make the color pop.

You can also combine these paints for deeper realism, such as applying Typhus Corrosion followed by dry-brushed Ryza Rust for aged metallics, or mixing Blood for the Blood God with Nurgle’s Rot for gruesome organic textures.
