The Magic of Citadel Washes: Instant Depth and Definition

Citadel Shade Paints are designed to be applied over a basecoat or layer paint. Their thin consistency and unique properties allow them to settle into the natural contours and textures of your model, darkening the recessed areas and creating a visual separation between different elements. This technique, often called “washing,” is crucial for adding realism and making details pop, from the intricate armor of a Space Marine to the gnarled skin of an Ork.

Essential Shades for Every Palette

Our comprehensive range of Citadel Shade Paints offers a specific wash for every color and effect you could desire, making them vital hobby supplies for any painter.

• Universal Workhorses: No painting kit is complete without Nuln Oil and Agrax Earthshade. Nuln Oil is a black wash, perfect for adding deep, gritty shadows to metallics like Leadbelcher and Ironbreaker, or for defining details on greys like Mechanicus Standard Grey and whites like Corax White. Agrax Earthshade is a dark brown wash, incredibly versatile for adding grime and earthy shadows to greens like Waaagh! Flesh, browns like Mournfang Brown, and even gold armor based with Balthasar Gold.
• Flesh Tones & Warm Hues: Achieve natural-looking skin with Reikland Fleshshade, ideal over Bugman’s Glow or Cadian Fleshtone. For a warm, aged look on bone (e.g., Ushabti Bone) or gold (e.g., Retributor Armour), Seraphim Sepia is indispensable. Brighten and shade yellows like Averland Sunset with Casandora Yellow, or deepen reds like Mephiston Red and oranges with Fuegan Orange for a fiery glow.
• Cool Tones & Greens: Bring out the rich blues of Macragge Blue or Kantor Blue with Drakenhof Nightshade. For purples, Druchii Violet adds regal depth, especially over Xereus Purple. Greens benefit immensely from Coelia Greenshade for darker tones over Caliban Green, Biel-Tan Green for vibrant shadows over Warpstone Glow, and Athonian Camoshade for a more muted, natural finish over Castellan Green. Even reds like Khorne Red can gain rich, deep shadows with Carroburg Crimson.

Elevate Your Miniature Painting with Ease

The beauty of Citadel Shade Paints lies in their ability to deliver professional-looking results with minimal effort. They dramatically reduce the time it takes to add definition compared to traditional layering techniques. By simply applying a wash, you instantly enhance the contrast and realism of your miniature wargaming figures.

Pairing these water-based shades with your Citadel Base and Citadel Layer paints creates a cohesive and stunning finish. For example, a base of Altdorf Guard Blue followed by a wash of Drakenhof Nightshade, then highlighted with Teclis Blue, creates a dynamic and realistic blue. Similarly, Eshin Grey base with Nuln Oil and Dawnstone highlights makes for compelling dark armor.
