Why Choose Citadel Retributor Armour Spray?

The secret to a stunning miniature often lies in the preparation. Citadel Retributor Armour Spray is designed to match the Retributor Armour base paint perfectly. This means that if you need to touch up an area or paint additional components later, you can achieve a seamless transition between the sprayed surface and the brush-applied paint.

Using a dedicated metallic spray primer also eliminates the common issues of brush strokes and uneven coverage that often plague metallic paints. It provides a rock-solid, durable base that adheres perfectly to plastic, resin, and metal miniatures.
