Master Deep Marine and Alien Hues with Citadel Stegadon Scale Green 12ml
Achieving rich, moody dark green-blues often leaves miniature painters stuck between two extremes: watery translucent paints that require four or five passes to build color, or heavy paints that pool into recessed crevices and obscure intricate sculpt work. Finding a paint that delivers deep, uniform color without chalkiness or streaking is essential for crisp, high-contrast results.
Stegadon Scale Green 12ml solves this challenge directly. Engineered as part of Games Workshop’s high-performance Citadel Base collection, this deep blue-green paint packs an exceptionally high concentration of fine pigment. It coats models in an opaque, uniform layer over dark or light undercoats, giving you a solid, dependable starting point for sci-fi armor, fantasy beast scales, and aquatic textures.
Core Benefits of Citadel Stegadon Scale Green Base Paint
1. High-Density Coverage with Minimal Layering
Skip the tedious cycle of multi-coat undercoating. Formulated for heavy hiding power, Stegadon Scale Green 12ml conceals black primer, bare plastic, or resin in just one or two thin layers. By covering quickly, it minimizes pigment buildup, keeping fine panel lines, chainmail links, and facial details crisp and sharp.
2. The Essential Foundation for Oceanic and Teal Triads
Despite having “green” in its name, Stegadon Scale Green is a deep, brooding oceanic teal. This makes it an indispensable component for iconic color recipes like Alpha Legion power armor, deep-sea creature carapaces, Sons of Horus shadow glazing, and cold, moody fabric. It serves as the shadow mid-tone that ties vibrant blues and greens together naturally.
3. Self-Leveling, Non-Reflective Matte Texture
Using premium acrylic binders, this paint glides effortlessly off sable and synthetic bristles. When slightly diluted with water or medium on a wet palette, it flows uniformly across flat vehicle plating and organic folds alike. It dries to an ultra-flat, non-reflective matte finish that readily grips washes, contrast layers, and sharp edge highlights.
