Games Workshop Citadel Pot de Peinture . - Base Caliban Green

Product Information

As with all of the Citadel paints, it is a non-toxic, water-based acrylic paint designed for use on plastic, metal, and resin Citadel miniatures. If you want to know why I just typed that sentence you should look at Lupe’s excellent Throwing Shade Part 1: An Actually Helpful Guide to the Citadel Paint System if you want to know more about it.

I don't have a fixed place to use my airbrush so I have to pack it away after every use but it's still worth it in my opinion. You can do a 3rd layer with ease if needed after the wash, which I would say you will be doing if you go with this green. I’m no Lupe, Richp, Brin or Booley but I feel that an everyday painter can have some insights on a review for other everyday painters. After the second coat, we get additional info that it does indeed do the whole ‘BASE’ function well.

The colour is also the most neutral of the bunch and of the traditional paints this will be the fastest to go onto the model. Stuff like Chaos Black is pretty much always available, but a lot of the other stuff is not continuously produced.

You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.Which looks pretty rad, in fact it looks real close to what I remember the old Citadel paint looking like. I've already tried Army Painter Angel Green and I wasn't impressed by how thick it goes on even at 14" away. Which means that if you’re regular technique is to wash, tidy and black-line a miniature (as per above) then this the paint for you. Instar is a new company compared with the two giants above, based in the UK the have their own product line.

This is because it’s not really a layer-ed on paint and totally not because I haven’t figured out how to use it. I painted in the rest of the colours at this point (I’ll make a list at the end if you want to replicate it) and washed the model with Army Painter Dark Tone (nuln oil for you Gee Dub converts). We will resolve the issue by sending you replacement items or parts wherever we can and prefer to do this rather than provide a refund.

Now, with more time to muse on it I wonder if the heater I have on during winter is drying out my apartment and causing some of the paints to lose moisture a hell of a lot faster.
