Different Types of Warhammer Paints
Painting miniatures has been part of Warhammer since the very beginning, and it’s crucial to use specialist paints for the job.
Previously called Citadel paints, Warhammer paints have been meticulously designed just for miniatures, with a finer pigment density that suits the tiny details of the models.
Nowadays, Warhammer has hundreds of different paint options across multiple categories:
- Base Paints: Contains more pigment for a stronger coat upon which you can paint details.
- Layer Paints: A more flowing paint for details and highlights.
- Shade Paints: Designed to flow into recesses of models, creating a shadow effect.
- Technical Paints: Often have unique properties to create visual effects such as dirt, corrosion or glow.
- Contrast Paints: Very thin, ink-like paints that have many uses, including highlighting and shading in one application.
- Dry Paints: Heavy-pigment paints designed for dry brushing, a popular technique for highlights.
- Air Paints: Designed to work with airbrushes.
- Spray Paints: Spray cans designed for quickly applying coats over multiple figures.
We’ve marked all the paints on our site with the category they belong to, so it’s easy to find the perfect paint for your needs.
Warhammer Paint Brushes
The fine details of your minis need fine brushes to match. Citadel has produced a wide range of brushes and other tools to help you do the most precise work possible.
Citadel brushes are grouped by the paint and technique used to apply them. A base brush has a different shape and texture from a layer brush and a dry brush, and so on. Therefore, if you’re planning to use a lot of different paints, you’ll want a full selection of their brushes for the best finish.
