Citadel Base – essential paints for your models
Start with a solid foundation!
Citadel Base paints are designed to provide excellent coverage and rich color with just a single brush stroke. They’re perfect for applying the first layer on plastic, metal, or resin – whether you’re painting Space Marines, Orks, or Tyranids.
In this category, you’ll find a wide range of shades matching official faction color schemes, but also great for your own creative combinations. Thick consistency, fast drying, and strong adhesion – that’s Citadel Base.
Every hero begins with a base coat. Choose yours!
