Technical
Citadel Technical paints, effects and textures for finishing miniatures
Citadel Technical is a range of specialist products designed for effects, textures, bases and finishing work on miniatures. Unlike traditional Base or Layer paints, each product has its own specific purpose – it can create cracked earth, mud, stone, blood, oxidation, slime, striking glowing effects or alter the behaviour of other paints.
Technical products can be used when finishing Warhammer miniatures, terrain and bases. The range includes texture paints, effect colours, mediums for adjusting paint consistency and transparency, as well as products for final surface finishes.
Technical texture paints allow you to create a surface for a base or terrain quickly. Depending on the specific product, you can create mud, rocky ground, dry earth or cracked terrain.
Effect paints can be used to create blood, metal oxidation, slime, glowing surfaces and other distinctive details that would be more difficult to achieve with standard paints.
The range also includes mediums for adjusting paint properties and products for finishing surfaces. This allows you to alter transparency, work with Contrast paints or create a glossy final effect.
There is no single universal way to use the entire range. Texture paints are usually applied in a more substantial layer, while effect products may work better when applied locally and in smaller amounts. Before use, check the intended purpose of the specific product and, for more pronounced effects, it is a good idea to test the technique on a spare surface first.
