Citadel Technical Paints

Citadel Technical Paints – Realistic Special Effects

Citadel Technical paints are a specialized line of products from Games Workshop, designed for adding realistic and unique effects to models and miniatures. Unlike standard Base or Layer paints, the Technical range allows you to achieve advanced results without having to mix multiple products. In this palette, you'll find ready-to-use solutions for creating effects like rust, verdigris, fresh and dried blood, grime, slime, and even cracked earth on your miniatures' bases.

Key Products in the Citadel Technical Range

This category includes a wide range of paints with specific purposes. Among the most popular are the texture paints, such as Agrellan Earth or Martian Ironcrust, which crack as they dry to simulate parched earth. Weathering effects like Typhus Corrosion (grimy streaks) combined with Ryza Rust (a dry rust pigment) allow for realistic aging of vehicles and machinery. Want to add gruesome details? Blood for the Blood God creates the effect of glistening, fresh blood, while Nurgle's Rot perfectly imitates disgusting slime. The range also includes key mediums like 'Ardcoat, a gloss varnish for protecting and adding shine to details, and Lahmian Medium – a colorless fluid for thinning paints without losing their properties.

Who Are Citadel Technical Paints For?

Paints from this range are an ideal choice for both beginners and experienced modelers. They simplify the process of creating complex effects that would normally require extensive knowledge and experimentation. With them, you can easily give your armies a unique character, enrich your miniature bases with interesting details, or apply realistic weathering to your models. Whether you're painting futuristic soldiers, fantasy monsters, or historical vehicles, Citadel Technical paints will open up new possibilities and allow you to take your work to a new level of realism.
