Base series paints are primarily designed for applying a base coat to miniatures and figurines. Their main feature is their high opacity compared to other series and paints, but they can also be used for highlights, drybrushing, and other painting effects. The base coat technique is simple. Pre-diluted paint should be applied to the miniatures, ideally in two thin layers. This is done so that all subsequent colors have a base of the optimal color for your painting, not the color of the primer. The Base series of paints consists of 54 colours, which are supplied in 12 ml jars. Citadel paints are high-quality acrylic-based paints. They are non-toxic, safe to use, and suitable for both brush and airbrush applications. Originally developed for painting Games Workshop miniatures, they have earned a reputation among hobbyists and modelers worldwide. These paints are also ideal for painting miniatures from modern tabletop games. The Citadel Color palette contains over 300 colors and shades and is divided into the following series: Base, Layer, Shade, Contrast, Dry, Air, Technical, and Spray.
