The paints are water-based acrylics so, therefore, share many of the same characteristics. Vallejo is a Spanish company with a huge range of paints that caters to the traditional kit building hobbyist and to wargamers. It is for this reason we recommend most new players to the Warhammer hobby stick with GW, at least in the beginning as it is easy to pick up the paint of the right color and follow the guides with minimal mess.Ĭitadel is not the only paint manufacturer with a range aimed at mini painters and hobbyists. It is also easy to clean up after a painting session, again using water to remove paint from brushes.Ĭitadel paints have undergone several changes over the years, with GW refining the formula and color choice to the extensive range we have today. Paint can be thinned down with tap water although some painters prefer to work with deionized or distilled water with the impurities removed. They are easy to work with and require no expensive or smelly solvents. There is good reason GW chose water-based acrylic paints. Their citadel branded paint is also found in independent game stores the world over and features in all of their official publications such as White Dwarf as well as their online painting guides. For starters, it is the de facto standard when walking into a Games Workshop or Warhammer store. And you know what, the paint turned out to be the exact shade I was looking for.Water-based acrylic paint is the obvious choice for mini painting. I was like, “Whoa, this is amazing!” So, I matched up the hex code for the color I needed and ordered a batch online.
I found this crazy chart that listed all the known equivalents for different paint colors. And let me tell you, the internet did not disappoint.
I didn’t have time to run to the store, so I turned to the trusty old internet for help. But all of a sudden, I realized I was all out of the color I needed.
Yo, so I was in the middle of creating a work of art the other day, you know, painting my latest masterpiece.
