Citadel... Nuff said

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

It's exactly the quality you would expect from citadel. Great paint but a bit over priced.

A classic

Average rating of 4 out of 5 stars

Citadel has a confusing way of naming its colors, but this one is spot-on. When I think of Grey this is what I envision every time. A must-have. Oh, and a little trick you might like! Paint something with this and then go over it with a layer of Basilicanum Grey for an easily highlighted black! It'll read as black and give you a head-start on those annoying edge highlights. Another fun trick, drybrush the silver color of your choice over this and it'll read as metallic without having to fuss as much over highlighting the metal!

Staple paint

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

This is one of my staple paints. It is a medium gray with a strong color and solid, flat appearance. I use it in many applications including terrain (rocks, ruins), gray base, and for black leather. Paint this as the base and then contrast black templar.
