Fantastic paint

A fantastic paint that goes on smoothly and doesn't dry out too fast.

Citadel Leadbelcher

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

Citadel makes excellent metallics, but in my opinion, Leadbelcher is the best of all their metallics.

great paint.

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

I'm not a fan of GW for many reasons but I can not fault them for their paints. They are excellent. I have used many silver-type paints by several different companies and by far this is the best one I have ever used. I do add a little water to it to thin it out and the results are great! Goes on even, and dries quickly and smoothly. no grainy finish that I have gotten with other bottle paints.

Leadbelcher base paint

Average rating of 4 out of 5 stars

You know pretty much exactly what you're getting with Citadel paints. Granted they tend to dry up sooner than I'd like, and I wish they'd come in squeeze bottles, but with such a wide array of colors I really don't have to worry about ever learning to mix colors! So while I'm painting warhammer minis I'm pretty much strictly using Citadel paints!

Staple paint

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

This is one of my staple paints. Versatile and applicable for all metals as the first color. I do found it more oily and dark/gunmetal than some others. I am trying some other metallic bases to vary the appearance of metal on my models. Easy to apply and does not need too much thinning.
