Games Workshop Citadel Pot de Peinture . - Base Caliban Green

Product Information

All Citadel paints are non-toxic, water-based acrylic that are designed for use on plastic, metal, and resin Citadel miniatures. We are going to look at the Citadel Base, Instar and Vallejo paints in a few stages notably the 1 st layer, 2 nd layer, before highlighting, after highlighting and finished. Instar is a new company compared with the two giants above, based in the UK the have their own product line. This is because it’s not really a layer-ed on paint and totally not because I haven’t figured out how to use it. I’m no Lupe, Richp, Brin or Booley but I feel that an everyday painter can have some insights on a review for other everyday painters.

If you have received a product that has a manufacturing fault, which includes missing items from within a box/blister, then you must notify us of it within 12 months of receipt of your goods. I don’t think this a bad thing though as I normally put down a thin 3 rd layer after I black wash the model, so no harm, no foul on that front. All we ask is the product still be in its original packaging and you have your proof of purchase and we'll be happy to help.Wherever possible we will work with you on items that have been purchased incorrectly or on items you are dissatisfied with upon receipt. Now, with more time to muse on it I wonder if the heater I have on during winter is drying out my apartment and causing some of the paints to lose moisture a hell of a lot faster. If you want to know why I just typed that sentence you should look at Lupe’s excellent Throwing Shade Part 1: An Actually Helpful Guide to the Citadel Paint System if you want to know more about it. You can do a 3rd layer with ease if needed after the wash, which I would say you will be doing if you go with this green. It’s also cheap as heck for what you get, the 50ml bottle cost me very little and would do an entire army with ease, so mission accomplished Instar!

As you suggest, those which are the same as their Surface Primer range are designed for military vehicles, and will be a bit dully/earthy in comparison. Your Choice Of Green> -> Washed Army Painter Dark Tone (black wash) -> Highlighted Warboss Green -> Fine highlight Skarskik Green.Thicker than the VGC coats and Instar Matte but not necessarily in a bad way if that makes any sense. For our contrast entrant we are just going to look at the base, 1st layer and finished product as a bit of a bonus. Some people with a good eye (not me) spotted that Caliban Green wasn’t a 1:1 match up with the Dark Angels Green that it replaced. I painted in the rest of the colours at this point (I’ll make a list at the end if you want to replicate it) and washed the model with Army Painter Dark Tone (nuln oil for you Gee Dub converts).

As with all of the Citadel paints, it is a non-toxic, water-based acrylic paint designed for use on plastic, metal, and resin Citadel miniatures. I don't know any other companies that have a similar colour in their spraycan range but to be fair I haven't looked very hard.Ok, seriously before we start talking about this article, all I intended to do was try instar vintage paint and say ‘its good, bad, cool and good, etc’. I don't have a fixed place to use my airbrush so I have to pack it away after every use but it's still worth it in my opinion. Crafted for perfection, each shade promises a smooth, consistent coverage that sets the stage for layering, highlighting, and shading. The green remains consistent between pot -> layer 1 -> layer 2 and the initial coverage is the best out of the 4 paints here.
