A premium water-based acrylic paint produced by Games Workshop. It is engineered specifically for layering and building up crisp highlights on plastic, resin, or metal gaming miniatures without the need for manual mixing.
Non-toxic, Smooth matte (noted as slightly satin or semi-gloss).
Layer paints have a slightly lower pigment density and a smoother flow than Citadel Base paints. They are designed to glide straight over darker foundation coats to safely build transitions.
For the brightest, most even finish without brush strokes, thin the paint slightly with water on a palette and apply two to three very thin coats rather than one thick layer.
It is frequently applied as a mid-stage highlight step for Imperial Fists armor, Iyanden ghost warriors, or yellow Ork elements.
