Warhammer Colour Paints

The Warhammer Colour paint range gives you colours and finishes for every stage of painting a miniature. Whether you prefer a traditional basecoat, shade and highlight process or want to make use of Contrast paints, you can build a collection that suits both your painting style and the miniatures on your desk.

Browse Base paints for the main colours of your scheme, then use Layer paints for highlights and details. Contrast paints provide another way to add colour and definition, while Dry paints are made for catching raised textures. The collection also includes Air, Shade and Technical paints for more specialised stages and effects.

Warhammer Colour is the updated name for the same familiar range previously branded as Citadel Colour. This means paints carrying either label can sit comfortably together in your collection. If you are building your first paint set, our guide to starting miniature painting offers a straightforward introduction. You can also read our guide to the Warhammer Colour branding change.
