1. What are Citadel Shade Paints?
Citadel Shade Paints are specially formulated washes designed to flow into recesses and details on miniatures.
They create shadows, improve contrast, and help bring out sculpted details quickly and effectively.
2. How do Shade Paints work?
Shade Paints naturally settle into crevices and lower areas of a miniature.
This creates darker shadows while leaving raised surfaces brighter, producing a more realistic appearance.
3. Are Citadel Shades beginner-friendly?
Yes. Shades are one of the easiest ways for new painters to dramatically improve the appearance of their miniatures.
Even simple paint jobs can gain significant depth and definition with the use of a wash.

Shade Paints can be used on infantry, vehicles, monsters, terrain, scenery, and display pieces.
They are suitable for fantasy, science-fiction, and historical miniatures alike.
6. Can Shade Paints be used over Base Paints?
Absolutely. Applying a Shade over a Base Paint is one of the most common painting techniques in the Citadel Colour System.
Many painters then follow with Layer Paints and highlights to complete the model.

Yes. Shades are widely used in speed painting because they quickly add depth and definition without requiring advanced techniques.
They are one of the most efficient ways to improve tabletop-ready miniatures.
