Product Information
Full details
The Warhammer Citadel Layer Paint in Teclis Blue is designed for miniature painters and hobbyists looking to refine the appearance of their models after the base coat has been applied. Its primary benefit is the ability to build up vibrant color depth and highlight details through layering, though users should note that it requires a smooth base coat for the best opacity results.

FAQs
Can I use this paint directly on bare plastic?
While it will adhere, it is highly recommended to prime your miniature first to ensure long-term durability and better color vibrancy.
Is Teclis Blue an opaque paint?
No, as a Layer paint, it is designed with a semi-translucent quality to allow for better blending and highlighting over Base paints.
How do I thin this paint?
You can thin this paint using a small amount of clean water or a dedicated acrylic medium.
Can I use this with an airbrush?
Yes, but you will likely need to thin the paint further with an airbrush thinner to reach the correct consistency for the nozzle.
Does this paint require a varnish?
While it dries to a durable matt finish, applying a varnish is recommended if you plan to handle the miniatures frequently during gameplay.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears thick or clumpy
Add a tiny drop of clean water to the pot and mix thoroughly with a clean brush.
Paint is not covering the base layer
Ensure the underlying Base paint is fully dry and apply a second thin layer of the Teclis Blue.
Dried paint on the rim preventing lid closure
Use a hobby knife or a damp cloth to scrape away dried acrylic residue from the pot rim.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides excellent control for building highlights
- Dries to a smooth, non-reflective matt finish
- Works consistently across plastic, metal, and resin
- Water-based formula makes cleanup simple
Cons
- Lower pigment density than Base paints, requiring multiple thin coats
- Small 12ml pot may require frequent replacement for large armies
- Can look uneven if applied over an unprimed surface
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before use, ensure your miniature has been primed and coated with the appropriate Base paint. Always shake the 12ml pot vigorously before opening to ensure the pigment and medium are properly mixed. Use a clean, synthetic or sable hair brush to apply the paint in thin, controlled layers rather than one thick coat, which can obscure fine details. After use, ensure the lid is snapped shut securely to prevent the acrylic medium from drying out. Clean your brushes immediately with fresh water after each session to maintain the integrity of the brush bristles.
