FAQs

What is Zandri Dust?

Zandri Dust is a specific shade of beige base paint within the Warhammer Citadel range, known for its earthy tone and good coverage.

How do I best apply this paint?

For best results, shake the pot well, apply with a brush to a primed surface, and use two thin coats rather than one thick one. Thinning slightly with water or medium can improve smoothness.

Can I use this paint for airbrushing?

Yes, but it typically requires thinning with an airbrush medium or a significant amount of water to achieve the right consistency for airbrush flow.

How long does the paint take to dry?

Citadel base paints are typically touch-dry within minutes, but full curing can take longer. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

What is the best way to clean my brushes after using this paint?

Clean your brushes immediately after use with lukewarm water and a brush soap or cleaner. Avoid letting the paint dry on the bristles.

Is this paint suitable for beginners?

Yes, its high pigment count and smooth finish make it an excellent choice for beginners looking for reliable basecoats.

Does this paint require a primer?

While it can adhere to some surfaces without a primer, using a Citadel primer or a compatible acrylic primer is highly recommended for optimal adhesion and paint performance.

Troubleshooting

Paint is too thick or clumpy.

Shake the pot vigorously. If still clumpy, add a very small amount of water or Citadel Technical Medium and mix thoroughly with a clean brush or palette knife.

Poor adhesion to the model.

Ensure the miniature was properly primed before application. If painting on bare plastic or metal, consider using a specific metal or plastic primer.

Uneven coverage or brush strokes visible.

Thin the paint slightly with water or medium. Apply two thin coats, allowing each to dry fully, rather than one thick coat.

Paint dried out in the pot.

Try rehydrating the paint by adding a drop of water or Citadel Technical Medium and letting it sit for a few minutes before mixing. Store with the lid sealed tightly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent opacity for quick basecoating.
  • Smooth application reduces the need for extensive layering on the base.
  • Consistent color provides a reliable starting point for any paint scheme.
  • The Zandri Dust shade is a popular and versatile neutral.
  • Durable finish once dry.

Cons

  • May require thinning for airbrush application.
  • Small pot size can be limiting for very large projects.
  • As an acrylic, it can dry out if the pot is left open.
  • Requires a primer for best adhesion on certain surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No setup is required. The paint is ready to use directly from the pot. Ensure the pot is sealed tightly when not in use to prevent drying.

Compatibility: This paint is compatible with all other Citadel paints, washes, and technical paints. It adheres best to surfaces that have been primed with a Citadel primer or a similar acrylic-friendly primer.

Care: To maintain the paint's consistency, always replace the lid immediately after use. Store pots upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If the paint begins to thicken, a drop of water or Citadel Technical Medium can help restore its consistency. Clean brushes with water immediately after use.
