Product Information

Full details

Designed for both novice hobbyists and seasoned painters, Warhammer Colour Base Paint in Corax White provides a high-pigment, reliable foundation for your miniatures. It is engineered to deliver smooth, consistent coverage on plastic, metal, and resin surfaces, ensuring your base coat is perfect for subsequent shading and layering. A notable caveat is that as a base paint with a high pigment density, it must be thinned properly with water to avoid obscuring fine details on intricate models.

FAQs

Do I need to prime my model before using this paint?

Yes, for the best adhesion and consistency, apply a primer spray to your model before using base paints.

Can I use this paint for highlighting?

While designed as a base coat, it can be mixed with brighter colors or thinned down for specific highlighting techniques.

How do I clean my brushes after use?

Because it is a water-based acrylic, simply rinse your brushes thoroughly in clean water immediately after painting.

Is this paint safe to use on resin models?

Yes, it is formulated to bond well with plastic, metal, and resin hobby miniatures.

How many coats should I apply?

Typically, one to two thin coats are sufficient to achieve a solid, opaque base layer.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears streaky or uneven

The paint is likely too thick; thin it slightly with a small amount of water until it flows smoothly.

Paint is clumpy or separated in the pot

Vigorously shake the pot for at least 30-60 seconds to re-incorporate the pigments into the medium.

Paint is drying too fast on the brush

Use a wet palette or add a small amount of acrylic flow improver to maintain consistent working time.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent opaque coverage in one coat
  • Easy to clean up with water
  • Consistent matte finish for better detail visibility
  • Compatible with a wide variety of miniature materials

Cons

  • Requires thinning to prevent thick application
  • 12ml pot may run out quickly for large army painting
  • High pigment load requires thorough shaking before use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin, ensure your miniature is clean and properly undercoated with a primer spray. Always shake the 12ml pot vigorously before opening to ensure the high-density pigments are thoroughly mixed. Use a palette to thin your paint; do not take paint directly from the pot with a wet brush, as this can introduce contaminants. After your session, clean your brushes immediately with water to prevent the acrylic binder from drying in the bristles. Store pots in a cool, dry environment with the lid tightly sealed to prevent the paint from thickening over time.
