Product Information
Full details
The Citadel Lahmian Medium is an essential tool for miniature painters, hobbyists, and Warhammer enthusiasts who need to control the consistency and transparency of their paints. This 24ml water-based medium allows users to thin down acrylics without breaking their chemical binder, ensuring consistent application and professional results on plastic, metal, and resin models. While it is a versatile addition to any workbench, it is important to note that it is not intended to be used as a standalone basecoat, but rather as a supporting additive for blending and glazing.

FAQs
Can I use Lahmian Medium instead of water to thin my paints?
Yes, it is often better than water because it thins the paint without weakening the acrylic binder.
Is Lahmian Medium glossy or matte?
It dries to a flat, matte finish, which makes it perfect for maintaining the look of standard miniature paints.
Can I mix this with metallic paints?
Yes, it can be used to thin metallic paints, though be aware that it will also reduce the concentration of metallic flakes.
Does it expire?
As long as the lid is kept tightly closed and the medium is protected from extreme temperatures, it has a long shelf life.
Is this safe for children to use?
The medium is non-toxic, but it should still be handled with standard care and is recommended for supervised use with younger hobbyists.
Troubleshooting
The mixture is too thin and runny.
Add a small amount of your base paint back into the mixture to increase the pigment density.
The paint appears to be drying too quickly on the model.
Ensure you are using a wet palette to keep the mixture hydrated for longer periods during your painting session.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Prevents thinning paints from losing their adhesive properties
- Excellent for creating smooth, professional glazes
- Non-toxic and safe for indoor use
- Highly compatible with all Citadel acrylic paints

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use Lahmian Medium, start by placing a small amount on a wet palette or mixing tray. Gradually incorporate your chosen paint color until you reach the desired consistency. It is fully compatible with all water-based acrylics, particularly the Citadel Color range.
For care, always ensure the lid is snapped firmly shut after every use, as the medium can thicken if exposed to air for extended periods. If the medium accidentally comes into contact with brushes, rinse them thoroughly with cool water; because it is acrylic-based, it will dry if left on the bristles.
