Citadel Base Paint XV-88 is an essential tool for Warhammer hobbyists and miniature painters seeking a reliable, high-pigment foundation for their models. Formulated for excellent coverage, this paint allows users to achieve a solid, smooth matte base coat on plastic, metal, and resin miniatures in fewer layers. While it provides superior consistency for priming and blocking in colors, users should note that the 12ml pot requires careful storage to prevent the paint from thickening over time.

Yes, Citadel Base paints are formulated to adhere to metal as well as plastic and resin.
Yes, for the best adhesion and longevity, you should always apply a primer coat to your miniature first.
No, it is a water-based, non-toxic acrylic paint.
While intended for brush application, it can be used in an airbrush if thinned significantly with an appropriate airbrush thinner.
Properly sealed, a pot can last for several years, though it is best to use it within 1-2 years of opening.
Rinse the brush thoroughly in a cup of clean water and reshape the bristles while damp.
Add one or two drops of clean water or acrylic thinner and stir thoroughly.
Ensure the rim of the pot is wiped clean of dried paint so the lid can create an airtight seal.
Thin the paint slightly and apply two lighter coats instead of one thick coat.
To ensure the longevity of your XV-88 paint, always shake the pot vigorously before use to ensure the pigments are thoroughly mixed. If the paint appears slightly thick, add a tiny amount of water or a dedicated acrylic medium rather than using it directly from the pot.
Compatibility is universal across the Games Workshop miniature range, including plastic infantry, metal character models, and resin vehicles. After painting, clean your brushes immediately with water to prevent the acrylic from drying in the bristles. Always ensure the pot lid is snapped shut tightly until you hear a click to maintain the airtight seal and prevent the paint from hardening.
