Product Information

Full details

Citadel Contrast Paint in Stormfiend is designed for hobbyists and miniature painters who want to achieve a high-quality tabletop standard quickly. By combining base coating and shading into a single application, this paint significantly reduces painting time. However, it requires a light-colored undercoat to achieve the intended translucent shading effect, meaning it is less effective on dark or bare plastic surfaces.

FAQs

Do I need to thin this paint?

No, Contrast paints are designed to be used straight out of the pot without thinning.

Can I use this on metal miniatures?

Yes, it adheres well to metal, provided the miniature has been properly primed.

Is Stormfiend a matte or glossy paint?

It typically dries to a semi-matte or satin finish depending on the surface texture.

What happens if I use a dark primer?

A dark primer will obscure the translucent properties of the paint, preventing it from creating the intended depth and shading.

Can I mix this with other colors?

Yes, you can mix different Contrast colors together on a palette to create custom hues.

Troubleshooting

Paint is pooling too heavily in large areas

Use a clean, damp brush to wick away the excess paint while it is still wet.

The color looks uneven or blotchy

Ensure you are using a lighter undercoat and try to maintain a consistent flow across the surface without stopping mid-stroke.

Paint is drying too fast to work with

Apply a slightly thicker coat to keep the medium fluid for a longer duration, allowing it to settle into the recesses properly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Drastically reduces painting time by eliminating separate shading steps
  • Creates natural-looking shadows in deep recesses automatically
  • Highly pigmented for consistent color saturation
  • Easy to clean using water

Cons

  • Requires a light undercoat to function correctly
  • Can be prone to pooling on flat, wide surfaces if not managed
  • Not suitable for touch-ups or traditional layering techniques

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For best results, prime your model with a light-colored spray, such as white or light grey. Apply the paint directly from the pot or a wet palette. Because this is a water-based product, you can clean your brushes easily with soap and water immediately after use. Always close the lid firmly after each session to prevent the 18ml of paint from drying out. Store the pot in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the formula's consistency.
