Product Information

Full details

Citadel Shade Paint - Targor Rageshade is an essential tool for miniature painters, hobbyists, and tabletop gamers who want to add depth and professional-level shading to their plastic, metal, or resin models. The key benefit of this product is its specialized formulation that naturally flows into crevices, instantly defining miniature details with a smooth, matt finish. The main caveat for users is that it requires a steady hand and controlled application to avoid pooling on flat surfaces, which can lead to unwanted staining or an uneven appearance.

FAQs

Do I need to thin Targor Rageshade with water?

It is not strictly necessary as it is pre-thinned, but you may add a tiny amount of water or medium if you prefer a more translucent effect.

Can I use this on metal miniatures?

Yes, Citadel Shades are fully compatible with metal, plastic, and resin miniatures as long as they have been properly primed.

How long does it take to dry?

Depending on the humidity and the thickness of the application, it typically dries to a touch-ready state in 10 to 20 minutes.

Is this paint toxic?

No, all Citadel paints are non-toxic, water-based acrylics.

Can I mix this with other Citadel colors?

While you can mix it, doing so will alter the flow properties that make it a 'shade,' so it is generally recommended to use it on its own.

Troubleshooting

The shade left tide marks on flat areas.

Use a clean, dry brush to absorb excess liquid immediately after application, or dilute the shade with a small amount of Lahmian Medium.

The shade is too dark for the base color.

Apply a second, thin layer of your original base color over the raised areas to brighten the model, effectively 'highlighting' the model after shading.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces the time required for manual shading
  • High-quality matt finish prevents unwanted glare
  • Excellent flow properties for deep recess penetration
  • Safe, non-toxic formula for all ages of hobbyists

Cons

  • Can pool on large, flat surfaces if too much is applied
  • May require a secondary base coat touch-up to clean edges
  • Limited to 18ml per pot, which may run out quickly for large armies

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To prepare for use, ensure your miniature is primed and has a fully dried base coat layer. Shake the pot thoroughly before opening to ensure the pigments are properly mixed. If the paint feels too thick, you can thin it with a small amount of water or a dedicated acrylic medium, though it is designed to work well directly from the pot. After each session, ensure the lid is snapped firmly shut to prevent the acrylic from drying out. Store your pots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Brushes used with Citadel shades should be rinsed thoroughly with clean water immediately after use to prevent pigment buildup in the bristles.
