FAQs

How do I apply Citadel Shade Paint - Poxwalker?

Shake or stir the paint well. Load a suitable brush with a moderate amount of paint and apply it over the painted area. The paint is designed to flow into the recesses automatically. For large flat areas, wick away excess with a clean, damp brush before it dries.

Can I use this paint on any miniatures?

Yes, Citadel Shade Paint - Poxwalker is formulated for use on plastic, metal, and resin miniatures. It is also compatible with most acrylic-based paints from other brands.

What is the difference between a Shade and a Wash?

Citadel Shades are specifically formulated to flow into recesses and define details, offering a more targeted shading effect. While often used interchangeably with 'washes', Shades are optimized for this specific purpose within the Citadel paint range.

How long does the paint take to dry?

Drying time can vary based on application thickness and environmental humidity. Typically, it dries to the touch within 15-30 minutes and can be safely painted over after an hour.

Does this paint require a specific primer?

No, it can be applied over any standard acrylic primer and base coat. However, using Citadel primers and base paints is recommended for optimal compatibility and finish.

Can I mix Poxwalker with other Citadel paints?

Yes, Poxwalker can be mixed with other Citadel paints, such as Layer or Base paints, to create custom washes or glazes. It can also be thinned with water or Citadel Mediums.

What is the shelf life of Citadel Shade Paint?

When stored correctly with the lid tightly sealed in a cool, dry place, Citadel paints can last for several years. If the paint thickens significantly or develops an odor, it may be past its usable state.

Troubleshooting

Paint is too thick or gloopy.

Shake the pot vigorously or stir thoroughly. If still thick, add a tiny amount of water or Citadel Technical Medium to thin it to the desired consistency.

Shade pools excessively on flat areas.

Apply a thinner coat. Alternatively, use a brush to wick away excess paint from flat surfaces before it dries, or apply the shade only to the recesses.

Color appears too dark or not defined enough.

For darker results, apply a second thin coat after the first has dried. For lighter shading, ensure a solid base coat is applied beneath the shade.

Paint dries with an uneven texture.

Ensure the surface of the miniature is clean and free from dust or oils. Apply the paint in thin, even coats and avoid overworking it.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effortlessly enhances miniature detail with natural shading.
  • Significantly reduces painting time for shadows.
  • Non-toxic and water-based for safe and easy cleanup.
  • Achieves a smooth matte finish suitable for further painting.
  • Flows well into crevices, defining sculpted details effectively.

Cons

  • Can pool on large, flat surfaces if not applied carefully.
  • May require thinning for very fine details or specific effects.
  • Drying time can vary depending on humidity and application thickness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Citadel Shade Paint - Poxwalker is ready to use straight from the pot. Ensure the paint is well-shaken or stirred before application to integrate the pigments. A small amount of paint can be applied directly to the miniature using a brush suitable for the area being painted.

Compatibility: This paint is designed to be used over Citadel Foundation, Layer, and Dry paints. It is compatible with plastic, metal, and resin miniatures. It can be applied over any acrylic-based miniature paint.

Care: After use, immediately clean your brushes with water to prevent the acrylic paint from drying and hardening. Store the pot with its lid tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the lid is properly closed to maintain the paint's consistency and prevent drying out.
