Product Information
Full details
Citadel Contrast Paint in Kroxigor Scales is designed for hobbyists and miniature painters who want to achieve professional-looking results with high efficiency. By combining base coating, shading, and highlighting into a single step, this paint allows you to reach a tabletop standard quickly; however, it requires a light-colored undercoat to achieve its intended depth and vibrancy.

FAQs
Do I need to thin this paint with water?
Generally, no. Contrast paints are pre-thinned to achieve their specific flow properties, though you can use Contrast Medium if you wish to adjust the transparency.
Can I use this over a black primer?
It is not recommended, as the paint is designed to be translucent and requires a light base to show its color and shading effects.
Is this paint non-toxic?
Yes, Citadel Contrast paints are water-based and non-toxic, making them safe for home hobby use.
How long does it take to dry?
Under normal room conditions, it typically dries to a matte finish within 15 to 30 minutes.
Can I mix Kroxigor Scales with other Contrast colors?
Yes, you can mix different Contrast colors on a palette to create custom hues.
Do I need to varnish my models after using this?
While not strictly required, applying a varnish will protect the paint from rubbing off during gameplay.
Troubleshooting
The paint looks streaky or uneven on flat surfaces.
Contrast paints are intended for textured areas. On flat panels, use multiple thin coats of traditional base paint instead, or apply a second thin layer of Contrast once the first is completely dry.
Excessive pooling in recesses.
Use your brush to wick away excess paint from the pool while it is still wet, or spread the pool to adjacent unpainted areas.
The color appears dull or muted.
Ensure your undercoat is a bright white or light grey; dark primers will cause the Contrast paint to lose its vibrancy.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly reduces painting time compared to traditional layering
- Provides built-in shading without manual ink washes
- Excellent for bulk painting squads and large armies
- Water-based formula makes cleanup simple with water
Cons
- Requires a light or white undercoat for optimal performance
- Can be difficult to fix mistakes once the layer has dried
- Not suitable for achieving smooth gradients on large, flat surfaces
- Pools can form if too much paint is applied to one spot
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before using Kroxigor Scales, ensure your miniature is primed with a light undercoat to allow the translucent properties of the paint to function correctly. Shake the pot vigorously for at least 30 seconds to ensure the pigment and medium are thoroughly mixed.
- Compatibility: Safe for use on all standard plastic, resin, and metal gaming miniatures.
- Application: Use a dedicated synthetic brush to manage the fluid consistency effectively.
- Maintenance: Always close the lid tightly after use to prevent the paint from drying out in the pot. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If the paint becomes too thick, a single drop of clean water can restore its consistency.
