Warhammer Paints

Bring Your Army to Life With Warhammer Paints 

Painting is what makes a grey plastic army something deeply personal. You can add depth to armor panels, make weapons stand out, and bring out details that are easy to miss straight off the sprue. We make it easy here at Danireon, the #1 Warhammer shop online.

Our Warhammer paint collection brings together the full Citadel Colour system in one place, so you can effortlessly move from basecoating to finished highlights without guessing which paint comes next. 

You’ll find Base paints for strong coverage, Layer paints for controlling color buildup, and Shade paints that flow seamlessly into recesses for natural shadow.

Contrast paints speed up projects by adding color and shading in a single pass, while Technical paints handle textures, weathering, and special effects like rust or cracked ground. 

Whether you’re painting your first squad or refining a display piece, having the full range of paint types on hand empowers you to follow a clear process instead of piecing supplies together from multiple brands. Shop now and bring your vision to life!

Frequently asked questions

What is the 3 paint rule Warhammer?

This is the tabletop standard used at many events. Also known as the “three-color minimuim,” it simply states that you have to use at least three distinct colors for your army to be battle ready. 

What type of paint is best for Warhammer?

Water-based acrylic paints designed specifically for miniatures work best. You might be able to get the job done with generic paint, but why take any chances? Citadel Colour paints are made for plastic and resin models, with Base, Layer, Shade, Contrast, and Technical types that each serve a specific purpose during painting.

Do I need special brushes for Warhammer paints?

It definitely helps streamline the project. You won’t have to look far, either. Our Warhammer paint brushes are the perfect pairing with our Warhammer paints!

How do I paint my Warhammer miniatures?

Start with a primer, apply a Base color, add a Shade to bring out recesses, then build highlights using Layer paints. Work in thin coats and let each layer dry before adding the next. Take your time and enjoy the process. 

What if I mess up?

Mistakes are part of the process. Acrylic paints can be painted over once dry, and you can strip models with safe hobby cleaners if you want to start fresh. But we recommend you work slowly to avoid mishaps in the first place!
