Warhammer Colour: Abaddon Black (12ml)

Product Overview

Abaddon Black is the deepest and most opaque black paint in the Citadel Colour range. It is a fundamental necessity for any hobbyist, providing a rich, solid finish that is perfect for armour, weapons, recesses, and dark colour schemes.

Key Specifications

• Volume: 12ml

• Paint Type: Base Acrylic

• Finish: Matte

• Colour Family: Black

Features and Benefits

• Ultimate Opacity: Engineered for superior coverage, it is designed to completely hide the underlying surface in just one or two thin coats, eliminating the need for multiple passes.

• True Black Tone: Unlike some black paints that can appear slightly blue or grey, Abaddon Black provides a neutral, intense black that serves as a perfect dark base.

• Versatility: Beyond base coating, it is excellent for painting black gear, boots, and weapons, or for thinning down to use as an ink for darkening specific areas.

• Seamless Integration: Formulated to work perfectly with the entire Citadel system, it is an essential companion for edge highlighting with grey or blue-toned layer paints.

Usage Tips

• Shake Well: Because this paint is so heavily pigmented, ensure you shake the pot thoroughly before use to maintain its intense finish.

• Thinning: Always apply in thin layers. Adding a small amount of water to your brush or palette will allow the paint to flow into recesses without pooling or creating a thick, clumpy finish.

• Highlighting: Since pure black can look flat on a miniature, use Abaddon Black as your base and then layer up using dark greys on the edges of your models to give them definition and a realistic appearance.

• Clean-up: As a highly pigmented paint, ensure you rinse your brushes thoroughly in clean water immediately after use to prevent the black pigment from staining your bristles.
