Warhammer Colour: Averland Sunset (12ml)

Product Overview

Averland Sunset is a highly pigmented Base paint from the Citadel Colour range, known for its incredible vibrancy and density. It is the gold standard for achieving a clean, opaque yellow finish, which is famously difficult to achieve in miniature painting.

Features and Benefits

• Exceptional Opacity: Formulated to solve the common issue of thin, streaky yellows, this paint offers remarkable coverage, allowing you to establish a strong yellow base in just one or two coats.

• Vibrant Tone: Its rich, warm-yellow hue serves as the perfect foundation for bright Imperial Fists armor, hazard stripes, or high-visibility iconography.

• Smooth Finish: Despite its high pigment density, it dries to a smooth, matte finish, providing an ideal surface for washes or highlight layers.

• System Compatibility: Designed to be the starting point for the Citadel yellow-spectrum system, it pairs perfectly with layering paints and shade paints designed for golden tones.

Usage Tips

• Thorough Mixing: Yellow pigments can be heavy and prone to separation. Shake the pot vigorously and consider using a mixing ball to ensure the pigment is fully incorporated into the medium.

• Thinning: While it has great coverage, do not apply it thick. Thin it slightly with water to ensure it self-levels on the miniature’s surface, preserving the sculpted details.

• Undercoating: For the brightest results, use Averland Sunset over a light grey or white undercoat. If you are painting over a black primer, you may need a thin coat of a lighter paint like Wraithbone first to help the yellow appear more vibrant.

• Layering: Since Averland Sunset is a deep, warm yellow, it works beautifully when highlighted with a lighter, more lemon-toned yellow layer paint to create depth and shadow
