Warhammer Colour: Corax White (12ml)

Product Overview

Corax White is a foundational Base paint from the Citadel Colour range. Unlike pure white, it features a very light grey, neutral tone, which is engineered to provide the high opacity required for painting white models without the chalky finish often associated with pure white pigments.

Key Specifications

• Volume: 12ml

• Paint Type: Base Acrylic

• Finish: Matte

• Colour Family: Off-White / Light Grey

Features and Benefits

• Superior Opacity: Specifically formulated to cover dark or multi-coloured undercoats effectively, which is critical for achieving a clean white look on your miniatures.

• Smooth Finish: The neutral, slightly grey undertone provides a better surface for subsequent layers and highlights, preventing the texture issues common with traditional white paints.

• Versatility: Ideal as a primary base for bright colour schemes, such as Space Marine chapters or laboratory-themed terrain, while also serving as a perfect base for brighter, pure white highlights.

• System Integration: Works seamlessly with Citadel's white layer paints and technical glazes to help you achieve a bright, clean, and professional finish.

Usage Tips

• Preparation: This paint can sometimes settle more than others. Shake the pot vigorously for at least 30 to 60 seconds to ensure the heavy white pigments are fully incorporated into the medium.

• Thinning: Because this is a high-pigment base paint, it is vital to thin it slightly with a little water on your palette. Apply in two or three very thin coats; this will give you a much smoother, professional result than one thick coat.

• Application Strategy: If painting a model that is meant to be bright white, use Corax White as your base, then build up to pure white using a dedicated layer paint like White Scar. This layering approach adds depth and prevents the model from looking flat.
