Description
Solid Gunmetal Basecoating for Miniature Armor & Machinery
Painting dark steel, machinery, and weapons is a core part of hobby painting, and Citadel Base: Leadbelcher is the gold standard for metallic basecoats. Specially formulated with ultra-fine metallic flakes and high pigment density, this 12ml acrylic paint provides rich, opaque dark iron coverage with a subtle metallic sheen—even over black primer.
Essential for Warhammer & Tabletop Gaming Models
Whether you are painting Warhammer 40,000 Space Marines weapons, Necron chassis, Iron Hands armor, or Warhammer Age of Sigmar Stormcast Eternals weapons and ironclad armor, Leadbelcher provides the strong metallic foundation your miniatures need.
Key Features:
- High-Opacity Formula: Covers large metallic areas quickly without requiring multiple thick layers.
- Realistic Metallic Finish: Provides a subtle dark steel tone that takes washes and glazes exceptionally well.
- 12ml Pot: Standard Citadel pot size, ideal for army painters working on heavy infantry and vehicles.
- System Compatibility: Pairs seamlessly with Citadel Shades (like Nuln Oil or Agrax Earthshade) and Layer paints (like Ironbreaker or Runefang Steel).
How to Use:
Shake the pot thoroughly before opening. Thin slightly with water on a palette using an old or dedicated metallic paint brush. Apply evenly over primed miniatures. Allow to dry completely before applying washes like Nuln Oil for instant depth, followed by brighter metallic edge highlights.
