Citadel Base: Leadbelcher (12ml)

Leadbelcher is a Citadel Base paint with a cool, dark gunmetal tone. It is a classic choice for armour, weapons and machinery across any miniatures collection.

Base paints have a high pigment content, so they cover well and give you a smooth, even layer over primer, often in a single coat. That makes Leadbelcher a solid starting point for metal surfaces before you add washes and highlights.

It comes in a 12ml pot with a flip-top lid. Try a black or brown shade over it, then highlight with a brighter silver for crisp, realistic metal on your models.
