GW: Citadel Artificer Tint Set
Games Workshop latest addition to their paint range is “a chemistry set for painters” – This stuff is magic!
Citadel Paints are pretty easy to work with. The entire line is designed so that every step of the way is really easy to follow: basecoat, shade, highlight – it’s right there on the paint pot. Now, Games Workshop has something new for all you “advanced” hobbyists out there – The new Citadel Artificer Tint Set.
This is is really geared for those folks who have a solid understanding of technique and color theory. Both of those topics can get pretty deep but for now, let’s look more at the color theory part which is what these new Tints are aimed at.
These tints are basically pigment concentrate which allow you to add pigment to your paints which can create a bold new color…
…a more visually intense tone…
…a Hue that is shifted to drastic degree…
…or something with a more subtle touch.
Now, again, these are designed for people who have a solid grasp of color theory and how tints and pigments work. This stuff isn’t for everyone but it can help you get some pretty amazing results. So if you’ve got a good grasp of the basics and want to step-up your hobby game, take a look at this new Tint set and give them a whirl – you just might surprise yourself!
Citadel Artificer Tint Set $50
The range of Citadel paints is vast and versatile – but expert painters require even more flexibility when bringing their visions of beautifully-painted miniatures to life. The Artificer Tint Set is a selection of pure pigments – the pigments we use to create the Citadel paint range itself, no less – that allow you to incrementally add tints to your paints. Brighten or darken colours, subtly change hues, design and create your own paints! It’s essentially a chemistry set for the dedicated hobbyist.
This set contains 10 3ml pots of Citadel tints, along with 3 mixers for dropping the tints into your pots of Citadel paint (you only need a tiny drop for impressive results!) The tints cover the full spectrum, and are perfect for the experienced hobbyist.
