COLOUR VALLEJO COLOR MODEL VALLEJO GAME COLOR CITADEL ARMY PAINTER Black 70.950.

While they are not color-matched to the citadel range, they do have similar tones and with careful mixing, a good replacement can be made. PAINT COLOURS All the paint references are Vallejo Model Color numbers. The colors are brighter and fit the fantasy and sci-fi color schemes in many games and can be used instead of other branded paint. The Game Color range was launched as a direct alternative to GW's Citadel Paints and features a formula more suited to regular handling, but you should consider a coat of varnish regardless. The only thing of note is that the paint is not as hardy as wargaming paint as it was designed for show models, but this can be easily solved with a coat of clear coat or varnish to seal in protection. The Model Color range of paints contains color-matched paints for using on historical vehicles such as tank and are ideal for historical wargamers. The paints are water-based acrylics so, therefore, share many of the same characteristics. Paint the eye sockets with The Army Painter Matt Black or Abaddon Black or your favourite black paint, then add two dots of Vallejo Model Color White.

If you can’t get your hands on it, you can use Cadian Fleshtone. Vallejo is a Spanish company with a huge range of paints that caters to the traditional kit building hobbyist and to wargamers. Basecoat the flesh with a couple of thin layers of the old Citadel Foundation paint Tallarn Flesh. Citadel is not the only paint manufacturer with a range aimed at mini painters and hobbyists.
