Games Workshop Citadel Base Retributor Armour Base Paint is an acrylic paint for basecoating miniatures. It is described as specially formulated for basecoating miniatures and for giving a smooth matte finish over black or white undercoats.
For buyers comparing paints, the key checks are the exact paint range, the intended application and whether the finish matches the look you want on your miniatures.
What to Compare Before Buying
- Paint type: This is an acrylic paint, so compare it with the type of finish and application you prefer for miniature work.
- Use: It is intended for basecoating miniatures, so make sure that matches the stage of your painting process.
- Finish: The stated finish is smooth and matte, which matters if you want a flat look rather than a glossy one.
