Citadel Layer - Altdorf Guard Blau - 12ml

Citadel Layer – Altdorf Guard Blue (12ml)

Altdorf Guard Blue is a rich, deep blue hue from the Citadel Layer paint range. This colour is designed to build up colour over a basecoat and is ideal for creating smooth transitions and bright highlights on blue surfaces. Thanks to its fine pigment structure, the paint can be easily applied in thin layers without losing the details of your miniature.

This colour is widely used for painting blue armour, fabric elements, and iconic colour schemes such as those of various Space Marine Chapters.

Ideal for layering and colour building

Citadel Layer paints are specially developed to build up colour in a controlled manner. Altdorf Guard Blue is perfect for applying a lighter blue tone over a darker basecoat, thus creating depth and contrast on armour panels, cloaks, or shields.

By applying multiple thin layers, you can create a fluid transition between dark and lighter shades. This makes the paint particularly suitable for techniques such as layering and edge highlighting.

Versatile in various paint schemes

Altdorf Guard Blue is a very versatile colour that can be used in many different projects. The deep blue hue works excellently on power armour, heraldry, weapons, and fabric components of miniatures.

Additionally, this colour is also suitable for magical energy effects, banners, and other decorative details where a powerful blue colour is desired.

User-friendly hobby paint

The paint comes in the familiar Citadel 12ml paint pot and has a consistent formula that works well with a brush. The paint is easy to thin with water or medium and can therefore also be used for techniques such as glazing and soft colour transitions.

Altdorf Guard Blue fits perfectly within the Citadel Colour system and combines well with other Citadel paints for building complete colour schemes.
