Warhammer - Citadel Colour: Contrast Asurmen Blue 29-59
Contrast paints combine the high flow of a Shade paint with the intense colour density and adhesion of a Layer paint, allowing miniatures to be painted quickly and efficiently with a single coat. Asurmen Blue is ideal for deep, cool blue tones and is particularly well suited for armour, fabrics, cloaks, vehicles, energy effects, as well as classic Space Marine or chapter colour schemes. The paint creates clean contrasts and instantly adds depth and definition to models.
Contrast paints function as both base colour and shade, automatically enhancing details and significantly simplifying the painting process. When applied over metallic paints, Asurmen Blue alters the colour tone without obscuring the metallic finish, making it ideal for enhanced armour or energy-charged weapons.
For best results, light primers are recommended. Wraithbone, White Scar, and Grey Seer are especially suitable, as they optimally support the transparency and excellent flow properties of Contrast paints.
