Wraithbone Base Paint from Citadel's renowned paint line offers miniature painters and hobbyists a premium warm ivory foundation color that's essential for achieving professional-quality results. This carefully formulated base coat paint provides excellent coverage and a smooth finish, making it perfect for establishing a light, neutral starting point for your miniature painting projects.
The paint features a rich, creamy consistency that's specially designed to adhere well to properly primed surfaces while maintaining fine detail on your miniatures. Its warm ivory tone has subtle beige undertones that create a more natural and organic appearance compared to stark white bases. This makes Wraithbone particularly effective for painting flesh tones, bone structures, desert-themed bases, and light-colored armor or clothing.
Each 12ml pot comes with Citadel's distinctive flip-top lid design that helps prevent paint spillage and extends the paint's shelf life by reducing air exposure. The paint's formulation is water-based and non-toxic, making it safe for use while being easy to thin and clean up with water.
Wraithbone excels as a versatile base color that works exceptionally well with both warm and cool color schemes. It's particularly valuable for:

Creating realistic bone and ivory effects
Establishing a warm foundation for flesh tones
Painting desert-dwelling creatures and terrain
Achieving an aged parchment look
Basecoating light-colored armor and clothing
Developing weathered stone effects

The paint's consistency is optimized for brush application, providing smooth coverage without obscuring the fine details of your miniatures. It can be easily thinned with water for use in an airbrush, making it versatile for various application methods. When properly applied, Wraithbone creates a surface that readily accepts subsequent layers of paint, washes, and glazes.
For best results, apply Wraithbone to a properly primed surface in thin, even coats. The paint typically achieves full coverage in 2-3 thin layers, allowing you to maintain the crisp details of your miniatures while establishing a solid foundation for additional painting techniques.
This paint is compatible with all major miniature paint brands and works seamlessly within the Citadel paint system, particularly complementing Contrast paints and shades. The warm ivory tone serves as an excellent alternative to traditional white bases, offering more depth and character to your final paint schemes.
