The Citadel Layer Paint in Kislev Flesh is an essential tool for miniature painters seeking to achieve realistic flesh tones and highlights in their modeling projects. This specialized layering paint is formulated to provide smooth, consistent coverage while maintaining the fine detail of your miniatures. Part of Games Workshop's renowned Citadel paint line, Kislev Flesh is specifically designed for the layering technique, allowing artists to build up subtle gradients and create depth in their paintwork.
This professional-grade acrylic paint comes in a 12ml pot featuring Citadel's distinctive design with a screw-top lid that helps prevent paint from drying out between uses. The paint's consistency is carefully balanced to achieve the perfect medium-bodied flow, making it ideal for layering applications while maintaining excellent control during detailed work.
Kislev Flesh presents as a warm, light flesh tone with subtle peachy undertones, making it particularly effective for highlighting human skin tones. When applied over darker base flesh colors, it creates natural-looking transitions that can be used to emphasize raised areas and create realistic skin texture. The paint's opacity is calibrated to allow for gradual building of color, enabling painters to achieve smooth blends and transitions.
The paint's water-based acrylic formulation ensures it adheres well to properly primed surfaces while maintaining brush stroke-free coverage. It can be thinned with water or appropriate paint medium for even more delicate applications, and it maintains its color stability once dried. The paint's pigment density provides excellent coverage while still allowing for precise control over transparency when thinned.
Kislev Flesh works exceptionally well in combination with other Citadel flesh tones, particularly as a highlighting layer over base colors like Bugman's Glow or Cadian Fleshtone. It can be further highlighted with lighter flesh tones or mixed with other colors to create custom flesh tone variations suited to different miniature painting projects.
This paint is perfect for:

Creating realistic flesh tone highlights
Building up gradual transitions in skin tones
Defining facial features and musculature
Adding warmth to raised areas of flesh-colored surfaces
Achieving smooth blends in portrait miniature painting
Detailed work on hands, faces, and other exposed skin areas

The paint dries to a durable, matte finish that's ideal for tabletop gaming pieces, display miniatures, and other modeling projects. Its consistency makes it suitable for both brush and airbrush application when properly thinned. The color remains stable even after drying and provides excellent coverage without obscuring the fine details of your miniatures.
