This 18ml pot of Citadel Shade Druchii Violet™ is a premium acrylic paint specifically formulated for creating depth and dimension on your Warhammer 40,000 miniatures, particularly those of the Emperor's Children Legion. The translucent purple wash effortlessly settles into recessed areas of your models, creating realistic shadows and enhancing surface details with minimal effort.
Manufactured by Games Workshop, this specialized shade paint allows you to achieve professional-quality results even as a beginner painter. The distinctive purple hue is particularly well-suited for Emperor's Children Space Marines, whose lavender and gold color scheme is iconic within the Warhammer 40K universe. A single application of Druchii Violet over a base coat instantly adds depth, definition, and a touch of the decadent aesthetic that characterizes this Chaos Legion.
The convenient 18ml pot features Citadel's signature flip-top lid design with a built-in seal that helps prevent paint drying and spillage. The specialized formulation offers excellent coverage and flow characteristics, allowing the purple pigment to naturally seek out recessed areas while maintaining its vibrant color intensity when dry.
Perfect for creating shadows on Emperor's Children armor panels, defining the intricate details of ornate weapons and equipment, or adding a royal purple tint to parchments and cloth elements of your miniatures. Druchii Violet also works excellently on flesh tones to create bruising effects or unhealthy skin tones for your Chaos-corrupted units.
Beyond Emperor's Children, this versatile shade works wonderfully on a variety of other Warhammer armies and color schemes. Use it to add depth to gold metallics, create rich shadows on white or cream-colored surfaces, or enhance the alien appearance of Tyranid bioforms. It's equally effective on fantasy miniatures from Warhammer Age of Sigmar, particularly for Aelves and undead units.
The water-based acrylic formulation ensures easy cleanup with just soap and water, and the paint can be thinned with water or Citadel's specialized medium for various effects. For best results, apply Druchii Violet after your base colors and before highlighting stages in your painting process.
Each pot provides enough shade paint for dozens of miniatures, offering excellent value for dedicated hobbyists. The paint maintains its consistency when properly stored, with the specialized pot design helping to extend its shelf life compared to older paint containers.
Part of Citadel's comprehensive painting system, Druchii Violet works seamlessly with their base paints, layer paints, and technical effects to create cohesive, stunning miniatures. The shade's unique formulation allows for controlled application, reducing the risk of pooling or tide marks that can plague lesser quality washes.
For Emperor's Children collectors, this shade is considered an essential part of the painting toolkit, allowing you to achieve the distinctive royal purple hues that characterize this fallen Space Marine Legion. Whether you're painting Noise Marines, Chaos Lords, or specialized units, Druchii Violet helps capture the decadent and corrupted aesthetic of Slaanesh's chosen warriors.
