Corax White, a premium base paint from Citadel's comprehensive painting range, represents a crucial foundation layer for miniature painters and hobbyists seeking professional-quality results. This specially formulated base paint provides exceptional coverage and a smooth, even finish that creates the perfect canvas for subsequent layers.
As a base paint, Corax White is specifically engineered with a higher pigment concentration than standard paints, ensuring superior opacity and coverage even over darker surfaces. The paint features a carefully balanced consistency that maintains excellent flow characteristics while delivering robust coverage in fewer coats, saving both time and material during your painting process.
The paint comes in Citadel's distinctive 12ml pot design, featuring their innovative flip-top lid that includes a sealed rim to prevent paint from drying out between uses. The wide-mouth design allows easy access for brushes of various sizes, while the stable base prevents accidental spills during painting sessions.
Corax White serves as an ideal starting point for numerous painting techniques and color schemes. It's particularly effective for:

Creating clean, bright color schemes
Establishing highlighted areas that will be built up with layers
Providing a neutral foundation for true color accuracy in subsequent layers
Achieving smooth transitions in zenithal highlighting techniques
Base coating larger model surfaces efficiently

The paint's formulation includes high-quality acrylic resins that provide excellent adhesion to plastic, resin, and metal miniatures. When properly applied, it creates a durable foundation that resists chipping and maintains its stability under additional paint layers. The paint's consistency is optimized for both brush and airbrush application, though thinning may be required for airbrush use.
For best results, shake the pot thoroughly before use and apply in thin, even coats, allowing each layer to dry completely before adding subsequent coats. The paint's working time allows for smooth application without drying too quickly on the palette, while still maintaining relatively quick drying times on the model itself.
This white base paint is essential for painters working on armies or collections requiring bright, clean finishes, such as space marines, eldar, or any models featuring predominantly light color schemes. It's also invaluable for creating contrast with darker colors and establishing volumetric lighting effects.
The paint is compatible with all major miniature paint ranges and can be easily mixed with other Citadel paints to create custom base colors. It responds well to both traditional and advanced painting techniques, making it a versatile addition to any painter's collection.
