Citadel Base Paint: Leadbelcher (12ml) - Premium Metallic Miniature Paint for Warhammer, Tabletop Games & Model Painting

Citadel Base Paint: Leadbelcher (12ml) is the ultimate foundation for achieving authentic metallic finishes on your miniatures and models. This premium base paint from Games Workshop's renowned Citadel paint line delivers a rich, gunmetal silver finish with exceptional coverage and durability.
Specially formulated for Warhammer 40K, Age of Sigmar, and other tabletop miniatures, Leadbelcher creates the perfect metallic base for swords, armor, machinery, and mechanical components. The high-pigment concentration ensures superior coverage even on unpainted plastic, resin, or metal miniatures, allowing you to quickly establish a realistic metallic foundation with minimal coats.
Leadbelcher features Citadel's signature water-based acrylic formula that balances smooth application with excellent durability. The paint flows consistently from your brush with minimal streaking, making it accessible for painters of all skill levels. Its balanced viscosity prevents unwanted pooling in recessed details while maintaining exceptional pigment density for true metallic shine.
The convenient 12ml pot features Citadel's distinctive hexagonal design with secure flip-top lid, preventing spills while keeping your paint fresh for longer periods. The clear container allows for easy color identification, and the wide mouth facilitates brush access for both detail work and larger basecoating sessions.
As part of Citadel's Base paint range, Leadbelcher is specifically designed to provide opaque coverage on primed surfaces, creating the perfect foundation for your painting projects. This versatile metallic can be used alone for a battle-worn metal look or as the starting point for more complex metal effects when combined with Citadel Shade paints like Nuln Oil or Agrax Earthshade, and highlighted with paints like Runefang Steel or Stormhost Silver.
Leadbelcher's authentic gunmetal finish makes it ideal for:

Power armor and weapons in Warhammer 40K
Stormcast Eternal armor and weapons in Age of Sigmar
Mechanical elements in steampunk miniatures
Robotic components and cybernetic enhancements
Vehicle chassis, engines, and exposed machinery
Medieval armor, weapons, and chainmail in fantasy miniatures
Industrial terrain pieces and scenery elements

This paint integrates seamlessly with Citadel's complete painting system, allowing for perfect compatibility with their Contrast, Layer, Shade, Technical, and Dry paints. The consistent formulation ensures predictable results when following Citadel's recommended painting techniques and tutorials.
Elevate your miniature painting with the reliability and professional quality that has made Citadel the preferred choice for miniature painters worldwide. Leadbelcher provides the essential metallic foundation that brings your models to life with authentic, battle-ready metal surfaces that catch the light realistically on the tabletop.
