Citadel Layer - Genestealer Purple - 12ml

Citadel Layer – Genestealer Purple

Genestealer Purple is a vibrant purple hue from the Citadel Colour system, designed for building up highlights and colour variation on purple surfaces. This Layer paint brings extra brightness and contrast to your miniatures and is ideal for adding depth and vibrancy to armour, fabrics, and organic details.

Ideal for purple highlights
Layer paints have a thinner consistency than Base paints and are developed to be applied in multiple thin coats. Genestealer Purple is often used as a highlight over darker purple shades such as Xereus Purple. By gradually building up the colour, you create smooth transitions and bright accents without losing the fine details of the model.

Perfect for Tyranids, cults, and magical effects
This striking purple hue comes into its own on armour panels, tentacles, chitin, and robes. As a result, Genestealer Purple is particularly popular with Tyranid armies, Genestealer Cults, and other models with organic or alien colour schemes. This colour is also a strong choice for magical energy, runes, and arcane effects.

Smooth paint for precise painting
Thanks to its smooth acrylic formula, Genestealer Purple is easy to thin and apply precisely. This makes it ideal for edge highlights, detail work, and refining colour transitions. The paint dries quickly and adheres well to plastic, resin, and metal miniatures.
