Citadel Shade: Druchii Violet (18ml) – 2022
A deep purple wash that flows into recesses to create natural-looking depth and shadow—perfect for shading purples, enriching metals, and adding a sinister “arcane” tone to cloth, skin, and armour details.
 
What it does
Settles into crevices to draw out details with realistic shading.
Dries with a smooth matt finish (great for cloth, skin, and grimdark looks).
Water-based formula in an 18ml pot.
 
How to use
Paint your base colours and let them dry.
Apply Druchii Violet so it flows into recesses.
If it pools on flat areas, wick away excess with a clean brush.
Let it fully dry before re-layering or highlighting.
 
Best for
Purple armour/cloth (Drukhari, sorcerers, vampires, “night” themes)
Adding depth to silver and gold metallics (instant rich tint)
Shading pale skin for bruised/cold undertones and arcane glow setups

Range: Citadel Shade Paints

ChalkyDot Tip: Use Druchii Violet as a “filter” on metals—shade a bright silver lightly, then re-highlight the edges. You’ll get that elegant purple-tinted steel without losing the shine.
