Citadel Layer: Gorthor Brown (12ml) 
A warm mid-brown Layer paint made for smooth highlighting and natural-looking layering—great for leather, fur, wood, and earthy “grimdark” tones that need believable depth without going orange.
 
What it does
Built for crisp highlights and building up layers over Citadel Base paints.
Dries to a smooth matt finish for realistic cloth/leather/wood.
Water-based acrylic, easy to thin and glaze for soft transitions.
 
How to use
Basecoat first (dark brown/black-brown works best).
Thin slightly and apply 2–3 thin coats on raised areas (edges, fur tips, worn leather).
Optional: use it as a glaze to warm up grey-browns and unify weathered surfaces.
 
Best for
Leather straps, boots, pouches
Fur & hair highlights (natural, not cartoony)
Wood, weapon handles, terrain timber
Earthy midtones on cloaks and cloth

ChalkyDot Tip: For realistic leather, highlight with Gorthor Brown only on creases and corners, then add a tiny final highlight by mixing a touch of bone/off-white into it—instant “worn edge” look.
