Citadel Contrast: Kroxigor Scales (18ml)
A deep blue-green / teal Contrast paint that gives you basecoat + shading + highlights in one go—amazing for scales, hides, sea-monster skin, alien armor panels, and quick “wet” looking greens.
What it does
One-coat effect: darker in recesses, lighter on raised areas for instant depth.
Water-based acrylic formula for easy thinning and cleanup.
Great as a tint/glaze over light primers to push a saturated teal tone.
 
How to use
Prime with a light undercoat (Contrast-style priming).
Apply a generous coat and guide pooling away from flat panels before it dries.
Let dry fully; add a small edge highlight if you want extra crispness.
 
Best for
Scales, reptiles, amphibians, sea creatures
Teal armor, lenses/energy accents, alien flora
Speedpainting anything that needs “rich teal shadows” quickly

ChalkyDot Tip: For a slick “wet scales” look, apply Kroxigor Scales over a bright primer, then after it dries add a tiny selective gloss varnish on the deepest scales/recesses—instant moisture effect without making the whole model shiny.
