Citadel Base: Phoenician Purple (12ml) 
A bold, regal royal purple Base paint with strong coverage—ideal when you want rich purple armor, cloth, or arcane accents that stay vibrant even after shading.
 
What it does
Lays down a solid basecoat thanks to a high pigment count (great coverage).
Dries to a smooth matt finish for clean, consistent colour.
Built for the classic workflow: Base → Shade → Layer.
 
How to use
Prime your model (black for deeper shadows, light primer for brighter purple).
Apply 1–2 thin coats for the best finish.
Shade the recesses, then highlight with lighter purples or lilac-greys for crisp edges.
 
Best for
Royal purple cloth, armor panels, banners
Sorcerers, Drukhari/Eldar themes, vampiric or “night magic” schemes
Undercoating areas you’ll later push toward magenta or bright violet

ChalkyDot Tip: If you want a super vibrant purple, base with Phoenician Purple, then do a quick mid-layer of a brighter violet on raised areas before shading—your shadows stay deep, but the purple never dulls.
