Citadel Layer: Runefang Steel (12ml)
A bright silver metallic Layer paint made for crisp edge highlights and clean “top shine” on weapons, armour, and metal details—perfect when you want steel to look sharp and reflective, not flat.
 
What it does
Designed for building up layers and highlighting metallics (especially edges and raised details).
Gives a realistic metallic finish that reads as clean steel on the tabletop.
Water-based acrylic (easy cleanup, easy control).
 
How to use
Paint your metal basecoat first (darker steel/iron tones work great).
Apply Runefang Steel on edges, corners, rivets, and raised scratches.
For a “chrome pop,” add tiny spot highlights on the sharpest points only.
 
Best for
Sword edges, axe heads, gun barrels, chainmail, armour trim
Quick “battle-worn” steel (highlight only the worn zones)

ChalkyDot Tip: The fastest realistic steel recipe is dark metal base → shade → Runefang Steel edge highlight. Keep highlights thin—small bright lines look more reflective than thick ones.
