Citadel Base: Screaming Bell (12ml) 
A warm copper/bronze metallic Base paint designed for strong coverage—ideal for antique bronze armor, Skaven tech, grimdark trim, and any metallic you want to shade down into rich, dirty shadows.
 
What it does
Gives a solid basecoat (Base paints are formulated with a high pigment count for coverage).
Leaves a realistic metallic finish that’s great as a first step before washes and highlights.
Works perfectly for copper/bronze looks and “aged metal” schemes.
 
How to use
Shake well and apply 1–2 thin coats over a primed surface.
Shade to add depth (brown/black washes make it look instantly older).
Highlight edges with a brighter metallic for crisp definition.
 
Best for
Bronze/copper trim, weapons, icons, rivets
Ancient relic metals, Skaven machinery, grimdark metallic panels
Terrain bits: pipes, machinery, rusty industrial details

ChalkyDot Tip: For instant “aged bronze,” base Screaming Bell, then shade it, then re-pick only the sharpest edges with a brighter metal—your bronze stays rich and readable from tabletop distance.
