Citadel Colour Technical: Soulstone Blue (12ml)
Glassy, transparent blue “gem paint” — slap it over a bright metallic base and you instantly get deep, jewel-like stones and glossy lenses.
 
What it does
Paints realistic gems and helmet lenses fast (made specifically for that effect).
Glossy finish that adds depth and shine in one go.
Water-based formula designed for miniatures (plastic, resin, and metal).
 
How to use
Basecoat the gem/lens area with a very bright metallic (silver is ideal).
Apply Soulstone Blue in a smooth coat and don’t overwork it while drying.
For a deeper “crystal” look, add a second thin coat once fully dry.
Optional: add a tiny dot highlight (off-white) for maximum sparkle.
 
Best for
Eldar gems
Armour lenses
Arcane crystals
Psychic effects
Buttons/dials, and any detail you want to look like glowing blue glass.

ChalkyDot Tip: If the gem looks dull, the problem is almost always the base — go brighter metallic (even a highlight of silver) and the blue will suddenly look like real glass.
