Citadel Colour Technical: Stormshield 
A tough, ultra-handy matte varnish that protects your finished miniatures from handling — without adding shine.
 
What it does
Protects your paintwork from wear and tear during play and transport.
Dries to a matt finish (great when you want cloth, parchment, leather, and bases to stay non-reflective).
Water-based formula designed for miniature painting.
 
How to use
Make sure your paint is fully dry.
Shake well, then apply a thin, even coat with a clean brush.
Avoid pooling (especially in recesses) — two thin coats are safer than one heavy coat.
Let it fully cure before heavy handling.
 
Best for: Tabletop minis that get handled a lot, plus any area you want matte and natural: cloaks, paper/scrolls, skulls/bone, terrain pieces, and bases.

ChalkyDot Tip: Use Stormshield to “kill the shine” on specific areas (like cloth and bases), and keep gloss varnish only for lenses/gems — the contrast makes both effects look better.
