Citadel Layer: Tau Light Ochre (12ml)
A warm, dusty ochre/yellow-tan Layer paint made for smooth layering and crisp highlights—perfect for T’au armour panels, desert cloth, leather, bone-adjacent highlights, and sandy terrain tones.
 
What it does
Layer paint with a lighter pigment load than Base paints—meant for multiple thin coats to build smooth transitions.
Great for edge highlighting and picking out raised details cleanly.
Dries to a smooth matt finish.
 
How to use
Apply over your basecoat (browns, khakis, ochres, or military greens work great underneath).
Thin slightly and apply 2–3 thin layers on raised areas and edges for the cleanest result.
For dusty weathering, lightly glaze it on lower legs, boots, or vehicle edges.
 
Best for
T’au themes and clean sci-fi armour highlights
Desert / sandy schemes, leather straps, cloth highlights
Terrain details: sandbags, dusted rubble, dry earth accents

ChalkyDot Tip: Want instant “sun-faded” cloth? Highlight with Tau Light Ochre on the upper folds only, then add a tiny final spot highlight by mixing a touch of Screaming Skull into it for that dusty, realistic pop.
