Citadel Base: The Fang (12ml)
A cool, desaturated blue-grey Base paint with strong coverage—perfect for Space Wolves-style armour, stormy cloth, cold stone, and any scheme that needs a solid “winter” foundation without going full blue.
 
What it does
Gives a solid basecoat thanks to a high pigment count (great coverage).
Dries to a smooth matt finish, ideal for clean layering and highlighting.
A reliable “cold neutral” for armour panels, cloth, and terrain details.
 
How to use
Prime your model.
Apply 1–2 thin coats for an even, smooth finish.
Shade recesses for depth, then layer up highlights with lighter greys/blues for crisp edges.
 
Best for
Space Wolves / winter armour schemes
Cold stone, slate, ruins, and gritty blue-grey cloth
Undercoating areas you’ll later push toward brighter blue highlights

ChalkyDot Tip: For instant “cold steel” vibes, base The Fang, then do a thin dark wash in recesses and edge-highlight with a lighter grey—your armour reads sharp and frosty from tabletop distance.
