Citadel Contrast: Warp Lightning (18ml) – 2019
A vivid toxic/warp green Contrast that gives you basecoat + shading + highlights in one coat—perfect for energy effects, glowing tech, slime, and fast “radioactive” greens that still keep details sharp.
 
What it does
One-coat Contrast effect: settles darker in recesses and lighter on raised areas for instant depth.
Water-based acrylic formula in an 18ml pot.
Designed to be applied over a light Contrast undercoat (Grey Seer / Wraithbone style workflow).
 
How to use
Prime with a light undercoat for best vibrancy.
Apply a generous, even coat and guide pooling away from flat areas before it dries.
Let it dry fully, then add a small edge highlight (or a lighter green/yellow) if you want extra “glow.”
 
Best for
Warp/poison energy, plasma coils, magical runes, lenses
Slime, ooze, mutant skin, alien plants
Speedpainting armies that need a strong green accent fast
 
Key details
Range: Citadel Contrast Paints
Pot size: 18ml
 
ChalkyDot Tip: For a quick “glow” illusion, paint Warp Lightning over a very bright undercoat, then add a tiny off-white dot at the brightest point (center of a coil/rune). Your eye reads it as light instantly.
