Citadel Colour Technical: Waystone Green (12ml)
A glossy, transparent green that turns a bright metallic base into instant emerald gems and shiny helmet lenses — fast, clean, and super satisfying.
 
What it does
Paints realistic gems and helmet lenses with a simple “metallic base + one coat” approach.
Glossy finish for that glassy, jewel-like shine.
Water-based formula, made for miniature surfaces.
 
How to use
Basecoat the gem/lens area with a very bright metallic silver (this step is key for the effect).
Apply Waystone Green in a smooth coat and let it settle—avoid brushing it repeatedly while it dries.
For deeper colour, add a second thin coat once the first is fully dry.
Optional: add a tiny off-white dot highlight to sell the “glass” look (especially on lenses).
 
Best for
Eldar/Aeldari gems, Necron or arcane “power crystals”
Potion bottles, helmet lenses, buttons/dials, and magical artefacts.
