Citadel Base: Corvus Black is a smooth, dark grey-black acrylic paint from Games Workshop’s Base range, designed to deliver strong coverage and solid colour with just one or two coats. Ideal for undercoating, blocking in base layers, or painting areas that require a rich, neutral black tone with a slightly softer edge than true black, Corvus Black is a versatile addition to any hobbyist’s paint collection.

This colour sits between black and dark grey, making it perfect for painting fatigues, boots, weapons, mechanical details, or armour on Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar miniatures. Its neutral tone also makes it an excellent foundation for highlighting or layering up to lighter greys, creating depth without the harshness of absolute black.

As part of the Citadel Base range, Corvus Black is formulated with a high pigment concentration and a thicker consistency to ensure smooth, even coverage over both light and dark surfaces. It’s ideal for establishing bold, durable layers that maintain fine sculpted detail, and works well alongside shades like Nuln Oil or highlights such as Dawnstone or Administratum Grey.
