Citadel Contrast: Basilicanum Grey (18ml) is a versatile, dark grey paint formulated for Games Workshop’s Contrast range. This colour provides strong midtone coverage while allowing shadows and highlights to form naturally, making it ideal for quickly painting stone, armour, robes, weapons, terrain, and more with depth and texture in a single coat.

When applied over a light undercoat like Grey Seer or Wraithbone, Basilicanum Grey flows into the recesses of a miniature, creating shaded areas while leaving raised surfaces lighter. The result is a dynamic, high-contrast look that replicates the effects of layering and washing — without the need for multiple steps. The deep, neutral grey tone makes it perfect for gothic and grimdark aesthetics, particularly in Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar settings.

This paint is ideal for speed painting large batches of models, such as Necromunda gangs, Imperial ruins, skeletal armies, or industrial wargear. It can also serve as a base for more complex weathering, highlighting, or metallic overlays. Basilicanum Grey is equally useful for fantasy, sci-fi, and historical themes where a strong grey foundation is required.
