Citadel Spray Primer Death Guard Green | Smooth, Even Base Coat for Miniatures

Overview

Citadel Spray Primer Death Guard Green offers a ready-to-paint foundation for your miniatures. The spray releases a fine, even mist that settles into crevices and details, creating a smooth base without masking fine features. The Death Guard Green shade provides a rich, versatile starting point for armor, weapons, and organic accents on plague-themed models or any project that benefits from a deep green undercoat.

Why this primer stands out

• Velvety matte finish helps colors sit evenly and reduces brush mark visibility
• Fast-drying formula so you can move on to shading and layering sooner
• Excellent adhesion on plastic, resin, and metal surfaces
• Green base undercoat enhances depth and future color tone
• Thin, controllable spray with minimal overspray for consistent coverage
• Suitable for layering and edge highlighting after priming

In real-world hobby sessions, a reliable base coat matters. This primer helps you maintain detail clarity while establishing a uniform platform for color shifts, washes, and highlights. The subtle green undertone can serve as a thematic foundation for Death Guard-inspired schemes or as a neutral starting point for camouflage and tactical tones.

Application guidance

• Shake the can well—about a minute—to remix pigments and ensure even flow
• Spray from a comfortable distance, roughly 8–12 inches, using smooth, sweeping motions
• Apply several light coats rather than one heavy layer to avoid runs

Ventilation matters: use in a well-ventilated area and protect surrounding surfaces. After the surface dries, you’ll have a steady base ready for color layers, washes, and edge details without compromising surface texture.

Color use and versatility

The Death Guard Green base is a thematic starting point for plague-era armies or green-tinted camouflage schemes. It can also function as a flexible foundation for a wide range of painting approaches, from bold contrasts to muted, lore-inspired tones.
