Citadel Colour Base Jokaero Orange

Citadel Colour Base: Jokaero Orange

Citadel Colour Base: Jokaero Orange is a high-opacity acrylic paint designed to provide a solid, even foundation for your miniatures. As a Base paint, it features a high pigment concentration, allowing it to cover dark primers—even black—in just one or two thin coats. The color is a muted, earthy orange, making it the perfect starting point for bright fire effects, weathered machinery, or vibrant alien skin.

Key Features and Performance

• Superior Opacity: Specifically formulated to provide "flat" coverage over undercoats without the need for excessive layers.

• Smooth Matte Finish: Dries to a consistent, non-reflective finish that serves as an ideal surface for further layering and shading.

• Versatile Application: While designed for brushwork, it can be thinned with water or Lahmian Medium for smooth transitions and airbrushing.

• Multi-Surface Compatibility: Optimized for plastic, metal, and resin miniatures.

Common Warhammer Applications

Jokaero Orange is a staple for several iconic "Eavy Metal" paint schemes:

• Astra Militarum: Often used as the base for the orange jumpsuits of Cadian or Catachan pilots and specialized vehicle markings.

• Leagues of Votann: The primary base color for the Greater Thurian League armor plates.

• Tau Empire: A foundational color for the orange panels of the Sa'cea Sept or high-visibility sensor arrays.

• Fire & Lava Effects: Acts as the deep, "cool" orange foundation for painting magma, power blades, or the flames of Fyreslayers.

• Space Marines: Used for the heraldry of the Covenant of Fire or as a base for weathered copper/rust effects.
