Citadel Colour Layer: Hashut Copper

Citadel Colour Layer: Hashut Copper is heavily associated with the darker, industrial-style metallics of Warhammer Age of Sigmar and Warhammer 40,000. While it is a versatile metallic, it is most famously the namesake and primary metallic for the Chaos Dwarfs (the Legion of Azgorh).

Primary Faction Uses

• Helsmiths of Hashut (Chaos Dwarfs): This is the definitive paint for the followers of the Bullfather. It is used to paint their forged-iron armor, brass bulls, and fire-tempered machinery. It specifically creates the "brazen" look that defines their warmachines and elite infantry.

• Khorne Armies: In both 40k and Age of Sigmar, it is frequently used for the bronze trim on World Eaters Space Marines or the brass collars and weapons of Khorne Berzerkers. It provides a slightly more "worn" and reddish-gold look than traditional golds.

• Chaos Space Marines: It is an excellent choice for the chaotic, weathered metal trim on Chaos Terminators or Forgefiends, especially when layered over a darker base like Balthasar Gold.

• Necrons: It is sometimes used for a more aged, "bronzed" look on Necron dynasties (like the Szarekhan Dynasty) to highlight joints and internal wires against darker silver body plating.

Specific Models & Details

• War Despots & Helsmiths: Used for the intricate engravings and bull-head iconography.

• Steam-Powered Machinery: Perfect for the pistons and boiler plates on models like the Iron Daemon or Magma Cannon.

• Weapon Highlights: Many painters use it to highlight the hilts of swords or the decorative casings of ornate weaponry across various Imperial and Chaos models.
