Citadel Base: Averland Sunset 12ml is a high‑quality acrylic base paint from Games Workshop, designed to give a strong, vibrant yellow‑orange foundation on your miniatures and models. As part of the Citadel Base range, it offers high pigment density and excellent coverage, creating a smooth, matte surface that is perfect for subsequent layers and shading.

This citadel paint is formulated for fast and efficient miniature painting, allowing you to apply an even coat with a brush while preserving the finest sculpted details. Averland Sunset works especially well as a base paint for yellow colour schemes such as power armour, heraldry, banners or other high‑impact details on Warhammer 40K and Age of Sigmar armies. The warm tone of this yellow miniature paint helps it cover better than many pale yellows, reducing the number of coats you need.

Being an acrylic paint, Citadel Base Averland Sunset dries quickly and is easy to thin with water or acrylic medium for precise control. The matte finish improves the adhesion of later Layer and Shade paints, helping you create smooth transitions, deep recess shading and crisp highlights. Whether you are just starting in the wargaming hobby or are already an experienced painter, this colour is a reliable workhorse in your palette.
