Citadel Colour: Technical - Lahmian Medium

🌫️✨ Citadel Colour: Technical – Lahmian Medium

Lahmian Medium is the go‑to matte thinning medium for Citadel paints, perfect for creating smooth blends, soft glazes, and subtle transitions. It thins your paints without making them chalky or streaky, and it dries to a flat, even matte finish that keeps colors looking clean and controlled.

⭐ Core Takeaway

A matte thinning medium that smooths paint flow, softens transitions, and preserves pigment quality.

🎨 What It Does

• Thins acrylic paints while keeping pigment stable

• Creates glazes for gentle color shifts and highlights

• Smooths blends on armor panels, cloaks, skin, and gradients

• Reduces brush marks for cleaner finishes

• Matte finish prevents unwanted shine

🖌️ Why Painters Love It

Lahmian Medium is a staple for hobbyists who want precision and control. It’s perfect for edge highlights, subtle shading, layering, and any technique where water alone would break the paint or leave tide marks. Painters use it to make their own custom washes, soften harsh colors, or achieve buttery‑smooth blends.
