{"product_id":"citadel-contrast-paint-pot-leviathan-purple","title":"Citadel Contrast Paint Pot: Leviathan Purple","description":"\u003ch2\u003eOne Coat, Two Steps Done\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeviathan Purple is a Citadel Contrast paint — and if you haven't painted with Contrast before, the effect the first time is genuinely surprising. Apply it over a light undercoat of Grey Seer or Wraithbone, and the paint does two jobs at once: it lays down a rich, vivid purple base coat while simultaneously flowing into the recesses to create natural-looking shadow and depth. No layering, no wash on top, no blending required. You go from bare primed plastic to a table-ready model faster than any traditional painting method allows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLeviathan Purple in Your Paint Workflow\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a deep, saturated purple with strong colour presence — rich enough for robes, armour panels, energy effects, and skin tones on certain alien or undead models. It reads as a genuine finished colour rather than a tint, which is what separates Contrast from a simple wash. The shading effect is automatic: the paint's formulation pulls thinner in raised areas and pools in recesses, giving the illusion of careful highlight and shadow work without the technique. A 18ml pot covers a solid number of models — apply it with a broad brush over large flat areas, or use a smaller detail brush to control placement on complex surfaces. For best results, always prime with Grey Seer (lighter, cooler result) or Wraithbone (warmer, more golden undertone) — the Contrast formula depends on a light undercoat to work correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho Should Pick This Up\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eContrast paints are the single most beginner-friendly product in the Citadel range. If you're new to miniature painting and want models that look genuinely good on the tabletop without investing dozens of hours into technique, a set of Contrast paints over a spray primer is the fastest path to a painted army. Leviathan Purple specifically is a go-to colour for Space Marines in purple livery, Chaos warriors, robed cultists, Tzeentchian models, and a wide range of fantasy miniatures. Experienced painters reach for Contrast paints as speed-painting tools for rank-and-file troops, freeing up time for careful work on centrepiece models. The 18ml pot is the standard Citadel size and fits any Citadel paint rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCitadel (Games Workshop)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaint Name\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLeviathan Purple\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaint Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eContrast\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePot Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSatin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApplication\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrush\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Games Workshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44274806390872,"sku":"21145201","price":8.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/4980\/8728\/files\/s-l1600_6c70698b-f8a2-4061-af59-ff1b7b66f421.jpg?v=1782342069","url":"https:\/\/borealgaming.com\/products\/citadel-contrast-paint-pot-leviathan-purple","provider":"Boreal Gaming \u0026 Cards","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
