Citadel Spray Paint: Death Guard Green 400ml

A Foundation Built for the Plague Host

Every Death Guard army begins with that unmistakable sickly green — and getting it right, consistently, across an entire force is where this spray earns its place in the hobby workflow. Citadel's Death Guard Green spray primer lays down a smooth, even base coat in a single pass, priming bare plastic and providing a paint-ready surface in the exact colour you need to start working on Plague Marines, Blightlord Terminators, Daemon Engines, and everything the Plague God commands. Spraying your models rather than brushing on a base coat saves significant time when working in batches — and the factory-matched colour means every model in the force starts from the same point.

How It Fits the Painting Workflow

This is a primer and base coat combined. Apply it directly to clean, dry plastic, resin, or metal miniatures before any other painting begins. The spray bonds to the model surface and creates the adhesion layer that subsequent Citadel paints — layers, shades, contrast, and technical — need to grip properly. Death Guard Green matches the Citadel Base paint of the same name, so colour continuity is seamless whether you're touching up by brush or moving into the layering stage. The 400ml can covers a substantial number of models at the standard hobby spray distance of roughly 20–25cm. Shake well before use, spray in short controlled bursts, and work in a well-ventilated area at room temperature — aerosol sprays are sensitive to cold and humidity, and applying in adverse conditions can affect finish quality.

Who Should Buy This

This spray is the go-to starting point for any hobbyist building a Death Guard collection in Warhammer 40,000. It's equally useful for experienced painters batch-coating an army efficiently and for newer hobbyists who want a solid, forgiving primer that removes one major decision from the painting process. The matched colour means even a minimal paint job — shade wash, edge highlight, done — produces a table-ready result with minimal effort. It also works on any model where this muted, desaturated green makes sense as a base, well beyond Death Guard specifically.
