Citadel XL Colour Painting Handle Warhammer Hobby Tool

Hold More, Paint Better

Getting a clean grip on a miniature while painting is one of those problems every hobbyist solves eventually — cork, tape, old paint pots, a spare hand from a patient friend. The Citadel XL Colour Painting Handle is Citadel's purpose-built answer, designed specifically for larger models and bases that the standard handle can't comfortably accommodate. A secure grip means steadier brushwork, less hand fatigue during longer sessions, and no more fingerprints on freshly painted armour panels.

What It Does

The XL Colour Painting Handle clamps onto larger bases and bulkier models — think monsters, vehicles, large character models, and anything on a 60mm base or bigger — giving you a stable, rotating grip while you work. The clamping mechanism holds the model firmly without damaging the base or any work already done, and the handle itself is sized to sit comfortably in a full hand grip for extended painting sessions. It pairs naturally with the standard Citadel Colour Painting Handle for painters who move between small infantry and large centrepiece models.

Who Should Pick This Up

Any painter who regularly works on larger models will feel the difference immediately. If your collection includes Warhammer 40,000 Dreadnoughts, monsters from Age of Sigmar, or any oversized centrepiece model, this handle removes the awkward juggling act that comes with trying to hold a big base steady while reaching for fine detail. It's equally useful across any miniature system — Warmachine warjacks, resin display pieces, or large-scale fantasy characters all benefit from a stable grip. New hobbyists investing in their first painting setup should consider a handle early; it's one of those tools that quietly improves every session once it's in the kit.
