Wraith Bone Citadel Colour Spray Primer Paint

Start With the Right Foundation

Every great paint job begins before a single brush touches the model. Wraithbone is one of Citadel's most versatile spray primers — a warm off-white base coat that primes bare plastic, resin, and metal in a single pass and doubles as a first colour layer. It's the go-to undercoat for Citadel Contrast paints, where the light, warm tone allows those semi-transparent colours to glow with depth and richness rather than sink into grey. Spray it on, let it cure for a few minutes, and your models are ready to paint.

What This Paint Does

Wraithbone Spray is a primer and base coat in one. Applied straight from the can, it coats miniatures evenly, grips the surface so subsequent paint layers bond properly, and provides a consistent warm neutral tone to build on. It works across all miniature painting approaches — traditional layered techniques, Contrast paint speed-painting workflows, or any combination of the two. The aerosol format makes it fast for batch-priming entire units or squads at once, and the Citadel formula is tuned specifically for hobby-scale plastic models, minimising obscuring of fine surface detail.

Who It's For

New painters will find Wraithbone an excellent first primer — it's forgiving, dries quickly, and pairs beautifully with Citadel Contrast paints for a fast, satisfying result on early models. Experienced painters reach for it when working on armies where warm highlights or bone-toned armour are part of the scheme — Aeldari, undead, Stormcast Eternals, and a dozen other factions look outstanding over a Wraithbone base. It's equally at home on Warhammer 40,000 models, Age of Sigmar miniatures, or any plastic or metal wargaming figure from any manufacturer. This listing includes two sealed cans.
