Warhammer Colour Base: Ionrach Skin 12ml

Ionrach Skin is a soft, pale sea-green that sits somewhere between bone and cool teal — brilliant for Idoneth Deepkin flesh, ghostly skin tones and pale, washed-out schemes that need a gentle starting point. As a base it lays down opaque and even, so you're not fighting patchy coverage before the fun bits begin.

At a glance

Best for

• Laying a solid, opaque foundation in one or two coats
• Blocking in pale skin, spectral tones and light schemes
• Taking layer highlights and shade washes cleanly over the top

Get it down early and the rest of the model builds faster — highlights and washes read far better over a smooth, even base.

Get it down early and the whole model builds faster. Fill out your base paints, then move up through the layer range — and grab a brush while you're here.
