Citadel: Contrast Asurmen Blue (18Ml)

I finally tried this on some Space Marine shoulder pads and the coverage is incredible—one thin coat gave me a vibrant, even blue. Dries fast enough that I was painting the next layer in under a minute.

I was worried this blue might be too dark, but it's actually a perfect, vibrant tone that really pops on space marine armor. The 18ml pot is enough for several squads, and the consistency is just right for covering details without pooling.

The way this blue flows straight out of the pot is almost unfair—it settles into the recesses and leaves the raised bits clean with zero extra effort. One coat over a white base gave me the exact rich, saturated look I wanted. It’s easily the smoothest contrast paint I’ve used so far.
