The Purest Foundation
The Secret to Smooth, Solid White Coverage.
Painting white is one of the most challenging skills in the hobby, but Corax White is designed to make it simple. As a Base paint, it is formulated with a unique off-white pigment that offers much better opacity than traditional pure whites. It provides a solid, flat foundation that allows you to build up bright highlights without the chalky, streaky finish that often plagues white paint schemes.
Why Corax White is a Hobby Essential
Incredible Opacity: Where many white paints require five or six layers to cover a dark primer, Corax White can often achieve a solid coat in just two thin layers.
The Perfect Off-White Tone: It has a very slight grey/eggshell undertone. This is vital because it allows you to use a pure white (like White Scar) as an edge highlight, giving your models a sense of volume and depth.
The "White Scars" & "Tau" Standard: Whether you are painting the lightning-fast 5th Legion or the clean, high-tech aesthetics of the Vior'la Sept, this is the mandatory starting point for a crisp, professional look.
Universal Undercoat Touch-up: Corax White is the perfect match for the Corax White Spray. If you miss a spot or make a mistake while painting over a white-primed model, this pot is your "eraser" to fix the error seamlessly.
How to Master Corax White
Thin with Precision: White pigments are physically larger than other colors. To keep your finish smooth, thin Corax White with a little more water or Lahmian Medium than usual on your palette.
The "Soft Shade" Technique: Once your base coat is down, use a thinned wash of Soulblight Grey or Apothecary White Contrast paint. This will settle in the recesses to create realistic shadows while keeping the flat surfaces looking bright.
The Final Highlight: To make the model truly "pop," apply a final edge highlight of a pure white. This contrast between the off-white base and the bright white edge creates the illusion of a brilliant, clean surface.
