Citadel Base Rhinox Hide (12ml)

If you're looking for a deep, natural brown tone for miniatures, Citadel Base Rhinox Hide 12ml is a very versatile base. The color is suitable for leather, wood, earth, fabrics, and many other areas where a dark, earthy character is desired. As a base color, it provides a solid start on the model and helps to build up later layers cleanly. This tone is especially useful for tabletop projects with warm, natural color schemes.

Rhinox Hide makes the most sense when you want to convey not just color but also a sense of material on your models. Many hobbyists choose this brown when leather, boots, belts, wooden parts, or earthy surfaces need a believable base. The color is dark enough to add depth but remains noticeably warmer than black. This allows you to build up many projects more easily and complement them with additional tones.

Brown shades are often underestimated in the hobby, even though they serve many purposes. Rhinox Hide can be used as a main color, shading, or as a base for weathering. This is especially helpful when you want to make figures look more realistic or grounded. In armies with mixed materials, a reliable brown tone also adds structure and makes other colors appear cleaner.

The shade is perfect for surfaces that should not appear metallic or flashy. Leather pieces, wooden handles, straps, or fabric sections get a dark, believable base with Rhinox Hide. This is especially useful when you want to differentiate various materials on a miniature. This way, the model remains clearly readable and gains more depth.

Compared to black, Rhinox Hide brings more warmth and a sense of material. Compared to lighter brown tones, the color appears significantly stronger and is therefore well suited as a base. If you are looking for a background that can still be painted over flexibly later, this is often the better choice. For very light natural tones, you just need to add layers or highlights.

The 12ml bottle is practical if you regularly use the color for base tones and details. Brown is often needed in many areas in Tabletop, so having a reliable amount quickly makes sense. The size is well suited for individual miniatures, smaller armies, or recurring material areas. This way, you have the shade readily available for a long time without taking up too much space.

Rhinox Hide is especially helpful when you want to build figures that look believable and harmonious. The color works well for battle-worn armies, natural motifs, or models with lots of leather and wood. It also serves as a good background for stronger colors. If you're looking for a dark, earthy base, this is a very useful solution.

When combined with brown, green, beige, or metal, Rhinox Hide usually blends in very naturally. That’s exactly why this color is such a reliable component in many paint jobs. It brings calm to the model and supports clear material separation. For hobbyists looking to expand their palette sensibly, this is a very practical shade.
