Using a black base can influence how light interacts with details as you add layers, enabling you to gauge contrast and depth early in the process. The spray format makes it convenient to cover multiple figures quickly, which is especially helpful during a painting session that involves terrain, squads, or larger units.

Practical workflow and use cases

For many hobbyists, starting with Chaos Black as the first layer helps set a uniform stage for subsequent paints and washes. The dark undertone can simplify shading decisions for metallics, fabrics, and skin tones, while maintaining flexibility for brighter highlights or muted palettes depending on your chosen color scheme.

• Fast, spray-on coverage for rapid base coating
• Single-step preparation that can save time in batch projects
• Stable base to support a range of color schemes and wash techniques
• Ideal starting point for projects with darker or more contrasted palettes

Usage tips and safety reminders: apply in a well-ventilated space, shake the can before use, and test on a spare model before committing to your figures. Let each coat dry before applying the next to maintain a clean base and avoid drips.
