Citadel to Army Painter Paint Converter
Army Painter Warpaints are a natural choice when you want to expand a Citadel collection without the Games Workshop price tag, or when a local store stocks Army Painter but not GW. The two ranges share colour territory across most of the spectrum — Army Painter has designed many of their paints as direct Citadel alternatives, making equivalent-finding more accurate here than with most other brands.
Our Citadel to Army Painter converter finds the closest Warpaints match for every Citadel Base or Layer paint using exact colour-distance matching. Results are sorted by proximity, so you can immediately see whether you have a near-perfect drop-in substitute or a reasonable alternative that's slightly off-tone. Army Painter covers all standard hobby needs: base colours, washes, dry paints, and the newer Speedpaints range.
Most Citadel Base paints map cleanly onto a close Army Painter equivalent. The trickier matches — unusual mid-tones, Citadel's distinctive grey-greens, and the technical colour range — are where this tool earns its keep. Open the full comparison chart to search every Citadel paint by name and see all Army Painter alternatives ranked by accuracy.
