Talassar Blue paint from Citadel Colour is a base coat with a matt finish that resembles the calm, deep blue hue of an ocean on a sunny day. Infused with high-quality pigments, this acrylic-based paint offers excellent coverage, making it an ideal choice for miniature painting.

What Space Marine armies to paint with Talassar Blue
Talassar Blue is a vibrant blue color that is perfect for painting the armor of Space Marines, the iconic soldiers of the Warhammer 40K universe. While any Space Marine army can be painted with Talassar Blue, here are three factions that could be particularly fitting:
- Ultramarines: The Ultramarines are one of the most iconic Space Marine chapters in the Warhammer 40K universe, known for their tactical acumen and strict adherence to the Codex Astartes. Their armor is predominantly blue, and Talassar Blue would make for an excellent base coat for this army.
- Blood Angels: The Blood Angels are another popular Space Marine chapter, known for their aggressive nature and red armor. However, many Blood Angels armies also feature blue accents, particularly on their shoulder pads and helmets. Using Talassar Blue for these accents could help tie the army’s color scheme together.
- Space Wolves: The Space Wolves are a unique Space Marine chapter that draws inspiration from Norse mythology. Their armor is predominantly gray, but many Space Wolves armies feature blue accents, such as the pelts that adorn their shoulders. Using Talassar Blue for these accents could help add some pop to an otherwise muted color scheme.
In making this decision, I considered the various factions and armies within the Warhammer 40K universe and focused on those that had a visual affinity to blue or could benefit from a blue accent. I also took into account the fact that Talassar Blue is a bright and vibrant color, which would work well with the futuristic machinery, guns, tanks, and infantry found within the Warhammer 40K universe.
