                        I would like to be able to airbrush some of these colours, but I'm not sure what to thin them with. Regular water IMHO, when I tried it, just made the paint run, and it is WAY too thick out of the bottle.
                        Anyone tried this before? Suggestions?

                        I use alcohol with a couple of drops of retarder to slow down the drying time. I haven't used all the Citadel colors but that works fine with the half-dozen or so that I have used.

                        Thanks for the advice, I'll give it a shot. Any suggestion as to the paint to thinner ratio?

                        I use 3:1 for everything unless there is some reason not to.

                        I've sprayed one of their colors so far with Tamiya thinner and it worked fine...
