Heavy body acrylic paints are meant for larger-scale applications where the paint should be applied in one thick coat. The paints that Citadel makes are soft body acrylic paints. Soft body acrylic paints are designed for small-scale applications and have a smaller pigment size compared to heavy body acrylics. They are also designed to be thinned down with water and applied using two thin coats. Soft body acrylics are what should be used when painting Warhammer figures.
