Asurmen Blue is a deep, rich navy blue from the Citadel Contrast range, named after Asurmen, the first and greatest of the Aeldari Phoenix Lords. Applied over Wraithbone or Grey Seer primer, it flows across a model's surface and pools in recessed detail while leaving raised areas lighter, creating a shaded blue result from a single pass. The tone is a cool, saturated mid-blue that deepens to near-navy in deep recesses.
The most direct use is on Dire Avengers, the Aeldari warriors of the warrior shrine Asurmen founded, where the blue armour reads cleanly from a single Contrast coat. It works equally well on Space Marine armour in blue Chapter schemes as a speed-painting foundation - Ultramarines, Space Wolves, and similar Chapter players sometimes use it thinned as a glaze to add shadow depth after layering. Cloaks, robes, water effects, and blue fabric details benefit from its transparency and flow, and it can be used as a deep shading wash over existing basecoats rather than as a full Contrast application.
