The Citadel File Set is a set of precision hobby files for removing mould lines, flash, and excess material from Warhammer plastic, resin, and metal miniatures. Mould lines are visible seams left on a model surface at the join points of the casting mould - removing them before painting is a fundamental preparation step that prevents mould lines from showing through the finished painted model as raised ridges across armour panels, faces, and weapon surfaces.
The file set provides multiple file profiles - flat, round, half-round, and triangular - that match the different surface geometries on Warhammer miniatures. Flat files work on armour panels and broad flat surfaces; round and half-round files clean mould lines from curved surfaces such as legs, armour plating, and barrel profiles; triangular files reach into V-shaped recesses and corners that other profile files cannot. Files cut more smoothly than a craft knife on certain materials, particularly on curved resin surfaces where a knife blade can skip and score rather than shave cleanly. The file set is a reusable long-term tool that complements knife, sprue cutters, and mouldline remover in a complete miniature preparation workflow.
