Tyran Blue is a vivid blue shade wash from the Citadel range, named after Hive Fleet Tyran - the first Tyranid invasion fleet encountered by the Imperium of Man. Applied over a dried basecoat, it flows into recesses and surface detail, leaving a rich, saturated blue shadow that enriches blue and blue-adjacent colour schemes with depth and colour contrast.
The shade's vivid blue character distinguishes it from the deeper, more neutral Drakenhof Nightshade - Tyran Blue shades brighter and more visibly blue, making it the choice when saturated blue colour depth is the priority. Tyranid carapace in blue schemes - including the Hive Fleet Leviathan purple-blue and Hive Fleet Jormungandr teal - benefits from Tyran Blue as the shade step, pulling the carapace shadow deeper into blue without muddying the colour. Space Marine armour across blue Chapters can use Tyran Blue instead of Drakenhof Nightshade where a brighter, more visible blue shadow is preferred over a neutral dark. Plasma weapon energy coils, Aeldari energy field details, and electrical effect basing all respond to Tyran Blue as a targeted glaze to add bright blue depth around energy sources.
