Not tried the current Citadel range, it's like they have invented their own language to confuse people into buying the same colour in various different types. I have no idea which of their paint types is just regular paint.
There are the following labels:
Base - thicker, well covering regular paint for basecoats, thin down well in general. Worth buying as basecoat colors if you tend to layer for highlights.
Layer - regular paint, very good for layering and wet blending. Some unique, beautiful colors in the range.
Sidenote: For every Base paint there's two Layer paints to highlight the base with. Built in triads for the meek of imagination who don't know how to mix paints. Out of the two lines, just pick what you like and have a go with it. GW want you to spend 10 Euros for three paints to paint one color. Plus the wash, of course.
Dry - very thick, textured paint for drybrushing only. Useless. Don't buy and if you have, toss them away.
Texture - bullshit, in principle same as Dry. Paint your fence with that crap. By the way, all paints of the line are of the same consistency. Basically, it's just sand with different colors mixed in. Imagine how useless it is to pay money for somthing like that.
Shade - thin wash/ink-like paint. Thins down for glazing very well. Great, great line.
Glaze - thin yellow, red, green, and blue for tinting surfaces and bringing shade, mid-tones, and highlights together.
Technical - Some very unique, actually useful things in the range, but also some utter bullcrap that is just made to pull money out of your ass.
Did I forget anything?
