That depends on how you want to paint it, and how you want the paint to look on the kit. If you are hand painting, it's always good to add a few drops of thinner (alcohol or tamiya thinner) to the paint so that it flows better and isn't as thick.
If you are airbrushing, you absolutely need to thin it, or it won't spray out of the airbrush.

make sure you stir the paint. Shaking isn't recommended for mixing tamiya acrylic paints. Stir it up so that all the settled paint particles get mixed. If it looks pretty thin to you, paint away. You could experiment a little, adding a little thinner as see how that affects the paint performance for you.

Thanks for the tips guys, I'll update you on my WIP later, I decided to try out the Tamiya paints as I thought they were better suited but If Citadel paints are better I'll just use them from now on, my brother collects warhammer so most of the time I don't need to buy the paint.
