![]() ![]() White Uniform: This Roman soldier was sprayed Colour Primer: Plate Mail Metal, then given a white uniform and dipped in Quick Shade: Soft Tone, adding fine subdued shading. We’ve painted up a few different colour schemes for the Roman Legions illustrating the possibilities of Quick Shade including combinations with different Colour Primers. Dark Tone is also superb for models needing a sharp contrast such as furry animals, machines and knights for instance. Dark Tone uses black pigment instead of brown and creates a very fine black shading on your models. In doubt: pick this tone!ĭark Tone: The ultimate shading for metal and armour. Strong Tone is the most common of all the tones as it will add a fantastic shading effect to an army and give it a stunning overall look. Strong Tone: This Quick Shade looks extremely good on models which need a deep shading and the rich brown pigment has a battle worn feel to it. ![]() Alternatively Soft Tone will give you an effective light shading effect, good for large surfaces and “clean” miniatures. Soft Tone: This Quick Shade is specifically designed for lighter colours and looks extremely effective on light colours (white, pink, yellow for instance) as a consequence. Quick Shade comes in 3 different variants Soft Tone, Strong Tone and Dark Tone. This will create a coherent looking force which will look really good. A good rule of thumb is to use the same Tone to all models in the army, if at all possible. What Tone to use? A difficult question to answer, as taste is very individual. Shading black is somewhat of a challenge – it’s hard to find a darker tone than black! An option is to add a thin grey highlight before the Quick Shade or simply to add an old fashion highlight after the Quick Shade is completely dry. However you can do so if you want to and if you got the time! Indeed it might be well worth going back and adding a few highlights to your army commanders.

The Quickshade Ink set along with the four new inks and two new Warpaints are released on September 21. In the included painting guide they suggest Soft Tone Ink for flesh, but this is more of a sepia shade and makes your skin look yellowish. I think The Army Painter has really dropped the ball here. The only thing I’m missing is a proper flesh ink, a reddish brown similar to the old Ogryn Flesh wash or the new Reikland Fleshshade. Most of them are very close matches to the old Citadel Washes, which makes switching very easy. The RRP of the Ink set is 17,50 Euro, so it offers a nice additional discount than buying the inks individually. So you get 50% more wash but pay less – fantastic. They contain 18 ml for a RRP of 2,75 Euro as opposed to 12 ml for 3,20 Euro Games Workshop is asking for their Shades. Warpaint Inks from The Army Painter provide excellent value. Both washes provide a nice shading, Purple Ink has had it a bit easier because the primer on the test model wasn’t as thick as on the other one. Personally I prefer their end result over the Shades, as I feel the pigment settles better into the recesses, but in the end it’s really up to your personal preference.Īll of the following test models have been primed white and the washes have been applied undiluted.Īs you can see, Purple Tone Ink is pretty similar to Leviathan Purple (old Citadel Washes. In comparison to the new Citadel Shades, they are slightly less runny, so you have to push them around with your brush a little bit more. They follow the same formula like the old Citadel Washes, so we suppose that they are made by the same manufacturer. They are an acrylic based product and totally different from the Quickshade dips that Army Painter are also offering. ![]() Just to be clear, even though they’re called inks, Warpaint inks are washes. The booklet is a really nice add-on to get you going with the inks, even though the layout of the booklet is often messy and the English is a bit rough. The Warpaints Quickshade Ink set comes in a thin cardboard box that contains seven different shades in 18 ml dropper bottles, also included is a painting guide in English that explains how to use the Warpaint inks in combination with other products from The Army Painter. ![]()
