They have more body than Citadel Shades, and most of them go on very evenly. Light Tone: Light Tone is a sepia brown, similar to GW Seraphim Sepia.Īll in all, I’m quite fond of The Army Painter’s washes. Compared to other Quickshade Inks, it didn’t settle quite as nicely in the recesses. It’s actually pretty close to GW Reikland Fleshshade. It’s much more reddish than it appears on the colour swatch. Mid Brown: This was quite a surprise, as it’s an even more reddish brown wash than Flesh Wash. Compared to Reikland Fleshshade, it’s a nuance less reddish and it settles better in the recesses. Note: Dark Tone, Strong Tone and Soft Tone are supposed to match The Army Painter’s Quickshade “dip” range, though I can’ comment on that as I don’t have their dips for comparison.įlesh Wash: A reddish-brown wash for shading caucasian flesh, also useful for shading gold and copper. Old Soft Tone Ink seems now to be Light Tone Ink. It’s actually quite similar to GW Agrax Earthshade. Soft Tone – Soft Tone Ink used to be quite similar to GW’s old Gryphonne Sepia or new Seraphim Sepia Shade, but The Army Painter seems to have changed it into a more mid-brown wash, as seen as on the colour swatch. Please note that The Army Painter seems to have changed Soft Tone Ink since our review: Dark Tone Ink is a perfect match for GW’s old Badab Black or (old formula) Nuln Oil, while Strong Tone is a darker, more blackish-brown compared to GW Agrax Earthshade (but a very close match for GW’s old Devlan Mud).

For reference, Green Tone Ink is slightly more muted than GW Biel-Tan Green, Purple Tone is a very close match to GW Druchii Violet, Blue Tone is less blackish and than GW Drakenhof Nightshade.ĭark Tone, Strong Tone: Also reviewed earlier, learn more about them here. Green Tone, Purple Tone, Blue Tone: We already reviewed these inks a while ago, check out the review here. I like it quite much, I think it’s great for shading drab or muted greens when you don’t want that yellowish hue of Althonian Camoshade. Compared to GW Althonian Camoshade, it’s less yellowish. Military Shader: This is a drab green wash.

The new additions are Flesh Wash, Mid Brown, Light Tone and Military Shader. I was pleased to hear that The Army Painter expanded their Quickshade Inks with four new hues, bringing the range to 11 washes in total.
