Spookily close in tone, hue and coverage. Citadel Athonian Camoshade &īlue Tone – Strikingly similar to GW’s old Asurman Blue. Green Tone – Compared to Athonian Camoshade by Citadel this time is a very different shade of green, much more vibrant making it a great way to add shade to a forest themed miniature perhaps. Again this quickshade flows really well into the recesses. From the image you can see a difference in the reddish hue if we compare to GW Reikland Fleshshade. Citadel Gryphonne Sepia &įlesh Wash – A soft reddish brown that should be used for defining pale flesh or gold. Soft Tone – Again slightly darker than this old GW Gryphonne Sepia, less vibrant than the afore mentioned but still provides a great subtle shade.

Citadel Agrax Earthshade & Quickshade Strong Tone Strong Tone – A slightly darker brown compared to Agrax Earthshade by GW, it’s actually very similar to GW’s old Devlan Mud for those who remember that one. All test model pieces had been primed using white primer beforehand.ĭark Tone – This is almost a perfect match for GW’s Nuln Oil, both give a great coverage and flow well. I will be comparing these Quickshades with shades/tones of other washes that I own both old and new from GW.įor ease of reference all images will show a comparison between GW washes old/new on the left side of the model piece and Army Painter Quickshades on the right. Going forward this review will be looking at eight out of the eleven available washes that Army Painter sell, excluded from this review are the relatively new Military Shader, Mid Brown and Light Tone. Army Painter currently sell all eleven Quickshades in a complete box set for £28.94/€32.50. As you can see Quickshades come in at about 2/3rds of the cost of the Citadel equivalent. They come in a handy 18ml dropper style bottle at a competitive price of £2.68/€2.99(£0.148/ml & €0.16/ml) versus Citadels range of washes that come in 24ml pots priced at £4.75/€5.34(£0.19/ml & €0.22/ml) respectively. These washes are supposedly made by the same supplier who provided a previous Citadel paint range.

Today we will be looking at the Army Painter Quickshade washes, a range of products designed by Army Painter that contain “extra heavy pigment” that can be used to add shading and give various coloured effects to a miniature.
