Army Painter Quickshade Dark Tone is a varnish-based dip formula that flows into recesses, deepens shadows, and seals your paint job all in a single application. The result is a model with genuine depth and definition — the kind that would otherwise take multiple wash layers and hours of blending to achieve. For painters who want great-looking armies on the table without sacrificing their entire weekend, Dark Tone is a reliable workhorse product.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow It Works\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eQuickshade works differently from standard wash paints. Rather than a water-based ink, it's an oil-based varnish tinted to a rich, dark brown-black tone. You apply it by dipping the model or brushing it on generously, let gravity do the work, and it self-levels into crevices and panel lines as it cures. The Dark Tone variant produces deep, high-contrast shadows — well-suited to dark armour, dungeon terrain, undead models, fur, leather, and any miniature that benefits from strong definition. Once fully cured, it leaves a gloss finish, which you can knock back with a matte varnish coat if you prefer a non-reflective result on the tabletop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 250ml tin provides excellent coverage across a significant model collection — far more volume than a standard wash pot. This format is especially well-suited to painters batch-coating large units or working through an entire army in one session.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eQuickshade Dark Tone earns its place in the collection of painters at every level. New hobbyists finishing their first models will find it dramatically improves results with minimal technique required — apply it and let it work. Experienced painters use it to speed-paint large units efficiently before returning to character models and centrepieces with more time-intensive techniques. It works across miniature wargaming systems — Warhammer, Warmachine, historical models, fantasy skirmish games — any model on any base benefits from a solid shade pass. Note that Quickshade is oil-based, so brushes used for application should be cleaned with white spirit or brush cleaner, not water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThe Army Painter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eQuickshade Dark Tone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaint Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShade \/ Varnish Dip\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVolume\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e250ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGloss (matte varnish recommended to finish)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApplication\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrush-On or Dip\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCleanup\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite spirit \/ brush cleaner required\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Games Workshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44509589110872,"sku":"QS1003","price":39.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/4980\/8728\/files\/NDEyMTAwNQ.jpg?v=1786044148","url":"https:\/\/borealgaming.com\/products\/army-painter-quickshade-dark-tone-dip-250ml","provider":"Boreal Gaming \u0026 Cards","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
