Citadel Shade: Nuln Oil (18ml) – Warhammer Paints

Description

The Ultimate Black Wash for Miniature Painting

Known universally across the tabletop hobby as “liquid talent in a bottle,” Citadel Shade: Nuln Oil is arguably the most essential paint in any hobbyist’s arsenal. Specially formulated to flow over basecoats and sink into the lowest recesses of your models, this 18ml black shade wash instantly creates deep shadows, crisp panel lines, and high-contrast definition.

### Essential for Warhammer & Tabletop Gaming Models

Nuln Oil is unmatched when it comes to giving metallic parts, weapons, and armor a cold, dark, and realistic finish. Whether you are defining muscle seams on Warhammer 40,000 Space Marines, adding greasy mechanical shadows to Necrons and vehicles, or darkening steel swords and iron armor for Warhammer Age of Sigmar models, Nuln Oil brings your miniatures to life in seconds.

### Key Features:

• Fluid Shadow Formula: Ultra-low viscosity allows pigment to flow away from high points into deep sculpted lines.
• Smooth Matte Finish: Dries without unwanted shine, integrating smoothly over base layers and under highlights.
• 18ml Pot Size: Generous volume designed for dipping large shade brushes and batch-painting whole armies.
• System Versatility: Can be thinned with Citadel Lahmian Medium for delicate glazes, soft shading, or precise recess lining.

### How to Use:

Shake the pot gently before use. Using a shade brush, apply Nuln Oil generously over dried basecoats (especially metallic bases like Leadbelcher). Allow the wash to run naturally into panel joins and recesses. To prevent tidemarks on flat panels, draw excess pooling away with a clean, slightly damp brush before it dries.
