Quickshade Tin, Strong Tone - 250ml

Army Painter Quickshade is the great shortcut that changed tabletop painting — a rich, varnish-based shade that flows into every recess in a single pass, instantly adding depth and definition. Strong Tone is the do-it-all middle ground: a heavy brown shade that gives deep, dramatic shading and looks superb over reds, desert yellows and all manner of greens. If in doubt, this is the one.
