Citadel Colour: Nuln Oil – Acrylic Shade Paint (18ml)
Shop Citadel Shade Nuln Oil. The legendary liquid black wash for miniatures, engineered to deliver instant recess shading, depth, and metallic weathering. 18ml.
Nuln Oil is the undisputed king of the Shade category within the Citadel Colour range, widely referred to by the global hobby community as “liquid talent” or “talent in a bottle.” Formulated specifically to flow effortlessly into panel lines, creases, and the finest organic recesses of your miniatures, this water-based wash creates deep, realistic shadows with a single brushstroke, adding instant three-dimensional definition without staining flat surfaces.
Featuring a rich, deep black pigment with an optimized surface tension, Nuln Oil is an absolute staple on any workbench, delivering spectacular results across multiple applications:
-
Metallic Weathering: The definitive shade to apply over steel, silver, or iron basecoats (such as Leadbelcher) to simulate industrial oil, engine grease, soot, and structural depth.
-
Recess Shading: Perfect for crisply defining the boundaries between armor plates, weapon assemblies, clothing folds, and muscle definition on any Citadel model.
-
Grimdark Aesthetic: Excellent for darkening down vibrant tones and giving infantry squads, vehicles, or terrain a battle-worn, gritty, and realistic sci-fi finish.
This pot contains 18ml of high-performance liquid shade paint. Shake thoroughly before use to ensure perfect pigment distribution. The non-toxic formula dries to a clean, flat matte finish and washes easily out of hobby brushes with water.
