The Army Painter Paint & Effects
Quick Shade Dark Tone QS1003
Quick Shade Dark Tone is part of The Army Painter’s original Quickshade range, a product designed to deliver strong, consistent shading across entire armies with minimal effort. It is engineered specifically for 10–28mm miniatures and is intended to speed up painting while still producing convincing depth and contrast.
The formula flows naturally into recesses, defining details and creating natural shadows in a single step. It can be applied directly with a brush or by dipping base coated miniatures, followed by removing excess and allowing it to cure. Once dry, models appear shaded and finished, ready for further highlighting or sealing.
- Fast shading solution for 10–28mm miniatures
- Creates deep shadows and strong contrast
- Can be applied with a brush or by dipping
- Ideal for batch painting full armies quickly
- Designed to work regardless of painting experience
Dark Tone is suited to darker colour schemes or projects where strong definition is desired. It delivers a more pronounced shading effect than lighter tones in the range, making it effective for armour, uniforms, and high-contrast finishes.
This product can only be sent by courier.
