Citadel: Shade Agrax Earthshade 18Ml

This little pot of paint is so much more versatile than I expected — it works just as well on armor panels as it does on fabric folds. Even a tiny drop flows perfectly into the crevices and dries without that chalky look. Definitely a staple for my painting sessions now.

The 18ml pot will last ages, and one coat of this shade sinks right into the crevices and instantly makes my Space Marines look way more battle-worn. It’s my go-to for tying all the base colors together and making every little detail pop.

I’ve been using this to bring out recessed details on my space marines, and the pooling is easy to control even on flat panels. It dries with a slight gloss, so I’d recommend a matte varnish over it for a uniform finish. Does the job without making the model look muddy.
