![]() These three inks are available since the launch of Army Painter's Warpaint range at the beginning of 2012. Personally I prefer their end result over the Shades, as I feel the pigment settles better into the recesses, but in the end it's really up to your personal preference. In comparison to the new Citadel Shades, they are slightly less runny, so you have to push them around with your brush a little bit more. They follow the same formula like the old Citadel Washes, so we suppose that they are made by the same manufacturer. They are an acrylic based product and totally different from the Quickshade dips that Army Painter are also offering. Just to be clear, even though they're called inks, Warpaint inks are washes. The booklet is a really nice add-on to get you going with the inks, even though the layout of the booklet is often messy and the English is a bit rough. The Warpaints Qui ckshade Ink set comes in a thin cardboard box that contains seven different shades in 18 ml dropper bottles, also included is a painting guide in English that explains how to use the Warpaint inks in combination with other products from The Army Painter. In the included painting guide they suggest Soft Tone Ink for flesh, but this is more of a sepia shade and makes your skin look yellowish. I think The Army Painter has really dropped the ball here. The only thing I'm missing is a proper flesh ink, a reddish brown similar to the old Ogryn Flesh wash or the new Reikland Fleshshade. Most of them are very close matches to the old Citadel Washes, which makes switching very easy. The RRP of the Ink set is 17,50 Euro, so it offers a nice additional discount than buying the inks individually. So you get 50% more wash but pay less - fantastic. They contain 18 ml for a RRP of 2,75 Euro as opposed to 12 ml for 3,20 Euro Games Workshop is asking for their Shades. Warpaint Inks from The Army Painter provide excellent value.
