Citadel Agrax Earthshade - 18ml Premium Dark Brown Shade Paint - Professional Miniature Wash for Wargaming & Model Painting

Discover the rich, deep tones of Citadel's Agrax Earthshade, an exceptional 18ml shade paint that has earned its reputation as "liquid talent" among miniature painters. This sophisticated dark brown wash comes in Citadel's latest-generation pot design, featuring a distinctive olive-green container with a secure double-lid system that ensures optimal paint preservation.
The shade paint presents as a translucent, dark umber brown with subtle warm undertones, perfectly calibrated to create natural, realistic shadows on miniatures and models. When applied, Agrax Earthshade transforms from its bottle appearance to a nuanced, earth-toned wash that settles naturally into recesses and crevices, enhancing the three-dimensional quality of your paintwork.
Citadel's advanced formula ensures consistent flow characteristics, allowing the paint to seamlessly glide into detailed areas while maintaining excellent coverage properties. The paint's carefully balanced pigment density provides predictable results, whether you're applying it as an all-over shade or targeting specific areas for selective shading.
The distinctive bottle design features Citadel's contemporary branding, with the signature splattered paint logo in bright green contrasting beautifully against the dark olive background. The clear, white lettering ensures easy identification in your paint collection, while the ergonomic pot shape provides stability during painting sessions.

Professional Applications:
Agrax Earthshade excels at creating depth on a wide range of miniature elements. Use it to add richness to leather equipment, age metallic surfaces, define wooden textures, or create realistic dirt and grime effects. The paint's controlled flow properties make it equally effective for broad application over large areas or precise shading of intricate details.
For best results, apply over fully dried base colors using a clean brush. The shade will naturally flow into recesses while maintaining the integrity of raised surfaces. Multiple layers can be applied for deeper shadow effects, and the paint can be diluted with water for more subtle tinting.
