Games Workshop Citadel Shade Drakenhof Nightshade

Games Workshop Citadel Shade Drakenhof Nightshade

Citadel Shade Drakenhof Nightshade, a dark blue shade developed to flow over other paints into the recesses of a miniature. A cool-toned alternative to black washes for blue armor, cloaks and night schemes.

Price range: See on Amazon

What we liked

  • + Developed to flow over other paints and into cavities, defining details and recesses as it dries
  • + Blue shade gives cooler shadows than a black or brown wash on blue, grey and silver areas
  • + Listing states a 0.8 fl oz (24 ml) pot, a little more than the 18ml of other single shades here

Trade-offs

  • - One color in one pot, so it is a specialist addition after you already own a black and a brown wash
  • - The listing text is short and does not say whether the finish dries matte or gloss
