Warhammer Colour Shade Paints – Instant Depth and Shadow
Shade paints are thin, flow-enhanced washes that settle into the recesses of your miniatures, automatically creating shadow and depth with minimal effort. Applied over a Base coat, a Shade dramatically transforms a flat, single-colour model into something that looks detailed and three-dimensional in seconds — making them one of the most powerful tools in any painter's collection.
Loaded Dice stocks the full Warhammer Colour Shade range in our Barry, South Wales shop and online at loadeddice.uk. Nuln Oil and Agrax Earthshade in particular are considered essential paints for virtually every miniature painter, and are among the most recommended hobby products available.
Frequently Asked Question
Shade paints are thin washes that flow into the recesses of a miniature, creating instant shadow and depth. Applied after a Base coat, they are one of the most effective ways to add detail and definition to any model quickly.
Nuln Oil (for metals and dark colours) and Agrax Earthshade (for warm tones, skin, leather, and bone) are the two most versatile Shades and should be in every painter's collection regardless of faction or style.
