Army Painter Quickshade is the great shortcut that changed tabletop painting — a rich, varnish-based shade that flows into every recess and crease in a single pass, instantly giving your models depth, definition and grime. Dark Tone is the deepest of the three: a near-black shade for dramatic, high-contrast shadows and the grubbiest, most battle-worn look.
