Layer: Eshin Grey (12ML)

A dark, moody charcoal-grey Citadel Layer paint formulated with smooth, high-quality pigments. It is designed to provide clean layering, solid mid-tones, and crisp edge highlights over pitch-black or deep charcoal foundations, drying to a professional matte finish. Packaged in a 12ml pot.

(Note: Named after the stealthy, shadow-dwelling Skaven Clan Eshin, this specific shade is a universal favorite among hobbyists for highlighting black armor and painting realistic, soot-stained surfaces.)

What it’s good for:

~ Serving as the perfect, subtle edge highlight for flat black power armor, dark vehicle plating, and leather boots to give them realistic depth without turning them completely grey

~ Painting the tattered, stealthy cloaks, worn wraps, and concealed uniforms of night-runners, assassins, and covert operations infantry

~ Creating a solid mid-tone for soot-stained machinery, industrial exhaust pipes, scorched weapon barrels, and weathered urban concrete ruins

~ Laying down smooth, natural gradients for dark volcanic rock, charred wood elements, and dark, unrefined leather pouches

What it goes well with:

~ Abaddon Black or Corvus Black (Base foundation tones—Abaddon Black provides the ultimate deep, pitch-black contrast underneath an Eshin Grey highlight)

~ Nuln Oil or Agrax Earthshade (Shade washes—Nuln Oil locks in a flat, greasy mechanical shadow, while Agrax adds a gritty layer of battlefield dirt and sewer grime)

~ Dawnstone or Administratum Grey (Edge highlights—Dawnstone builds a smooth, volumetric transition, while Administratum Grey provides a sharp, light-catching final point highlight on corners and rivets)
