The Story
If you only own one shade, make it Nuln Oil. This black wash is the most reliable trick in the hobby — flood it over metal, armour and detailed areas and it instantly finds every recess, leaving crisp definition and a grimy, battle-worn finish. It's the closest thing to a "make it look painted" button there is.
