The Army Painter – John Blanche Masterclass: Nightroot Shade – WP4112P
Colour: Dark muted purple
Finish: Matte
Contents: 18 ml
The Army Painter John Blanche Masterclass Nightroot Shade is a dark, muted purple wash for miniature painting. The cool tint is ideal for applying deep shadows without resorting to black or warm brown, and works particularly well on pale skin, pink and purple fabrics, and supernatural effects.
Cool purple shadows with extra character
Nightroot Shade flows easily into seams, folds, and other recesses, quickly enhancing the sculpted details of a miniature. The purple undertone gives the shadows more colour character than a neutral black wash.
This makes this wash particularly suitable for models with a pale, mysterious, or dark appearance.
Ideal for skin, fabrics, and organic details
On light skin tones, Nightroot Shade can be used to build cool shadows around eyes, muscles, and facial details. It also helps create more contrast and depth over pink, mauve, and purple fabrics.
For demons, undead, mutants, and other organic miniatures, the colour is also suitable for unnatural shadows and discolourations.
Strong for grimdark and gothic colour schemes
The dark purple tint blends perfectly with the muted, atmospheric look of the John Blanche Masterclass series. Nightroot Shade pairs beautifully with Moonpetal, Blanched Berry, Iceborn, and other pale or cool tones.
Next to weathered metal, rust, and earthy colours, the purple can also provide subtle colour contrast.
Versatile for shading and atmosphere
Nightroot Shade can be used both as a general wash and as a local shadow colour. By applying the wash specifically to recesses, you retain more control, while a broader application can make an entire colour layer darker and more atmospheric.
The muted purple tint is also highly useful for glazing and local discolourations.
Usage
Shake the bottle well before use. Apply Nightroot Shade over a completely dry, matte base colour and let the wash flow primarily into the recesses. Remove excess wash from large flat surfaces to prevent pooling. Allow it to dry completely before continuing with layering or highlights.
