Greatly priced too as it comes in a slightly bigger container than other citadel paints. Easy to use and can quickly clean off the oil if you applied too much. A little dab can help you cover up all those hard to reach spots on the miniatures. I have posted a picture of the nuln oil container compared to a regular sized bottle. Keep in mind that this isn't a paint and is more of a shading for dried painted models. Review: Just buy it - Instant "look good" in a bottle. Adds details you didn't know were there in seconds. I use it on big 3d printed props like helmets and statues to make them look "dirty". ## Features - High quality acrylic paint - Nuln Oil ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Brand | Citadel | | Color | Nuln Oil | | Color Code | #000000 | | Finish Type | Matte | | Is Waterproof | True | | Item Volume | 18 ml | | Size | 0.61 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) | | Special Feature | Portable | | Special Features | Portable | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Citadel - **Color:** Nuln Oil - **Finish Type:** Matte - **Indoor/Outdoor Usage:** Indoor - **Item Volume:** 18 Milliliters - **Paint Type:** Acrylic - **Size:** 0.61 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) - **Special Feature:** Portable - **Specific Uses For Product:** painting and detailing miniatures or models - **Surface Recommendation:** Plastic, Metal, Resin ## Images ![Citadel Shade Paint: Nuln Oil (18ml) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51yOeZN-hYL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good shade *by J***E on November 7, 2025* This is great for getting details darkened in a pinch and to add higher quality to painted models.

Adds details you didn't know were there in seconds. I use it on big 3d printed props like helmets and statues to make them look "dirty". ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good wash for minis *by K***R on March 3, 2026* I had been using agrax earth shade and I like this much better - doesn’t make everything look like it’s been covered in mud, mostly just adds contrast. I also had to dilute the agrax with a medium and nuln oil feels good right out of the bottle. It does leave models shiny, so I use some AK matte varnish to give it a matte finish. ## Frequently Bought Together - Games Workshop Citadel Shades Nuln Oil 18Ml - Games Workshop Citadel Base: Leadbelcher - 143-2415 Shade: Agrax Earthshade (18ml) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/499069195-citadel-shade-paint-nuln-oil-18ml](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/499069195-citadel-shade-paint-nuln-oil-18ml) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-17*
