Death claims its tithe in the latest Warhammer Underworlds warband.

Review: AK’s new Acrylic Washes
I’m testing the 18 new acrylic washes from AK with the blue cap. Easiest, fastest, and most effective shading – that’s what the marketing promises. Also, loads of realistic brown tones, and you can never have enough brown washes. But can AK’s new washes really do something the others can’t? We’ll find out in this review, with a big comparison of the most popular brands like Citadel and The Army Painter, and of course the old Deep Shade washes from AK that they’re meant to replace.
