Citadel Layer Eshin Grey is a cool, dark grey mid-tone named for Clan Eshin - the assassin Skaven clan who operate in shadow and darkness. It sits at the darker end of the grey Layer range, lighter than Mechanicus Standard Grey base paint but darker than Dawnstone, making it a useful mid-stage in grey armour workflows and an effective shadow tone for fur, cloth and stone across many armies.
Apply over Mechanicus Standard Grey on Adeptus Mechanicus robes and armour as a first layer highlight before moving to Dawnstone and Administratum Grey. Works for Skaven clan Eshin skin and fur on Night Runners and Gutter Runners, for dark stone and slate on terrain and bases, and as a mid-tone in any dark grey armour scheme where the highlights should remain relatively subdued. The cool tone suits Necron constructs and shadow-coloured creatures.
A useful dark grey mid-tone for shadow and cool-palette armour workflows.
