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? I'll find out in this video, 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. #ak3rdgen #akwashes #review ⏭️ Chapters: 0:00 Here is what I tested 1:30 AK's new washes explained 2:12 First tests with the black washes 3:48 Why the brown washes are so unique 6:34 Comparing AK vs Citadel, Army Painer & Pro Acryl 8:34 The coloured washes & comparison with old Deep Shades 10:31 Upgrade for your paint collection or not? 🔎 My review scale: 1 – 4: A product with obvious flaws that I wouldn't recommend 5 – 6: A product with issues, but depending on your needs and/or a good price, perhaps worth a look 7: A solid product but with room for improvement 8: An above-average product I'd recommend 9: A product amongst the best of its category, highly recommended 10: An (almost) perfect product where I can't think of any improvements (I've never given a 10 lol) ☝️ Please note: In my ratings and reviews I always try to address and consider as broad a range of hobbyists as possible, and deliberately don't cater only to expert and display painters. 🖌️ Hobby gear I use: ► My top list of paints: https://taleofpainters.com/2025/01/st... ► The spray matt varnish that never lets me down: https://geni.us/mrtopcoatpremiumflat * ► Brushes for edge highlighting: https://geni.us/winsornewtonseries7m (I use the 000 7M a lot)* ► Brushes for basecoating & drybrushing: https://geni.us/chroniclebrushes * ► My wet palette: https://geni.us/everlastingpalette2 * ► IMO best sprue cutters: https://geni.us/rggprecisionnippers ► The plasticard I use for my swatches: https://taleofpainters.com/2021/07/to... ► The sculptor of my Stahly Eldar demo model:   / elfhead3d   💬 Also catch me on my socials: https://bsky.app/profile/stahly.bsky....   / stahly_taleofpainters     / taleofpainters   THANKS LOT AND HAPPY HOBBYING! ✊ Affiliate link, use this link to support me and my work with no extra cost to you at all, thank you very much 🖤
