Drakenhof Nightshade is a deep, rich blue shade wash from the Citadel range, named after the ancient castle of the Vampire Counts in the World-That-Was. Applied over a dried basecoat, it flows into recesses and surface detail, leaving a deep blue shadow that cools and deepens blue, grey, and metallic colour schemes from a single application.
The shade is one of the most widely used in the Citadel range because of its versatility across faction colour schemes. Space Marine blue armour - Ultramarines, Space Wolves, Blood Ravens, and custom blue Chapters - use Drakenhof Nightshade as the standard shading step after a blue basecoat to create shadow depth in armour panel recesses and joint gaps. Grey and silver metallic armour, including Stormcast Eternals and bone-white armour, takes on a cold, slightly blue shadow quality with the shade that reads more refined than a standard brown wash over grey. Nighthaunt and Soulblight Gravelords undead models suit the cool blue shadow throughout their pale, cold-toned models. The shade also works on Tyranid carapace in blue-purple schemes and wherever a deep blue shadow is needed to cool and deepen a colour rather than warming it brown.
