Was gonna make a 50/50 wash of agrax earthshade and nuln oil, but don't have any nuln oil. Can I substitute badab or will it be too dark and kill the paintjob?

When in doubt, add water. I used Badab Black exclusively for darker shading, but switched to Nuln Oil because it went on smoother. Dilute it a bit, then give it a shot. The worst that will happen is you need to re-paint.

I believe Badab Black is the old equiv of Nuln Oil, so yes it should work as it was still just a black wash.
