I am running out of black ink. I never used it much but now I am using inks a lot now from reading and looking at tutorials. I don't want to drive 1/2 away (each way) so my LFGS only has GW paints. I am really liking GW inks now (or what ever they call them now.) Wife bought be the box where you have 6 inks.

So what does GW call Black Ink now so I can go to my FLGS and buy it.

Its called Nuln oil.

Yes it does. Thank you very much. Greatly appreciate it.

Note that GW's washes (like nuln oil is) are NOT the same as inks. They're similar, but not exactly the same. If you want true inks you'll have to find a different brand.

If you're after actual inks, craft stores like Michaels or Hobby Lobby will have large jars of ink (on the order of several ounces). It'll cost more per jar... but since a GW jar of wash/ink is around half an ounce you're coming out WAY ahead.

Especially since craft inks will need to be HEAVILY diluted for hobby use.

Thanks guys, I will stick to the new washes. I just want to keep it simple. Now that a FLGS sells GW stuff I will stick to the GW washes and what not.
