I an painting black Spirit Stones on my Eldar Wraithguard and Wraithlord. I want to give them a shiny look. Will nuln gloss oil do this? I want to paint stars on the Spirit Stones so I hope that the nuln gloss oil will not take away this effect. Any suggestions?

O boy.nuln oil wiol feth things up. You want the clean gloss paint, or possible the gem paints. Search on the gw youtube on spiritstones.

If your using gw paints use Ard Coat. Ard coat is clear gloss paint.

Depends, nuil oil shaken gives a good depth, let the pot settle for a week, the bottom is rather matte when dries and cracks a soft grey, the top dries a satin finish.
What you would want is a coat of brush on gloss varnish, careful though, as any relative forceful bump when it’s soft will take away the gloss, I recommend brush on a coat, then a light coat when the model is completely finished.

If you want shiny black stones with glittering stars then put down a black coat, do your stars, and gloss the whole thing. Nuln will only give a gloss coat if it’s a thick layer, which will cover anything under it.
