Citadel Contrast: Black Legion 18ml

A proper, dependable black is the workhorse every painter reaches for, and Black Legion is exactly that — a deep, true black that floods into recesses and shades cloth, leather, weapons and dark armour in a single honest pass. No streaky thin coats, no fighting to get into the crevices: load the brush, flood it over a light undercoat and let it do the heavy lifting. Whether you're blacking out a Chaos warband or just want a no-nonsense dark base, this is the pot that earns its keep.
