DARK KRAKEN

I was a bit skeptical about one-coat gradients, but after trying it on a space marine’s pauldron, the transition from dark to light looked smooth and natural. The paint flowed easily from the brush without needing thinning.

The one-coat gradient is exactly what it promises—I painted a cloak in about five minutes and the shading just appeared, no blending needed. The paint flows smoothly right out of the bottle, and it dries fast enough that I can layer a second mini immediately after.

Got the gradient effect in a single coat on my space marine's cloak, which saved me a ton of layering time. Only gripe is the paint's a bit thinner than I'd like for edge highlights, but for basecoating it's dead simple.
