{Paint} Washes, inks, etc.

So, I've discovered a new wash in VMC "Smoke", a nice, grimy brown. My
question to the populace is: what other washes, inks, etc. would you
suggest I try? GW inks are nice, but a bit to bright for my taste. Im
looking for a good, all-purpose "hide the spots I couldnt get" wash/ink.
Maybe someone has a wash/ink recipe that might fit the bill?

thx

Windsor and Newton inks.

Try thinned paint. It's more opaque than pure inks or standard washes.

Personally, I use a lot of thinned Floquil Engine Black as a wash.

I tend to use thinned paint (with either acrylic mat medium which
gives similar results to 'Future Floor Wax' - i.e. the paint particles
settles more in the nooks and crannys) when I only want to change the
recessed areas of a mini - and inks more when I want to do an overall
value or color 'tweak' of a given area.

I just layer paint really thin into the shadows.

I've moved away from inking, as the color intensity is too high.
Lately, I've been using inks to tint color mixes from a white, pale
grey, or blue-grey paint base.
