Replacement for Skaven Brown Ink

Greetings,
For the past 20 years I have been using Skaven Brown ink to do a lot of the lining on my miniatures. Tonight I spilled what was left in my last pot.
Can anyone suggest an ink that is a similar black/brown that I could use in it's place?

Thanks

Coat'd'Arms ink-wash-brown. It's as near to the old brown ink as it could be (both in color and in consistency)

You can also get ink at art and craft stores. There's a huge selection of brands and colours in acrylic ink varieties. You'll be shocked at the cost and the volume you get. Pleasantly, that is, it's cheap and plentiful. The bottles...not in pens...obviously. Most come in dropper bottles or have lids with droppers, which is a nice bonus as far as I'm concerned.

I hate spilling paint - only done it twice in my life but its a total bugger - spilled my P3 sanguine base the other day; I opened the lid and the pot flew from my fingers. Luckily it landed on my cutting mat and not mini I was attempting to paint.

A while ago a youtube painter released recipes for washes. The link is http://www.awesomepaintjob.com/index.cfm/resources.recipes

I believe Secret Weapon Minis make some good washes - though I have not tried them. P3 also make some nice washes, but I'd concur with MAXXxxx, Coat d'arms where the original maker/supplier of GW paints (when they were in the ooooolllld round and hex bottles). Blackhat Minis sell Coat d'Arms (http://www.blackhat.co.uk/coat_darms/paintcolours.php)

Hope that helps,

CF
