![]() ![]() I know it won't win Golden Deamon, but it looks OK for my Deathwing Army. That's it! All in all I spend less than 20 minutes on this model. Matt Varnish.I finshed off with a few very thin coats of Anti-Shine Matt Varnish to remove the gloss from the dip. Next the model is left to dry for 24+ hours outside in the garage - it's nasty stuff. I chose the mid dip called Strong Tone.*It's dead easy to use, just remember to shake the tin before use, stick to an old brush (or you'll ruin it for sure), make sure the Quickshade doesn't pool. Shade with Quickshade Dip.Even though it's called a dip, I just painted on the Quickshade also from The Army Painter. Notice how I stick to fairly bright colours - the Quickshade will tone it all down in the next step.If I made a mistake on the Bone, I touched up with a spot of Bleached Bone (GW). I painted in flat block colours (no highlights, ink washes or outlining) using Goblin Green (GW), Red (Warpaints), Metal (Warpaints), Astronomicon Grey (GW)*and Bacl (Warpaints). Basecoating.Now it's time for regular painting. I want to paint my Menoth army fairly quickly so I want to do a dip/wash method. Excellent coverage and nice matt surface. I have Army Painter Quickshade and the stuff to make a brown Oil Wash. Colour Primer.I sprayed the model with Colour Primer: Skeleton Bone from The Army Painter. I just thought that the washes were a smaller bottle of the same 'Quickshade'. I added a few plastic feathers cut from a spare Goblin Spider Rider, apart from that*the model was ready for priming. Being a new painter i did not realise for a long time that there was actually a difference between Army Painter Quickshade and their Quicksahde Washes. With a sharp hobby knife*I cut off the Blood Angel insignia. Preparation.I've chosen a Terminator from the Space Hulk boxed set - lovely detail and great poses. This guide is for all of those, who doesn't have the time to masterclass a whole army, let alone getting the boxes of miniatures under the bed ready for gaming.Step 1. I tried a bit of scraping at the figures with my fingernail and a knife, but didn't notice much difference.I've seen many Speedpaint Articles on the net, so allow me to add my version to the quest for the holy grail of getting your army ready for gaming. I would be interested if anyone knows whether the Quickshade is stronger. It may be that the polyurethane varnish doesn't form as strong a coating on the figure as the solvent-based Quickshade, but that's the only possible advantage I can think of for using it. Using a wash will bring out details in a model by darkening the deeper textures in a model’s surface. Vedict? The water based stain from Cabots didn't smell, brushed on more easily than Quickshade, seems to do the same job of shading and is a quarter the cost. Army Painter Quickshade is a great example of a wash that rapidly adds contrast to a model. Here's a figure after being painted with the Cabot's varnish, with a top coat of Vallejo matt varnish, and before highlighting. The figure on the left has Quickshade Strong Tone applied with a brush, the one on the left has Cabots, also brushed on. To start with, the Cabots varnish cost about $25 for half a litre, as opposed to around $40-50 for 250ml of Quickshade. There are various shades of stain, and it is available in satin and gloss. It's a water-based polyurethane varnish with stain in it, made by Cabots. ![]() Over the past month my tin of Quickshade has steadily been turning into a lumpy, thick disgusting mess, so I got myself down to Bunnings (a chain of hardware stores here in Australia) to find an alternative. In an ideal world I wouldn't, as I would much prefer to carefully shade my figures blah blah, but the realities of busy life at the moment means that a product that can shade and varnish does save me time.īeing used to working with acrylics though, I don't enjoy the fumes of the solvent-based Quickshade, and have often thought that there must be some sort of equivalent water-based product. I have been using Army Painter Quickshade 'dip' over the past year or so. ![]()
