Army Painter Quickshade

Hi,

yes I have tried them on both FoW miniatures (russians and germans) as well as on some testudo TYW miniatures and I am pleased with the way they turned out. One thing I found out was that the end-result is quite dependant shade of the base color. It took some time to figure which shade of the base color gives the best result.

Regards,

Viktor

Finally got around to painting the flank companies...

I'll post a finished pic in a day or two when I can get the bases done. The final eight models were painted in two days using the Army Painter Quickshade as before.

This is the first unit in a new division for my Peninsular army! I expect to painting lots of Napoleonics this summer...

You were on the verge of blasphemy Barry, blasphemy!

For people like me who have a small attention span and as much as I'd want a decent looking 2,000 figure force, I'm much happier with my uber scary nice looking small armies. I just like watching each figure come alive, stroke by stroke.

I'm the same way. Sure, on the table the miniatures tend to blend together. However, I'm always looking closely at miniatures and like to paint to a higher standard.

Now, the way you are painting your guys is different from the standard dip, since you are adding a layer of highlight. I think this makes a huge different in quality.
