The only advantage I can see of using the dip is that it is a varnish as well, but seeing how glossy it is, I fell that I'm going to have to put coat of matt or satin over it. Īs an example of the wash finish that I normally use, the 28mm Sci-Fi figures in my last post were all finished with the mucky brown/black wash and I think the effect is just as good as Quick Shade's and is also considerably cheaper. but that rather defeats the object of the dip doesn't it? If I have to spread it around the figure with a brush I might as well use a wash - how I normally finish my figures! Perhaps they would have been ok without spreading the dip, but to me there seemed far too much to just leave it. Not having used the dip before, I spread the excess around with a brush and felt obliged to do that with all the dipped minis. There was so much dip on them that you couldn't see the gap between their legs! When pulling the minis out of the dip and then standing them on my cutting mat, they were covered in huge blobs of the dip - the Badger and Hedgehog 'during' photo shows this perfectly.

#ARMY PAINTER QUICKSHADE GUNDAM SKIN#
In the included painting guide they suggest Soft Tone Ink for flesh, but this is more of a sepia shade and makes your skin look yellowish. I think The Army Painter has really dropped the ball here. The only thing I’m missing is a proper flesh ink, a reddish brown similar to the old Ogryn Flesh wash or the new Reikland Fleshshade. Most of them are very close matches to the old Citadel Washes, which makes switching very easy. The RRP of the Ink set is 17,50 Euro, so it offers a nice additional discount than buying the inks individually. So you get 50% more wash but pay less – fantastic. They contain 18 ml for a RRP of 2,75 Euro as opposed to 12 ml for 3,20 Euro Games Workshop is asking for their Shades. Warpaint Inks from The Army Painter provide excellent value. Both washes provide a nice shading, Purple Ink has had it a bit easier because the primer on the test model wasn’t as thick as on the other one.
Personally I prefer their end result over the Shades, as I feel the pigment settles better into the recesses, but in the end it’s really up to your personal preference.Īll of the following test models have been primed white and the washes have been applied undiluted.Īs you can see, Purple Tone Ink is pretty similar to Leviathan Purple (old Citadel Washes. In comparison to the new Citadel Shades, they are slightly less runny, so you have to push them around with your brush a little bit more. They follow the same formula like the old Citadel Washes, so we suppose that they are made by the same manufacturer. They are an acrylic based product and totally different from the Quickshade dips that Army Painter are also offering. Just to be clear, even though they’re called inks, Warpaint inks are washes. The booklet is a really nice add-on to get you going with the inks, even though the layout of the booklet is often messy and the English is a bit rough.
