The paints used on both are comparable (Vallejo Khaki grey for the uniform etc). Here's a picture of a mini painted with the old versions of dip and matte varnish:Īnd here's one where the new versions of both have been used: I switched to a Vallejo matt varnish instead, which is better, but not quite as good as the old AP. 2) just go for it - make confident strokes. The best tips I can give are: 1) steady the figure and your hand by bracing both against the table. Dont worry, using the Dip Method its easy since you dont have to be perfect. Again, the bottles are labelled anti-shine matte varnish just as before, but the content seems quite different. This was the most intimidating step to start. But the newer bottles are almost milky white before drying and the end result is much less matte. This used to be completely clear and gave a super-matte finish. Has anyone else had this problem? Or have I had the misfortune to come across a faulty tin of dip? Could the problem be solved by mixing the strong tone 50/50 with the dark tone perhaps (I havent tried the dark tone)?Īround the same time I also incidentally (or not?) noticed a change in AP:s bottled matt (anti-shine) varnish.
Try making a rust wash for the metal parts that flows into the recesses with our Dry Rust, and Quickshade Mixing Medium Effects Warpaints. Finish with a drybrush of Goblin Green, then Snake Scales for the brightest highlights. Then apply a Soft Tone Wash followed by Red Tone Wash. But it works less well on my napoleonic Russians, where both the red and the dark green become much too, well, brown! For general shading there needs to be more black in there. Start with the Warpaints Air Greenskin Colour Triad. The new one works OK with some, as with the Perry US ww2 I am working on right now - they are supposed to be very brown and that's what you get with the new dip. To me, the old version was a good all-round wash to shade all minis. It also seems to take a lot longer to dry and harden, perhaps twice as long (let's say 48 hours vs 24). The new stuff is lighter and much more brown in color.
After using it for a while, I realized that this tin contained a "dip" of a very different shade from the old one, even though it is still labelled "strong tone". However, I bought a new tin, I think it must have been around a year ago or so. I have used this product for a few years now and I think it has been a very useful thing. I have been annoyed about the Army Painter Quickshade "dip" ever since I ordered my latest tin.
