Mixing Wash Medium With Tone
In the spirit of experimentation we take to the tabletop once again and show off what Stu has been doing as he explores just what happens when you do some interesting things with washes.
Take a look at see what you think of them right now and see if you would try this on your Undead.
Always good to see new ways to shade and tint. Very nice finish.
Nice tip
Cool! Like that idea.
nice idea, but has already painted his other faction too?
first: brilliant idea for the skeletons, i’m loving it.
second: i need to get me a bottle of that stuff asap!
Have used this technique on my old war hammer plastic skeletons and wanted to tie in my new minis to the same scheme, the medium makes it easier to move the ink around and stops the chalky look you can get over the larger flat areas. Great stuff!
You can also DIY mix floor polish with paint to wash pigment into recesses like that, with the advantage that you are using the full range of colors available to you.
Any particular type of floor polish? We don’t really use anything like that in our home at the moment.
Another great tip! I really am gutted not to be up there now!
The is quite a big difference between those two minis. Great video!
some dry brushing would look nice on those skelettons 🙂
Sounds like the mixing medium is something I will have to get my hands on. That’s great because it helps to eliminate having good to go back over to base highlight.
I will have to ask my local store to start carrying that medium
I like it. Might have to try that myself.
Nice to see a different paint scheme and the differences between using the mixing wash medium and simply the quickshade.
I’m using this with ‘regular’ paint as well, and not just washes. I’m really happy with the result I get.
What is this AP magic.
Love the ethereal look to those skellies.
The mixing medium is a must get
Love the end result using this medium will have to buy some
very cool tip, I like the look of both forces being green focused but I am a sucker for greens.
Hey thats just soo good…always were frustrated about toning the whole painted part and had to go over it again with the original colour and then a highligt…but this is the answer!
Sold! I want a bottle in my kit 🙂
Nice tactic
Mixing medium is nothing new. I think the GW Nihilac Oxide method gives much nicer ghostly effects.
is the medium part of the mega set we can win?
Definitely going to hunt some of that medium down and give it a try.
