@truthslayer : I’ve re-installed the app and the technique is still listed in the ‘techniques’ section and as part of the ‘parade ready’ painting instructions overview.

And looking at the ‘paint by model’ instructions the dry brushing steps are included in the ‘parade ready’ part of models.
The paint steps might differ between the ‘contrast’ and ‘classic’ guides though.

Same thing is done in the colour based painting guides. Drybrushing is in the ‘parade ready’ section of a guide.
Example : ‘Purple black’ requires a dry brush using ‘dawn stone’ when using contrast paints, but the ‘classic’ technique tells you to use ‘layer’

Now I don’t know if their previous guides had more colours / models that required dry brushing as part of the final step in the painting guides.

btw : it looks not all colours or models have a ‘contrast’ paint guide at this time.
I’m guessing that’s because there aren’t any contrast paints suitable to those particular colour variants or because the guides haven’t been updated yet.
