Dungeon Saga - The Warlord of Galahir
24 Oct 2018: Orcs 'n Dip
The next step was to break out the Army Painter Quickshade dip. I’ve got a near full tin from a previous project, so it’s an easy choice. Part of the reason I chose this method for this project.
Rather than actually dip I opted to brush it on. It gives much better control than the AP recommended “shake off” method. Also, I’m far less likely to throw a freshly dipped miniature in the sand and gravel downstairs, like I did that other time…
2 Nov 2018: Almost done... ah $h!#
Thinking I was done, I varnished the minis. Nope, not finished. The dreaded Frost.
Either I didn’t prep the Matt spray properly, or the day was just too humid (Nov. in my part of the country, quite likely). Whatever it was, the varnish frosted.
I recall I got help from our awesome community here, pretty sure I used olive oil to rectify it. Paint it on, wipe it off. Re-spray again. The day was saved! I wish I’d remembered more recently that this had happened….
