Im starting to paint another army now and I was wondering what washes people use, I havent used any so far, I usually just take some choas black and water it down and use that on everything.
Im about to order some more paint so I was wondering if anyone recommends the GW washes or the secret weapon ones?
I like the GW washes, also I have been playing around with Les Bursley's wash recipe and have ordered his pre-made washes off the website. They are really good, and I don't have to send GW any money when I run out of their washes.
Keep in mind this is from someone who HATES to paint! Anything that allows me to kick a model through the paint process faster I am a fan of...washes are my "talent in a bottle".
I absolutely love the GW washes. They all have something to offer, and really help bring a model together.
I use GW washes. I also make my own with diluted Future floor polish/cleaner.
Washes are amazing. They make every color look a bit more organic and even. plus it's insta-shade-in-a-can.
Yeah look at Beamo's Bjorn model he just spray painted it blue and then washed it with Badab Black and Bam!
True story, though I did do the freehand on the banner entirely with devlan mud.Quote:

I absolutely hate painting, but the easy results that washes provide make it bearable.
So sounds like the GW ones are the way to go....
Id say GW or Les Bursely's
