Grand Master Raziel Secundus Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Hi there I thinking of trying out the "dipping method" of painting large numbers of mini's. My question, what is the best / cheapest stain to use for deathwing? cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Mmm. when I painted DW, I didn't dip, I just used brown ink (which GW doesn't make anymore..STUPIDS) But.. I know dipping will give you a good resultt, BUT it will pool on the large, flat parts of the armor, which will be harder to cover with bone colored paint (even if using a mixture of Foundations) Good luck.

dragonlady Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 The new GW Sepia Wash is probably your best bet on this. Prime white, wash, then highlight. Search for the board and you will find several recent good examples of this. I'm in the middle of doing 100 terminators with this method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I almost did 100 terminators... GW Deathwing $1000..5 Lr, 100 Terminators, Captain, Chaplain, Librarian..So close... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Toddius Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 This is the best guide I know of: http://www.dysartes.com/model/painting/Dipping1.php I bet base white with some almond colored stain would work. Not sure though, haven't tried it. You should experiment using crappy old minis. Hope that helps. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Master Raziel Secundus Posted November 24, 2008 Author Share Posted November 24, 2008 Hi folks, I've got over 100 termies to finish. I'll try several methods and post the results when I'm done. Want them done, so will push myself hard to finish soon. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honda Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I am also working on a "dipping" project for, Emperor forgive me, a xenos scum army (Tyranids). What I discovered is that you can get a product called Future's Finish (or some equivalent), and then make your own tint. It does the same thing as the other stains, is a lot cheaper, $4.00 USD, but you have the advantage of being able to make your own color...and you get enough in one bottle to probably do a couple of armies. The other thing is, you don't have to do the whole "dipping" thing. You can just brush this stuff on and it yields the same results, thus saving you on your materials. No wastage. Anyway, if you aren't too far into your project, you might give that a shot, I've been very impressed with the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
