Captain Blint Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Hail Brothers, I've been in the hobby for a few years now and have a mostly painted Ultramarines army, but every time I attempt to highlight it just doesn't seem to come out right. I've seen some examples ofy guys, models painted with Army Painter products and have been pretty impressed, especially by the results Quickshade seems to give. However, I was wondering if anyone has any experience using the quickshade on models they painted using Citadel paints. Picture examples would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any feedback Brothers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badelaire Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Hopefully my reply will give this a bump. I've been wondering about this as well. I use Devlan Mud for shading and it works great, but for almost $4 a pot it is extraordinarily expensive. I have considered brushing on the Army Painter quickshade and I'm curious how the two compare, since it is probably three or four times cheaper, volume for volume.

EmbattledSoul Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...l=embattledsoul my use of it, be sure the model is held firm when you fling off the excess, or it might be missing a limb after it hits the deck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
templarboy Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I have used Quickshade. It works great as long you practice a bit. I don't dip, I brush it on. I don't use the Army Painter stuff anymore though. 30 bucks is kind of expensive when you can buy a very large can of Minwax Polyshades for less than half the price. It is the same stuff. You will have to hit your fig with a matte sealer to knock down the gloss. The Army Painter website has some pretty good tutorials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrion Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I might as well put my question on here too... The quickshade obviously makes the mini go all shiny and you're supposed to use a matt varnish to bring it down, but say you were painting a Tyranid, or Daemon and wanted the skin to stay shiny but dull the armour/carapace/weapons, is there a matt varnish that can be brushed on so as to keep the shiny parts but dull the dull parts?

ShasVa Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 You could matt-varnish the whole model, and then re-gloss certain parts with 'Ardcoat. It's a thought! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
