If you prime your models grey or white, you can grab the proper color ink for the area you want to paint and apply it neatly. However, if you just want to paint and shade things quickly without a lot of fuss, I would suggest painting in inks and washes alone. This should work even when the varnish has dried. If you want to use the Quickshade but don't want to significantly darken the entire model, you could try using a paper towel or q tip that is slightly damp with paint thinner or white spirits and wiping off the 'highlight' areas. I'm not exactly sure, but it wouldn't surprise me if Quickshade were one of these.

It began with historical miniature painters dipping their minis in the kinds of products you'd normally use in wood finishing, such as urethane or polyurethane stains and varnishes. Quickshade is some kind of varnish.ĭipping models was en vogue some years back as a fast and easy way to shade models. Wash is basically just very thin acrylic paint with a high pigment density and perhaps a flow improver. Is it really much quicker than using a traditional wash? Whats the difference between a traditional type wash and quickshade? I not used any other traditional wash yet. Several people seen me using it and usually ask 'why not use just a normal GW wash'. I got the quickshade cause of all the buzz about speedy painting etc. Im happy with 'Average' looking models, and have been looking for ways to streamline the whole painting process. I have a habbit of picking infantry heavy armies ( 40k / FoW), sooo many little dudes to paint. I do enjoy painting, but I prefer the playing more. I have a bad back and spending any extended amount of time in one position hunched over can get quite uncomfortable/painful. Or highlight models (though i dont want to be spending too long on each model). So i figure im either gonna have to use a brighter/lighter version of colours (suprisingly difficult to figure out). not dipping models, just brushing over whole thing then brushing excess off) (maybe im leaving too much quickshade on there?. I been doing some test models, they coming out a lot darker than expected.
