I never got good at the old washes but these look like they are simple to use ill be giving them a shot thanks for posting pics =)

Ifurita Thank you for adding the pictures to the post. I will soon post some of my stuff on here. I use the first method you had. I paint the model then use the corresponding wash over them. Now I see that they even work well over primer. I am very pleased with the flow properties and they add the perfect touch to my paint jobs.

Great pics.

The washes have a very good consistency. I am surprised at how much I use the Devlan Mud (leather and bronze) and Ogryn Flesh. The time saved by not needing to thin inks or mix your own wash is well worth the $20 box and/or $3 apiece.

Take a look at my article on Paynes Grey too

Also very good as a wash over a number of different colors

I have only used the black, but have been impressed so far. It even looks good over white.

On my cadians I use the Sepia for the fatigues, the Tharak green on the armor and the ogryn flesh on the skin. THe detail that comes out in the faces is just AMAZING.

I abesolutely love the washes as far as painting goes. Easy to use, great results, good quality. I have found a two large problems with them. First, since they are thinner, it is much harder to notice in your peripheral vision if your brush has paint on it. The second problem, steming from the first, is that they taste terrible, lol.

I´ve been using these washes for my DkoK models, and they´re coming out great too.

I really like that they´re coming out non glossy, since that allows me to do easy shading of dark grey.

Also, in general i´ve been happy with their consistency.

Not too runny, just enough.

I can't agree more, the new washes are simply excellent at actually providing shading.

I was never a fan of the old inks/washes, because of the tide marks they would leave when used on a large area, and the shine they left on the finish. The new washes are much better for shading, and they have a nice consistency which is easy to get to stay where you want it.

I do like my old brown ink, however, and should probably stock up on it before it goes away. The old inks are definitely more concentrated, but I see this as a good think, as the new washes are good for layering effects.

The best thing about the new washes is definitely the matte finish. Well done, GW.

oh, i´m saving my chestnut and flesh wash, that stuff is still good for some stuff

what can you use the leviathan pruple wash for? reply please

Threadnomancy - bad.

Usually OK in this forum if commenting on and/or updating models and paint jobs.

If you've a relevant question, please repost.
