In this video we're using pigments as a wash for your miniatures. Washing with pigments gives you a massive level of control over the gradients of color that result.

Dry pigments can be manipulated for an almost indefinite period of time whereas acrylic, watercolor, or oil washes will all dry eventually. Sure you can re-wet the watercolor or oils, but the once the acrylic is dry, it's done. Plus, they're cheap! I hop you enjoy the video and find something useful in it.

Next video we're going over using graphite to add wear and tear to your miniatures! Keep your eyes to your Subscribed feed!

Thank you for posting! I'll definitely give this a try for a yellow paint scheme I had in mind for my Firestorm Armada fleet.

Question: how do you seal the pigment on? Matte primer?

Great tutorial. I have the same question: how do you fix the pigments? And can you paint over the pigments or will this destroy the effect?(after you've fixed them) thanks mate

The wolves go for the throat.
We go for the eyes.
Then the tongue.
Then the hands.
Then the feet
Then we skin the crippled remains.

Just hit the model with another coat of matte or gloss sealant. I would use matte, especially if you're going to be applying more paint. Then keep painting.

As an alternative, if you want more of the pigment to color the flat surfaces, use a matte coat as a base instead of the gloss.
