Hi I'm new at the whole 40k thing and im currently trying to assemble my tools and paints to get started and i ran accross less' recipes. My question is it possible to buy the 1oz and 1/2 oz bottles indiviually or do you have to buy the bags of 48 of them? The other question i have is " are the new recipes 1/2 oz when he says .5 becuase the recipe seems to ask for a lot of ink drops in the smaller bottles than the 1 oz bottles.

To answer your first question: I'm pretty sure you can only buy them in bulk. I haven't found a place to purchase single bottles yet, so good luck in your search.

2nd question: I think it's 1/2 oz.

says here that you fill it half with medium, then the rest with distilled water/flow-aid leaving a bit of room for ink drops.

I guess it's up to the makers discretion.

Why is it that only those who have never fought in a battle are so eager to be in one?

You want the 15cc Natural dropper. $.32 each and can be ordered in any quantity.

Nice tip - when I tried Les' washes for the first time, the only bottles I could get my hands on where the Vallejo 35ml Mixing Bottles. They do have a nice measuring index on the side, but unfortunately they cost a pretty penny.

As always, enjoy and have fun!

If you just want 1 or 2 bottles - go to http://www.secretweaponminiatures.com/ They use Les recipe for their wash products. I'm finding Dark Sepia to be a good dark brown wash.

Thanks for providing the link. Is it more cost effective to just buy the washes already done? It'll cost me over a hundred dollars to make them myself. Since im not intending to sell them myself I was trying to avoid buying all the bulk stuff. Is the secret weapon site safe?
