Hello there!
I started painting my first minis very recently.
Even though they are at very beginner's level i want to preserve them for history)
+they are good test subjects for sealing with varnishes, because i heard a lot of people have troubles with it...

So... I planned brush on Vallejo Polyurethane gloss varnish which i already have and do some oil wash after that. And than finish with some matt.
I thought about AP antishine, but it's too scary after i read some articles...
So i decided to go with brush on version of vallejo again.

I can get 2 types of it but don't know about differences between them
27527 Vallejo Acrylic Polyurethane Varnish Matte
and
VAL28518 Liquid Varnish Matt

First off, welcome to Dakka!!

If you like a good matte and want to spray I recommend Testors Dullcote. Ultra Matte. Great stuff.

Thank you

Heard a lot of good about T.Dullcote but likely i want to brush on varnish for some reasons:
Can do it indoors
I wont be worried much about humidity and temperature
(fails like foggy or frosty layers)
It seems good idea to stick to one brand to avoid chemical reactions between varnishes e.t.c.
+It's very hard to get here others spray varnishes than Army Painter.

So I'll be grateful if someone can describe differences between two i mentioned and advised which should I get.
