<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Source for non-GW washes?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Source for non-GW washes? GW washes are starting to run out and I've been looking for replacements. I've tried a couple of washes from different companies but found that they tend to be quite gritty (and one thing I will say is that the GW washes are very smooth).

Does anyone have any particular good experience with washes from any particular company? I want one with a good range of colours, both bright and muted. Dropper bottles are not required but I would not say no ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548985/5996064.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548985/5996064.page GMT Re:Source for non-GW washes? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/261541.page]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548985/5996119.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548985/5996119.page GMT Source for non-GW washes? SW suppliers. THey claim to have equivalents for Badab Black, Gryphonne Sepia and Devlan Mud.

Their Dark Tone Ink is the old badab black. It seems exactly the same and works well.

WE haven\t bought their Devlan Mud equivalent.

We also own the Soft Tone Ink, I think it's called, which is supposed to be Gryphonne Sepia - I'm more disappointed in this one, pretty certain it's more grey/dirty and less toffee-coloured than Gryphonne sepia. I've just bought the P3 mid brown, which looks promising. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548985/5996127.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548985/5996127.page GMT Re:Source for non-GW washes?

I do make a lot of my own washes, I just want something handy and ready made so I don't have to mess around ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548985/5996149.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548985/5996149.page GMT Source for non-GW washes?

Secret Weapon Washes are supposed to be super awesome, but I have not tried them yet.


I have their heavy black and even with lots of shaking before use iy can still come out grainy and patchy. It was one of the brands i looked at to try out when my gw supply ran low. I might try out a couppe of other colours from tgem to see if i just got a dud bottle or somethinh.

To make matters worse, I have a tiny amount of Gryphonne Sepia left.. it reminds me why I miss it. I would try a direct comparison with the AP Soft tone but someone's borrowed. I'll try it when we get it back. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548985/5997414.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548985/5997414.page GMT Re:Source for non-GW washes?
They have some very interesting colours (I use dried blood and algae quite often) but they do seem to leave a high gloss finish, not a problem if you routinely flat coat the finished article (I do) but could be a p in the a if you don't. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548985/5997444.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548985/5997444.page GMT Source for non-GW washes?

How do you guys view Vallejo's washes? I've been using them for a couple of weeks but I'm having a bit of issues with them lifting when painting over them.. maybe I need to wait longer for them to dry..?
Only used one (Flesh Wash), but I haven't had or even heard of any issues with lifting. It's a bit thicker and more intensely pigmented than a GW wash, at least straight out of the bottle, but behaves almost identically, once thinned. Longer dry time should solve the problem.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548985/5997865.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548985/5997865.page GMT Re:Source for non-GW washes? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548985/5997907.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548985/5997907.page GMT Re:Source for non-GW washes? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548985/5997979.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548985/5997979.page GMT Source for non-GW washes? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548985/5999221.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548985/5999221.page GMT Re:Source for non-GW washes? gw washes, ive tried a couple if them and they do leave a shiny finish, personally I prefer the army painter ones, just not keen on the dropper bottles]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548985/6000844.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548985/6000844.page GMT Source for non-GW washes? FW use Daley Rowny artist's inks (http://www.hobbycraft.co.uk/advancedsearchresults.aspx?filter=Brand~Daler-Rowney/&query=artists-inks) mixed with GW glaze medium.
Might be worth a shot??

It's not really new as it's been out for several years. Nor is it really a wash and is more analogous to the polyurethane that you would use for dipping models.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548985/6002348.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548985/6002348.page GMT Re:Source for non-GW washes?

Agh I meant super WASH not super shader...

You're right about the shader being more dip-like]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548985/6004409.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548985/6004409.page GMT
