[tbeard1999]

This is a tutorial that doesn’t use an airbrush. 25 minis in 105 minutes.

Amazing.

Might be a good idea to repeat the formula for magic black wash.

Do you have a goal for overall army size?

Thanks. I think I put the formula in one of my tutorials. I’ll dig it out and add it.

I haven’t set any goals for army size. Frankly, the price of Ogre minis is so ridiculously reasonable (thank you) that I’ll probably just keep adding models and trying new techniques and paint schemes. This particular tutorial was for ColBosch - it doesn’t use an airbrush.

I’m gonna try to do a set that takes 3 minutes or less per model at some point. We’ll see about that...

Thanks! Next set I do, I'll time each step and see how my technique measures up to yours. I suspect that mine takes longer, due to the multiple drybrush stages, but I really like having the sharp highlights.

Interestingly, your drybrush techniques have intrigued me. They really produce good looking minis. I think I’ll try them on the next batch I paint.

Not to hijack, but my preferred wash is Fiebing's black shoe leather dye, diluted about 85 or 90% in denatured alcohol. I suspect it would play heck with acrylic paints before they are hard cured though.
