From beginners who have never held a brush to pros who have been painting for years. Everything from tabletop wargames to board games, display pieces or just for fun! (Light brown, Dark brown and Black) I find. Quick shade (The one in the tin that you dip minis in) goes over your inks and creates shadows and and highlights based upon the colour on the tin. The act like a shade and varnish in 1, they are ment for quick hordes. Or right now I am painting up a bunch of Soda Pop chibi miniatures which I am working on a cartoon style where I don't use washes or shades, everything from darkest to lightest colors are layered without washing or shading.A community for painting miniatures and models. So the army quick shade (the tins) are different from regular shades. Board game miniatures that will be handled a lot, I don't mind going sloppier on and thats where I don't mind using quickshades. I like details to look crisp and defined at ~1 ft. Since I like to use them as display pieces while I am not actively gaming with them. I personally wouldn't use anything but a controlled wash on a war game miniature. For war gaming I apply far more attention to detail than board game miniatures. I use different techniques for different projects. Use what you think looks best, that's what personal style is all about. Washes for me are more like recess fillers, you put a wash down to darken recesses with the intent of retaining the color of the original base layer you are applying the wash to. They shade the model which transforms all the colors where quickshades touches. I see quickshades as a product to do what it says one the bottle: shade. I don't see them as interchangeable products but rather two different products for different purposes. I think washes are good, and quickshades are good. How do other people think about this? What is better? But then he uses washes on the heroes as it affords more control. Quick shade is expensive tho, and I could get the whole set of army painter washes and it'd still be cheaper than a can of quick shade.ĭoes quick shade look better than inks or washes? Or is it simply easier to use? I noticed Sorastro for example preferring quick shade when comparing it to washes from AP and Citadel. However, I'm torn between that and just getting a tin can of Quick shade. So I'm looking at getting a bottle of lighter and darker wash and perhaps a flesh wash. I'm also going to be picking up Zombicide black plague in the near future.

However, I'm painting a bunch of eldar which doesn't always go so well with the strong tone provided as it tends to darken all colors on the model. The biggest surprise has been the wash which came with the paint set: Using it really does create a lot of depth and it looks very good. The last time I painted them I was about 14 and hated painting and now I paint for it's own sake and enjoy it. I've recently bought a set of army painter paints and have started stripping all my old Warhammer models and painting them again.
