Is Newsh an option for Grimdark effects?

Many have tried newsh but this is not only trying the newsh, it is comparing it directly. When doing exactly the same Boxdark Bretonnian Mousillon color scheme the differences can be directly compared.
Newsh claims to be a product that can give any acrylic color some of the properties of oil colors but there seems to be an inherent flaw in using an acrylic medium for the grime effects so common in the more Grimdark painting style.
While there seems to be an inherent flaw the speed and ease of use might just make it worth for many to try.

i like the stains, if you chose more of a brown or red than a black then the stains would look better.

I love your approach! Why not just embrace it and make it a feature :)

Very interesting product. I had only really heard the name before not seen it being used. It does have that same leap of faith moment as the oils when you coat the whole mini but just like the oils it did clear up basically in the areas you don’t want it in. The process certainly seems quick, at least compared with the original time taken to paint the mini with regular colours. Bit of a shame it does leave some marks on the flat areas….maybe they could be dealt with by being a little more selective on where to put it at the first step? The darker stained parts on the flat area didn’t detract from the mini too much though Overall looks worth trying 👍

I would say it is even more of a leap of fate as you have a smaller window of opportunity to get things right :) Being more restrictive in application could be an option. But then you loose quite a part of the point. Perahaps a midway could be to imidiately wipe some off. I'll be doing some Skaven for a friend and that could perhaps be a good opportunity to explore some more as they are also a bunch where some stains will make no difference unless you tell someone that you did not want them there :P

@@honestminis9530 sounds like another excellent opportunity to test it out. Skaven would be perfect for it. Definitely being acrylic you have much less lead time to play with but the Bretonnians turned out quite nicely, I’m sure the Skaven will too and perhaps the process will get a little easier with more practice

I have found, with my experiments with Newsh, that it works best doing only a few models at a time rather than 10. I feel like also a small makeup sponge works a little better than a q tip.

Awesome Thank you for the comment in general and the advice in particular!

Hmm, I think enamels are the way to go for drying time and reduction technique. This is only a good option, like you said, if someone's doesn't want to mess with other paint mediums.

I mainly use oils as they can be used both for painting and grime and it keeps down the number of products in my drawer :) I could however not resist to pick up some Villainy Ink enamels but they have not arrived yet..

Have you used AK interactives streaking grime line of products? Still smells, but is pretty easy to get a similar effect.

@honestminis9530 22 күн бұрын

I have tried them but I find the regular grime to green so I prefer to just mix my own with oils. It is covered in my video "Dwarves fail to go Grimdark". That said I still use the Dark Streaking Grime when I do TOW basing as explained (shortly) in "Why no grimdark in The Old World" Thank you for commenting!

Newsh dries in about 15 minutes.. do batches of 5 and you should be fine.

You're probably right. I've realized that I tried to use it in exactly the same way as oils but just because it fills the same role does not mean it has to be used in exactly the same way.
