It's definitely got potential over browns, reds, skin and gold I would say. I reckon barbarians or beastmen would be suitable for an all over application of Targor Rageshade.

Hello, thanks for watching. Typically when I am doing facings I will paint the facing colour and then go back over the lace with something like Vallejo Off White. EDIT: Hat trim would be a light grey, such as Vallejo Game Ghost Grey, and then the Off White.

@@CullodenPaintingStudio Thank you kindly for the advice. I am circling the black hole, that is miniature wargaming, and have yet to decide if I want to jump in or not. The fine videos on painting, such like yours, have been enourmously helpful, so far, taking some of the edge off the fear of having to start with utterly ugly minis. Speaking of mines, I understand a very important part of good mini painting is the quality of molding and modeling on the mini itself. I hase a feeling the details on minis from Warhammer (either variant) and many other fantasy or purely arts based figures seem to be very precisely molded. Many historical figures look like they are not quite as crisply molded. Is that in fact true or am I missing something/looking wrong?

@@lutzderlurch7877 that's a fair comment about the quality of casts. I think that a lot of historical figures are made by very small operations with limited resources using more traditional techniques than quite a few of the fantasy/sci fi manufacturers out there. Even the big ones like Warlord Games and Perry Miniatures are small fry compared to Games Workshop. A few companies are now producing kits that have been created using 3D software (Victrix, Wargames Atlantic) and the difference in quality is improving. There are some stunningly rendered historical kits out there if you know where to look, and some wonderfully characterful figures with charming, if not cutting edge, designs too!

Thanks for watching this one as well. I do have a very slow burning AWI project on the go. I have been mainly working on militia but have a few continental regiments lined up. I'll be sure to make videos on how I paint them at some point. I think Vallejo are always a solid bet when it comes to painting. Good price and coverage!

Thanks for watching. The Vallejo shades are now on my list to test out.

I quite like the CDA paints. They are a pretty good replacement for my old tall hex pots of Citadel from the 90s. Shame about these washes! Vallejo are on my list to test out now.

Just a shame that the others missed the mark so much.

No doubt that Citadel is very expensive in comparison!

It looks significantly worse than citadel and army painter so you get what you pay for lol

@@porcu12345 I think Army Painter probably shades it on value and results, so to speak!

It could have other uses for sure.

Probably the right move. Glad I could be the guinea pig for you!

@@CullodenPaintingStudio thanks for the sacrifice lol

It was interesting to test them out. I don't think they will replace the Army Painter washes I mostly use.

@@CullodenPaintingStudio I'm currently using darkstar molten miniatures washes

​@@basicminiaturepaintingoh I think I remember you sharing some pics of those washes at work on Facebook. They may get added to my list of washes to try. Also thinking about the Two Thin Coats range.

I can't really recommend these over the Army Painter or GW washes. Happy to have done the experiment though.

Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks. I am very happy with them!

Glad you liked it.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks mate

Maybe Vallejo one day. AK Interactive are not going to appear though. Using imagery from the Holocaust in an advertising campaign for a book was unconscionable.

A big bottle of flow improver probably does the job just as well. Thought testing the branded stuff was the most fair way of doing the test.

Glad you like the video. There are loads of applications for the shades or washes, and while there probably is a "best" product for each job it's a lot of work to find it. I think that the filter effect that the GW shades gives could be very appropriate for dirtier finishes for example. I haven't handled any of the Two Thin Coats range yet so may need to look out for them myself.

@@CullodenPaintingStudio the Duncan washes are very nice imo, they’re most comparable to the original citadel washes in that they tint extremely well so give great bits of shadows to work with. Battle Mud Wash for example is the agrax earth shade equivalent and I prefer it to old citadel currently. It looks a bit murky on the palette, but I think is because it has a drop of matte medium in it because it dries so matte.

@@legiox217 that's good to know. Maybe I will seek them out for a video at some point.

@@CullodenPaintingStudio I am keen to compare them to the army painter versions now haha. They were so much stronger than the new citadel washes that it made my new formula citadel washes seem like they had no pigmentation… they do flow nicely into recesses but when you need to stain or tint something the new citadels aren’t great at all for me, though I hear applying two coats gets a similar effect. I have the “old” dark tone I believe …so I guess I need to grab a bottle of the new one now.

Thanks very much. I'm glad I'm not the only one who wanted to see the difference between the ranges.

Strong Tone is a great all-rounder. Adding some medium is my preference.

@@CullodenPaintingStudio 👍

Though I am a confirmed tight-wad and just use brown ink and Flash floor polish (which comes out the same for a fraction of the price) 🙂

@@pumbar An absolute classic.

@@CullodenPaintingStudio 🤣👍

Yeah, there's definitely a difference between old and new AP Washes. I did a video on them recently to show the changes. Overall a change for the best!

Hello, aside from the Warhammer shop, there is Ellerium Games (board and card games, RPGs, GW) and an online shop that organises some gaming days in a church hall www.simpaul-wargaming.com/ Not a whole lot of hobby shops in this part of the world.

That's a nice church kit. There is a ramshackle house as well as one in good repair that would work as well.

Thanks Phil

That's true. I picked it up for it's gothic horror look as there's a solo scenario that needs a church. I reckoned it fit the bill for that perfectly.

Cheers. They are well worth getting.

Hello. The miniatures are from Perry Miniatures Napoleonic French Line 1812-1815

Thank you. They got a couple of Normandy games recently. Won one, lost one so far!

Thanks very much.

Thank you!

Cheers. Just wish it had recorded properly!

Thanks. I'm happy to have found a method for getting tabletop ready miniatures in a speedy way that doesn't look half bad!

You're welcome. Thanks for watching.

Cheers dude

Thanks for watching. Leviadon Blue is a good choice.

Thanks very much. I am happy with the finish for sure.

Thanks

That's cool. Thanks for watching.

Thanks. Very happy with the results considering the speed of painting.

I was a bit surprised at just how rapid it was. Having a spray paint in the majority colour helped a lot. I'll be making a video of the other bits and the final project for sure.

There wasn't much song and dance about them being included with the launch of the Fanatic paint range. Guess they were focussing on the paints and not the washes.

Thanks for watching.

Thanks, they turned out pretty well. I have since found out the hard way that Xpress Colors reactivate with brush on Winsor & Newton matt varnish which has been really disappointing.

@@CullodenPaintingStudio i have heard that basically any but contrast paint has reactivation issues. Which as I dont own or have space for an airbrush puts me off. I need to try that W&N matt varnish as hear its ultra matt. I use the Vallejo stuff atm

@@BrushQuill You can get the W&N in a spray can which seals things without reactivation fortunately.

I haven't got any of the blue/magenta/not a shade of brown washes yet. I don't often have a use for them. I am impressed by the new Dark Tone.

Cheers. Glad the comparison is useful.

Thanks for watching. You thought you were going mad because no one else was doing a comparison, or that you noticed a difference between old and new?

@@CullodenPaintingStudio Ha! Should have been clearer. 😅 Yeah, definitely that there's a difference between the old and the new. "We didn't change the formula" my eye!

@@SonicSledgehammerStudio ah ha. There is definitely something different!

Cheers Justin. Pretty good results all considered.

Yeah, that's something I can't be sure of with the test. Maybe I should re-test with the "new" ones in a couple of years and compare to see if there is degradation.

I am glad to hear that you liked it. Thanks for watching.
