Questions & Answers
Army painter has a purple wash, but it's a glossy finish rather than a matte finish.
The minimum is five years, but I've seen reports of ten years or more. I bought a couple when I was stationed in Germany 15 years ago, and all of them are still good after vigorous shaking, with the exception of the black (which could indicate that the bottle was not properly tightened). br>Of course, these should not be stored in direct sunlight and should be kept out of the frost.
This has yet to occur on any of my miniatures or models. You're not doing anything incorrectly, in my opinion. What kind of paint are you using as a base for this wash?

Goldar the Barbarian has had enough of washes- He's ready for the tabletop with just a little metallic detailing and highlights. It took about 15 minutes for me to complete this task. br>Vallejo Washes, thank you! This is the most money I've ever spent on a hobby.
I've been able to improve my miniature painting skills as a result of these. This set includes a wide range of colors to suit almost any need, and the colors can be mixed to create new ones as needed. Some of them are still too thick to use as a wash, but you can thin them out with a little water. I would highly recommend these to anyone who considers themselves a beginner painter but wants to advance (they are probably also good for expert painters, but I can't say because I am not one of them).
So, I've had these for a while and I have mixed feelings about them. br>Some of my favorite things are:br>- There are a lot of different colors in this range. You've got your black, light brown, dark brown, and skin standards to meet. However, a red (which is more pinkish), blue, green, and light grey are also available.
- Coverage: These are thick and can cover a lot of ground. These washes are almost enough to paint a miniature with. br>br>Things I'm not fond of:br>- These have a lot of coverage. Depending on the color (red, blue, or green), they can work well right out of the bottle, but others can leave you with a splotchy mess. They also don't thin well with water, as doing so will sometimes result in a white layer. I discovered that using vallejos thinner solves the problem and allows them to function more like regular washes.
- These bad boys are inconsistent, so you'll have to shake them really hard. Shake them hard, as if they're trying to break into your car, and as if you despise them. If not, you'll get a thick, pigmented, and sticky wash out of the bottle.
- They're sticky, to say the least. Allow for drying time between coats and avoid touching the surface with your fingers.
- It smells bad, but it's just a sepia issue. It has a bad odor to it. It's also not chemically harmful. It has a sock-like odor to it. br>br>Despite the fact that I have listed more negatives than positives, I still enjoy these washes. They work; all you have to do is get used to them. I would strongly advise purchasing a bottle of Vallejo thinner in addition to these.
Model Color paints from Vallejo are fantastic. These Game Color washes, like the rest of their Game Color paint line, are utter nonsense. Without first thinning them down, the pigment in these would be far too aggressive for use in miniatures. While I understand why paint needs to be thinned before being applied to miniatures, the need to do so for washes is absurd. I might as well buy a bottle of acrylic mixing medium and make my own if I'm going to have to thin out the washes before using them. The only reason I didn't give these a perfect score is that two of them were actually quite good. Still no match for Army Painter washes, and certainly no match for Citadel washes, but the Sepia and Light Grey washes are usable in most cases, even if the pigment is a little too aggressive.
It was disappointing. I'm a big fan of Vallejo's paint and terrain effects, and they're all great. Some of these wash colors (pale gray, sepia) are really nice. Some are decent, while others (black and green) are simply awful. The black has a muddy appearance to it. Adding more water or a flow improver isn't going to help. I tried to use the green, but it's a very pale shade. I'm not sure what you'd do with it. br>br>I wash over terrain with the black. That's supposed to have a muddy appearance. It does a good job on that, but the rest of the time - nope.
Over the last few months, I've used these washes on a variety of miniatures, and their results have varied. Some of the colors appear to perform as expected, while others leave a white residue in crevices. In a nutshell, they're unreliable when it comes to getting the desired results on well-designed websites. DO NOT PURCHASE PRIMARY MINIATURES!.
S. , the cost effectiveness is outstanding. according to the bottle br>Vallejo paints are excellent in every way. Smooth and full of color.
I hadn't painted miniatures in nearly two decades when I came across these washes. They're absolutely incredible. It's almost like cheating when you use them after you've finished painting. The finished miniatures look fantastic. The price is fantastic. They have them at my local gaming store, so I'll be purchasing them there rather than on Amazon, but if you're looking for washes, these are excellent options.
