Kengar Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 These are all very nice! About how long do you spend on the base coating of each fig? I assume the mounted ones and the "heroes" take a little longer than the rank & file foot soldier-types. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scipio Posted June 21, 2010 Author Share Posted June 21, 2010 Thank you. I do the rank and file in batches of 20 at a time and I would think that I spend about 5 or 6 hours basecoating each batch so that would be something around 20 minutes per model.

Scipio Posted June 21, 2010 Author Share Posted June 21, 2010 Yes quite quick, but then you add the time for gluing them together and filing them and priming them and dipping them and varnishing them and basing them and it does not feel as quick... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reaper User Vaitalla Posted June 25, 2010 Reaper User Share Posted June 25, 2010 I'm curious, re: Quick Shade, is this using the strong tone for everything or did you use their soft tone wash for some of the lighter pink/yellow stuff (you know me...always looking for ideas to nab and re-make in Reaper's image, muhahahaha!)? Great-looking Empire army. I think there are very few other armies that can stand up to a well-painted Empire army in pure visual "wow" factor. Good color/region choice, too. --Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good color/region choice, too. --Anne Thank you for your kind words. And yes very few armies can beat the look of tights and puffy arms that the empire have. :) Regarding the quick shade. I experimented with the different types of shades in the beginning to learn how they worked and what results they would give and after that I felt that the only one worth using is the darkest one "Dark Tone" that shades into black. The "Strong Tone" is brown and gives a brown hue to the models that might work in certain cases but not for my armies I think. The "Soft Tone" is so light that I think that it does not do much. Might however be worth testing more for some kind of clean High elf look or something like that. Most of the testing were on models built from extra bits laying around but in the undead army I did I have one zombie hidden in it that were done with the Dark tone: The rest of the undead army is in this thread: http://www.reapermini.com/forum/index.php?/topic/36010-dipping-project-army-of-the-dead-pic-heavy/ I apply the dip using a brush to get the correct amount on where I want it. That can make difference on the end result as the amount of shading will be dependent on the depressions of the surface applied to. Also I have found that warm colours and metallics usually looks best with the dip so I have that in mind when deciding on the colour scheme even though I make some exceptions some times.
