Well the Army painter stuff is quite thick actually… The guys in the store I found it were thinning it down with paint-thinner to make it easier appliable by brush and to make it run around the model a bit smoother.

I still have not had a change to experiment with it myself because I am first making my own gaming table before getting into painting.

Did you happen to see how watery the Army Painter stuff is ?

I can tell you’ve really nailed this dipping thing.

About the highlights: The other day when I found this store near me that sells the Army Painter dip I talked to a couple of guys that were painting their models ready for a dip after seeing very impressive results on some of their just finished models and what they did, instead of going for hard highlights, was to blend colours instead. So they started with their original colour, then progressively lightened it up as they came towards the raised areas – using only 2 or 3 blends without paying too much attention applying them. This left a very bright model, very ugly pre-dip I might add, but the result after using the darkest dip was really really good.

Anyway, good luck with your armies. Looking forward to seeing more.

Mike.
