Looks great!
We’ll need to actually play the game at some point before Griff loses all patience and asks for the game back!

I think it would benefit from painting the tongue though.

Tankred – dipping is a great way to bulk paint figures. In my opinion the real key to a good looking dipped figure is really just finding an excellent matt varnish to take the shine off the dried dip. Then the translucent nature of the dip can be seen and it really works wonders on the figure.

Dustan – I aim to please, the three armed Genestealer on Terminator torso is already half base coated as part of the first clutch…!

Looks so good. I love the way the green has shaded the red on the helmet, I have read somewhere that adding green to red shading is some kinda artist trick. I would love to see the 3 armed stealer on the terminator armour in the first clutch just to see a bigger area of red with the green dip.

Tankred, dipping is great and in effort vs result it will win every time. I have all but given up on ‘real’ painting though I never realy liked the gw layered propaganda anyway. Its too hard to get right and if you dont it looks rubbish next to a dipped model. but its ok cause you can just dip it and it will look alot better ;)

The green dipped area ist really stunning. to be honest it looks far more better than a lot of layered miniatures out there. Somehow its a little bit shocking how good that works. I need to look at your instructions for the dip again.
