The cavalrymen on the right got coated with Army Painter Strong Tone.10 Things Nobody Tells You About Painting a Room White - Remodelista Icon - Arrow Left An icon we use to indicate a rightwards action. The ones in the middle got entirely coated with Coat d'Arms Dark Brown.

The one on the left got the dark horses and the riders coated with Coat d'Arms Black, softer colours with Dark Brown. The cavalry below have been painted with base colours and then given coats of different shaders. The minis are Magister Militum 15mm scale Romans. Quickshader is oily, it dries overnight and you can't just clean the brushes with water. It is fast and convenient as acrylics are. The cans cost 24.99EUR / £19.99 each so per millilitre the Army Painter seems to be slightly more expensive (add to this the waste of drying up fluid). I would be really happy with the Quickshade in smaller bottles, similar to the Coat d'Arms ones.īoth the strong tone and dark tone create nice shading, the dark tone shifting the colours noticeably towards darker hues, the strong tone giving them just a slight sepia cast. Needless to say you lose product that way. After a time you have to remove the hardened fluid or the can will not close. Since I use it for brushing I'm finding the can too large, very inconvenient. The can of paint is big (250ml), suitable for dipping. It is called a dip, so you should dip minis in the can but I find this procedure to be too messy, getting rid of extra fluid is hard without using a brush and if you are already using a brush why not just paint it on? This is what I do. Quickshade is oily, has to be left overnight to dry completely. Strong Tone is roughly the equivalent of Coat d'Arms Dark Brown, Dark Tone however is not like Black. I have the Strong and Dark ones so can't share any insights about the Soft one. The Quickshade also comes in three colours: Bottles are screw-caps, very convenient to use. They come in 60mm bottles, each costing £5. All of them are acrylics, dry fairly fast (you can continue painting after 15m - 1h), you don't need to clean the brush in any special way. Light Brown and Dark Brown are very thick, paste-like. Good for armour, dark horses, stuff like that.
#PAINTING OVER QUICKSHADE SKIN#
Light Brown - a very subtle one, good for soft skin tone gradations.The Super Shader comes in three different forms:

I decided it was a good occasion to try and compare the effects of those shaders from two different brands. I had some 15mm Roman cavalryman waiting for a paint job.
