P3 armour wash is black with a touch of blue & brown and I use it for this purpose, but could easily mix my own using regular black/blue/brown washes. For example, black is great for metallics, but mix a touch of blue into the black wash and it gives it a slighlty different tone that really suits something like, say, a medieval knight's armour. are more specialised, and can either be used to darken the recesses of lighter shades of the same colour without giving the 'muddy' brown look to the model, or can be added to other washes to tint the colour. Painting armies of miniatures to fantastic results has never been easier especially if you combine this high quality product with the revolutionary Colour Primers. With a neatish basecoat, this would give you something at table top standard even without a single highlight. The famous and ground-breaking Quickshade is a pigmented varnish which will shade your miniatures perfectly and still let the colours come through. Then go back and wash the metallics with black. Typically, metals would be black/dark tone, brown/strong tone for clothing & skin, and reddish brown/soft tone to give a warmer brown (and also my favourite way to paint gold - light silver with a heavy wash of soft tone).ĭevlan mud/brown/strong tone is a lot of people's go-to wash, especially unarmoured models - lay down the base coat, wash heavily all non-metallics in brown, and then add highlights if you desire. There's no easy answer as to what you should use. Dark Tone, Soft Tone, and Strong Tone from Army Painter are a match to the old Citadel washes that lots of folks love - Devlan Mud (brown - Strong Tone in AP), Gryphonne Sepia (reddish brown - Soft Tone in AP), and Badab Black (black - Dark Tone in AP).
