this what I presently use as well....I'm not sure how much protection it provides though...

Fair point. I use army painter quickshade first, which acts as a cost of gloss varnish.

I read Orctrader's article and tried the Daler Rowney Soluble Matt Varnish (over a Humbrol Gloss varnish) about 6 months ago. I was sold on it after the first use and haven't used any other varnish since.

+1 for Daler Rowney Soluble Matt Varnish

That's interesting as I'm planning on ditching quickshade for Vallejo ink as a wash (getting fed up with ruined brushes and the smell of white spirit) but was worried that Vallejo matt varnish wouldn't provide much protection.
