Westwind figure painted using the new GW washes...





He actually looks better in real life... Weird as with most of my stuff it looks better in the pics!


I am blaming my new project firmly on the denizens of this forum... More to come...

Lots more...

Very impressive work V. The highlighting and shading are wonderfully subtle.
I bought a set of these washes but haven't got around to trying them yet. Did you use a white or black undercoat? A 'how I did it' would be gratefully appreciated.

I don't think I've ever, ever had that particular problem.

Black undercoat.

I will happily do a step by step guide for the forum if people think it will be of use.

[Malamute]

Yes please.  A breakdown of the steps would be great. I am keen to see how these washes work. Noce looking figure too

[theoldschool]

I'll second that, a very definite yes please

[Invicta]

Another vote for a tutorial!

I'm also very interested in these new washes and how they shape up.

[Dewbakuk]

Another walkthrough vote here!

[Dewbakuk]

So, a walkthrough? 

I'm interested in how you used the new GW washes.

[imurdentist]

Actually, I'd really love to know how you painted him!
So, please...

Btw, lovely Mini!

I tried my hand at the GW washes and was quite pleased with the results. It's no based yet, but should give you an idea of how I got on with them.

Very nice Pat, Can you be specific as to which washes you used?

[Dewbakuk]

And did you highlight before or after the wash etc?

[theoldschool]

No problem. The shirt is P3 Menolith white with a GW sepia wash and then highlighted back up with menolith and white. The trousers and kepi are P3 Hammerfell (?) khaki with a GW mud wash and a single highlight of the khaki + white. The flesh is just Foundry standard flesh a, b and c.
Eevn highlighting back up I find it much faster than the normal 3 or 4 colour layering technique and I find the finished effect much more subtle. I still have to do a bit of work on getting the washes the way I want them, but I have gone from thinking of them as might use them sometimes to a must have.
