i have used Strong Tone Dip on some Orcs  ::)


Those look great Doc!  Did you highlight after the dip?  Strong Tone eh?  I Would have thought Dark would be the preference for Green skin...but yours sure look great...

Cheers,

fine looking models docter.

I, too, have used dip, in my case medium tone, on my orcs.
I do not highlight after it as I'm going for fast on the orcs.
I'm happy with the result, don't have pics unfortunately.

thanks Guys!  :)

Chris:i found the Dark Tone much too blackish,while the light Tone turns out a bit yellowish sometimes  :? though the light Tone is my first Choice when it comes to (Human) Flesh Painting,or anything including Bones  ;)
 i paint Highlights after the Dip,foremostly i just mix a light Grey/Bone/White Color to my Base Color and paint 2-3 Highlighting Layers,i'm not much faster with this Technique but i can do more Model at the same Time with much less Hassle  :D
Most important Thing is how much Dip you apply,in my experience you're getting the best Result when you barely see an effect while the Model is still wet.just dip your Brush once-thats enough Dip to cover a complete 28mm Mini  ;)
i wouldn't use Quickshade for Models with smooth Surfaces like Intergalactic Armymen or Warjacks
oh and dont ever use Anti Shine or any other AP Spraycan,unless you need a frosty/grainy Effect for your Plague Marines...
Seriously:Hands off AP Spraycans!!!

behold Strong Tone  lol

Some great examples of it here. I have tried it but without the lovely results seen so far. I treat is as another tool really, but one that I haven't quite got the hang of personally.
