I was painting a DBA Early Egyptian army, so on one stick of archers, I painted all of the figures identically but applied different washes to each. I meant to get Army Painter’s Strong Tone Ink for a better direct comparison with the Quickshade. Army Painter Dark Tone Ink (not the Quickshade dip).Games Workshop’s Agrax Earthshade wash, which seems to be their replacement for Devlan Mud.When I was at Legions for Stoogecon, I picked up 3 possible replacements to try out: Unfortuantely, Devlan Mud is no longer available, since Games Workshop recently completely revamped their paint line.
It works well straight out of the bottle, and produces reasonable results in areas where I’m not that interested in painting in highlights and shadows, but when I also don’t want to dip the whole figure. Games Workshop’s Devlan Mud wash has been a commonly used weapon in my painting arsenal since I got back into painting miniatures 3 years ago. 3D Printers: Phrozen 3D, Elegoo, AnycubicįauxHammer – Latest Video on YouTube The Best Paints for Miniatures & Wargames Models.Europe: eBay (DE), eBay (FR), eBay (ES), eBay (IT), Amazon.US/Canada: MTechCave, GameKastle, eBay (US), eBay (CA), Amazon.UK: Element Games, The Outpost, Wayland Games, Mighty Lancer, Goblin Gaming, Forbidden Planet, Model Scenery Supplies, eBay, Amazon.Devlan Mud is Dead!

This review is sponsored by The Army Painter, who sent their Limited Edition Complete Paint Set (how limited this is I’m unsure) along with a couple of primer sprays and all 3 of the Quickshade Tins. This exhaustive set contains the entire Warpaints set of paint bottles which gave me all of the possible options available to try our their SPRAY, PAINT, DIP, DONE method.

I would have expected to see the Metallics, Quickshades and technical paint grouped with their respective partners. and then the acrylic warpaint in some kind of colour order. I would presume that these sets are put together by automated picking & packing machines as this current organisation would be a QA tester’s nightmare.
