[QUOTE="Kris, post: 3193087, member: 3745"] OK... here's the pictures of the same miniatures after they have been dipped in the woodstain (and their bases tidied up a little). First here's the orc. For this test I just left the varnish on the swords however it dried to see how it turned out - as if it dried all patchy I figured it wouldn't matter too much as it could pass as a dirty/rusty orc blade. I was also curious to see how a paler skin colour (i.e. on the decapitated head) would turn out: [IMG]http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l159/csp_kris/minia2.jpg[/IMG] Next is the chaos warrior (which I may use as a heavily armoured orc). Even though I'm not fond of the figure, I think this one has gained the most from the dipping process: [IMG]http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l159/csp_kris/minib2.jpg[/IMG] Last is the beastman - who should pass nicely as some kind of half-fiend. With this one I tried to brush most of the stain off of the blades to make them look a little cleaner/brighter (and see what difference it made compared to the above orc): [IMG]http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l159/csp_kris/minic2.jpg[/IMG] So I think my verdict on the whole 'dipping' process is pretty much in agreeance with what el-remmen said. It's great for getting a bunch of figures done quickly... and because I've not spent all that long painting them, I'm also not gonna be too worried about them getting bashed around a little during use. Though in all honesty they do not look great under close inspection - but on the other hand, I can't remember the last time I painted several mini's in one afternoon (especially considering that half of that time was doing something else while waiting for the woodstain to dry). But once you have several together... they don't look so bad: [IMG]http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l159/csp_kris/group1.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
