[QUOTE="Geeknamese, post: 7368132, member: 6785999"] This is actually really, really simple. Telling you, it’s DM life-changing your simple. The reason I use Gesso is because it’s fool-proof. You don’t have to thin with water or carefully apply in measure coats or anything like that. 1. Just get Liquitex Grey Gesso from Michael’s and Citadel Nuln Oil wash from your FLGS. 2. Dip your brush into the gesso and just start covering your mini until it’s not white anymore. Don’t worry if it starts to look gobby or you can see the details anymore. As the moisture starts to evaporate, the gesso acts like shrink wrap and just wraps around the minis details. Fool proof. 3. Let it dry. I’m impatient and I do a whole bunch at a time so I just blow dry them. 4. Shake up your bottle of Citadel Nuln Oil well and dip your brush in, take off the excess with the neat little thing that’s built into the cap and then brush on your mini. Nuln Oil has a consistency that flows into the recessed areas of the mini so it shaded the details and flows to lower areas. You can also use your brush to move the pigment towards areas you think should be darker or shaded. Nothin fancy about the technique. Just push it where you kinda want it and move on. When it dries, it’ll look cool. Caveat, with these two steps, the minis will look cool and be prepped for when you want to fully paint them. The coating will hold for a while but will eventually rub off with a lot of handling or if your rough with your miniatures since there’s no varnish coat to seal it. You could brush on a matte varnish if you want to keep the minis like this or if they start to wear, you can easily get a toothbrush or bristle brush and wash/brush off the mini back to white.
