[QUOTE="DeathbyDoughnut, post: 7568021, member: 90519"] This is all my opinion. Army Painter, and Vallejo. Army Painter has the best washes hands down in the miniature painting business. The Army Shades are fantastic and I won't use any other wash. Vallejo and to a lesser extent Army Painter have the best pigment to medium ratio for most colors. Army Painter's resin base takes some time to get used to painting with because it works differently from Vallejo, but overall those are the two brands I use. I don't like citadel paints, especially the washes. I live in the PNW so it may be my climate, but throughout the years I keep trying the GW paints especially washes, but I always always get frosting. Doesn't matter if it's Nuln Oil, Agrax Earthshade, Drakenhof Nightshade, or what have you. Glaze brushed on, dipped, different brushes, different models, new pots, old pots, no water/medium mixed in, with water mixed in, with medium mixed in, retarder mixed in, I've even moved to different houses. I've tried it every which way and I always get a white haze where the wash settles. And I thought, maybe if I matte seal it then the white haze will go away. Nope. Clear coat just seals it there. Citadel Paints are the only paints I have this problem with. [/QUOTE]
