I had a read of a really interesting article on Bell of Lost Souls the other day, by Mr Jawaballs, reviewing The Army Painter's Quick-shade stuff. I'd seen this stuff before, when it first came out, and a friend of mine picked up the strongest of the 3 to get his dark elves done. Back then, the product seemed a bit poo, being 18 quid for a tin and leaving everything an ill shade of brown.

From reading Jawaballs' review (http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2010/08/hobby-jawaballs-product-review-army.html) I was quite impressed how he used it, and looked up a few vids on youtube. This inspired me to head out to Krackers and pick up a tin of the light stuff.

This little AOBR tester dude was sprayed black, airbrushed Shadow Grey, then base coloured with macharite red, shining gold, chaos black and graveyard earth, taking all of 10 minutes. Then I painted on the Soft Tone stuff with a shite brush, waited for 4 odd hours, then painted on some matt varnish.

I was dubious until I did the matt varnish, now I'm 100% sold! All the rest of the SWs are getting this treatment, minus the vechicles i reckon. Hopefully I can wack out a painted army very quickly.

On a similar note, I'm gunna test out a revised list. Don't know if this is overkill or not! 1.5k points:

Rune Priest, terminator armour, jaws, hurricane - 120
4 Wolf guard, 4 terminator suits, 4 shields, assault cannon, wolf claw, chain fist, drop pod - 277

Rune priest, lightening, jaws - 100
8 Grey hunters, melta, mark, banner, drop pod, guard, fist - 228

10 grey hunters, 2 plasma, drop pod - 195

10 grey huunters, 2 melta, mark, fist, banner, drop pod - 240

3 Vindicators - 345

Eat THAT!
