I am one of those people who doesn't have an army ready (painted or not) for gaming. So I am liking the "glue them onto bases" first, and paint them later. I would love to hear more about your "cutting" corners method. What methods work and what methods didn't work. Good luck Blue.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12522223665090272625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7366826811750659881.post-23362913209980489542013-01-23T10:54:02.758-05:002013-01-23T10:54:02.758-05:00thanks for that info...food for thought.thanks for that info...food for thought.Blue in VThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16420605978612894112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7366826811750659881.post-38897485006323861562013-01-23T09:34:16.793-05:002013-01-23T09:34:16.793-05:00Yep, strong tone army painter, I brush it on rathe...Yep, strong tone army painter, I brush it on rather than dip.

Because my standards are fairly low I've actually noticed no drop in quality (honestly)! At this rate my 'miniature a week for 2013' should be a sinch!Garethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09486311422850536804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7366826811750659881.post-11247196790280357702013-01-23T05:15:41.550-05:002013-01-23T05:15:41.550-05:00A brave move.

I came to this decision about a year ago, like yourself, coming to the conclusion that if I ever wanted to finish a damn army I was going to have to buckle down, be a little less of a perfectionist and get things painted. I looked up techniques that sped things up without dropping the quality too much, including dipping, (now, hear me out) which when used in conjunction with overpainting and some pre-dip techniques for adding detail, is a quick way to get SOME colours done fast. Very much depends on the army.Mr Saturdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03092917415087033316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7366826811750659881.post-31124271550059823122013-01-23T03:52:47.014-05:002013-01-23T03:52:47.014-05:00Hmm... your new method of painting seems a little ...Hmm... your new method of painting seems a little bit boring.
