Wars of the Roses Archers - Quickshade Part 2
In part one of this series, I detailed how I brought these Perry Wars of the Roses plastic archers to their pre-Quickshade state. They looked pretty uninspired at that point, and I always stop and think: "Are these really going to turn out okay?"
Then the Army Painter Quickshade Strong Tone is brushed on, making sure that it doesn't pool.
Then they look good. Really good!
You can see from the pictures that all of the detail has been picked out. The flesh is shaded. The belting is shadowed. The studded items have every metal bit emphasized... and it only took about 20 seconds per model to brush it on.
I have not done the metal bits yet; I have another technique that I use for those pieces. For now they are left black or silver. But that's the beauty of brushing on the Quickshade: you put it where you want it.
Most people stop here, but I feel that David Imrie from Saxon Dog gets full credit for showing what can be done AFTER this point in the process. Next up is the step that takes these very good miniatures to great: highlighting!
