So, from all the various posts/hints and recommendations on how to use the army painter, it boils down to this.
Paint the model with your normal colours, don't worry about dry brushing/shading
Paint the model with army dip (I don't dip, I paint as I can't shake the paint off like it suggests, I don't have a back yard)
Let the dip dry for 24 hours
Give the model a matt varnish
finished!
The matt varnish really improves the figure.
Figures with the base paint
Now with the matt varnish.
Might need to improve my photos.
Anyway, I will put up more photos soon.

The quick-shade looks quite effective for doing an army quickly, but the spirit base puts me off. It looks as though it does a similar job to my Klear/ink wash which is
a) water soluble
b) pleasantly smelly
c) a lot cheaper!
ps - you need to add the Followers widget to your sidebar :)
Indeed the followers widget would be nice.
As I told you some time ago, when you showed them to me, I like the result. But I prefer the more painful way of doing 3 layers ;)
Anyway. Hope to see your complete army soon.
Cheers

Nice work, I use Windsor and Newton Peat Brown Ink, its does the same kind of thing. Keep up the great work, I'll follow with interest. Tamsin's right you do need a follower widget!
Nice work!!
I'll post photos of the painted army shortly.
Managed to get them based and flocked two days before going to USK in Wales.
For those who have the skill/talent, paint three layers.
For me, I need all the help I can get.
