Thank you so much for this video. I searched quite a bit of what the minis looked like before and after quickshade. I was really dissapointed in my minis with using the quickshade. I was glad to see the varnish you used in the video. I am excited to use it on my minis
Awesome tutorial. I love that you used painted minis to show how it works. Soooo many tutorials use primed minis and you really can't tell what it will do. Kudos.
When I first used quick shade I dipped it and wasn't convinced it would look like it showed in the booklet but it did after I removed the excess. Your painting method is a much better way to quick shade and I now use it.
Thank you for the great review👍 This review gave me the useful information. Also made me to get a couple of Army Painter quick shade strong tone. Now I’m enjoying painting my minis conveniently😄
This video was posted a long time ago, but is still applicable to m. Very good video! My question is, is the Quickshade same as an oil wash, without the clean-up of reming the oils in places you need? Seems the same to me, but still really nice finish!
Thank you very much for the video clip. I have followed your guide and have some very nice looking models finished in less than a third of the normal time it takes. Bob
Amazing vídeo! Thanks for it! Have one question tho! How did u do tô clean the brush? I'm from Brazil and i had some dificult to understand what you said and how did you used. Thanks again
EDIT: rewatched and figured it out =P This is a nice technique! Original post: Did you have to prime / undercoat the miniature before the using the shade? You may have said so, I might have missed it
Thumbs up and a subscribe. I like the effort you put into this video. Very easy to follow and the additional video of the figures at base colors then 24 hours later, then 48 hours final with matt varnish.
James Halleluyah thank you so much, awsome! Good to hear you like it :). I try to do my best to make it easy to follow and helpfull. I remember the first time I used Quickshade. I was hoping for it to make my zombies look great... Went to check after 24 hours and didnt know what to think. Same after 48 hours. But after the varnish it looked great.
The Quickshade has done great work on my zombies and other miniatures. I can recommend it. It can do great work, especially if you know what the effects are. This saved me so much time on the hordes of zombies. And everyone likes how they look. This is a great way to get some very good results very quick. I hope you have such great results with it as I had :).
Hey there! Well i applied as you did follow all the steps(paint is full dry with a wait of 48 hours, well shaked army painter wash , no super pools over my mini but!!! I dont know why the was cracks :(… can you help me please??
For unpainted minis, do you need to use a primer before quick shade? Does the quick shade stay on without a primer? Do you need to wash the mini with soap/water before shading?
Kevin Young you dont need to prime the minis. The minis I did not paint (the rats and other brown minis) I also did not prime. It works fine on plastic. I am not sure for metalic minis since I dont have those. Also you dont have to wash them. I like to make sure there is no dirt spots on them or anything.
Thank you so much. The Quickshade can help to make miniatures look great with little afford :). I try to make the video's easy to follow and hopefully to be helpfull.
No! This works with the Army Painter Quickshade Dark Tone Inks (the 18ml bottles) but not with this stuff! It is not water soluble and you even need acetone or a similar solution to clean your brush.
@@TheSilentW I never really liked this stuff though. Donno if the recipe has changed but it always kind of felt like I was dipping my model in deck stain, not a wash. Made my whole model look like a hunk of chocolate
@@xxbrkdwnxx I actually like the quickshade and use it for my Zombicide miniatures. But you have to be very carefull not to let it accumulate in recesses.
Justin Stewart I did not prime them before I used the Quickshade. I liked the color of the minis so I gave them a quick wash with water and saop. When they were dry I applied the Quickshade on them.
Is it just me or does the quick shade stay sticky FOREVER! Even after removing most of it it stays forever tacky. I’ll wait 3-4 days and it will stay sticky. I then while it’s sticky do my lighter touch ups for high lights on outer edges. I then wait for anther day then spray varnish all over it so it drips off bottom. If I do it too early pain runs.
Are there no side effects using quickshade and matte finish directly on the plastic miniatures, without priming? Is the strong tone suggested for all kind of miniature colors or is it not suitable for cold tones, as light blue for example?
F. D. Lamb you can use Quickshade from The Army Painter straight on plastic miniatures (without priming first). The light brown minis from Mice and Mistyc I also did not prime. I do recommend to wash and rins your minis first. Quickshade sticks to almost anything but other washes might couse problems. You can use the color strong tone for any color you like. The only thing is it will darken all colors so also light blues. And if you want to add a bit of highlight to that you can do a thin layer of (white) zenithal spray hightlight. I hope this helps you :).
They look great..... but where is the blood! 🩸🩸🩸There needs to huge amounts of blood! 🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸 We’re talking buckets of blood! 😜😜😜😜😜 (just having fun!). Great tutorial, this stuff is amazing!
Its nice but in the end its just an enamel wash. Its an Unneeded expensive product. Most people that paint already have some sort of wash. Im not knocking the product but its cheaper to just make your own wash from whatever color you want
Bedankt ;). I do think you need terpetine from the gamme (or something similar). I always use it and this way I can keep using the same brush to quickshade. If I don't use that my brush is ruined. It even says on the bottom of the can: "use mineral turpentine to clean your brushes".
Maybe you have a different Quickshade. I am not sure. But as long it works well for you :). It can really give some nice effect with little afford. I do like to see other Dutch people that paint miniatures. That is super cool :).
I really like that. Do you know if the quickshade strong tone washes in this set ( www.philibertnet.com/en/peintures/46529-army-painter-warpaints-starter-paint-set-2580201115515.html ) have the same effect than the strong tone you used in your video ?
I am not familiar with that method. I am not sure if you can have any control of how much shade would go on which spots. With the Quickshade I have some control of I want some areas to be lighter with the shade or darker. Also this is a great product that actually does some wonders for your miniatures. The recesses will be of a darker shade and the Quickshade will be lighter on the raised parts. I have never seen a miniature with matte varnish and a mix of ink. So I don't know how well it would react to the recesses and raised parts of the miniature. Or even how it would look. Do you use the varnish to paint it on the miniatures? I use the spray paint.
I cannot get this crap to work for me at all what-so-ever. I got the 250ml can to dip and the first mini I dipped was ruined. Too thick. I added thinner to it and still, ruined mini after ruined mini. I then added more thinner and brushed it on...... ruined. This stuff does NOT work as advertised. Adding thinner only made this crap work worse. It doesnt flick off after the dip and it doesnt settle into crack over a 30 second period (it dries up too fast) then it wont soak up in to the dry brush from the pooled areas. This stuff sucks!!!!!! Never again.

Colours look a lot more vibrant at the end.
Thankyou! I really enjoyed your presentation. it has given me some confidence to try the Quick shade on my Napoleonics x
Simply one of the best videos on shading. Thank you
Thank you so much. Great the hear you liked it :).
Great video thank you for the tips! I think I will finally take the plunge and start quickshade
So if I understand, the quickshades are for accenting the shadows, & crevasses?
Thank you for the great review👍
This review gave me the useful information.
Also made me to get a couple of Army Painter quick shade strong tone.
Now I’m enjoying painting my minis conveniently😄
Thanks for this, it explains it very well. I now feel more confident about using Quick Shade. 👍
They came out nice! Great job! These are such expressive miniatures!
Great video! I use it a lot, but the smell is harsh. Any tips beside fan & ventilation?
This video was posted a long time ago, but is still applicable to m. Very good video! My question is, is the Quickshade same as an oil wash, without the clean-up of reming the oils in places you need? Seems the same to me, but still really nice finish!
Any advice on how I stop my wash from looking so streaky? Great video!!

That is great to hear! Yea, Quickshade can do some magic to make your minis look good :).
Great video. Thanks so much. I just got into painting and hopefully this makes them look better! Thanks again
Amazing tutorial, thanks
What advantage / affect does the quick shade have on unprimed figures? Did you use quickshade again after priming and painting them?
Amazing vídeo! Thanks for it! Have one question tho! How did u do tô clean the brush? I'm from Brazil and i had some dificult to understand what you said and how did you used. Thanks again
Eberton ela fala sobre o White spirit, no brasil eu acho que é a "aguarrás"
Thanks! What is the adhesive that you are using to keep the minis temporarily attached to the wooden blocks?
Poster putty or poster tack.
EDIT: rewatched and figured it out =P
This is a nice technique!

Mine are sticky after using the quick shade. Is there a workaround to this? A wash feels easier to use tbh. I'm probably just doing it wrong though.

Very nice and quite clear ~ thanks!
Army painter suggests dipping the mini and then remove the shade where there is too much
For unpainted minis, do you need to use a primer before quick shade? Does the quick shade stay on without a primer? Do you need to wash the mini with soap/water before shading?

Great, thanks for the video
Is there a difference between using a quick shade and a wash from games workshop (other than the price)?
Quickshade by army painter has polyurethane. It's like a wood finish product. Shades (citadel) and inks (army painter) are water based.
@@mogwaiman6048 Yeah! And I think its that polyurethane that lets you apply to an unprimed model. very cool!
Gloves are good!
best tutorial
They look great, Quick and easy. Keep up the good work on the video's.
Thank you so much. The Quickshade can help to make miniatures look great with little afford :). I try to make the video's easy to follow and hopefully to be helpfull.
Great video. Thanks for posting.
Thank you for watching :). Have a great day.
Just found your channel and I subbed. Thanks for sharing and I really enjoyed your format :D
Thank you so much. Happy yo hear you like it :).
You also have to go pretty quick! It “sets” very quick, so if you need to remove some don’t wait!
pro tip: you can pre-dilute your shade on a pallet with some water so you don't have to go over the miniature a second time with water.
No! This works with the Army Painter Quickshade Dark Tone Inks (the 18ml bottles) but not with this stuff! It is not water soluble and you even need acetone or a similar solution to clean your brush.
@@TheSilentW by that logic thinning it on the model wont work either.
@@TheSilentW I never really liked this stuff though. Donno if the recipe has changed but it always kind of felt like I was dipping my model in deck stain, not a wash. Made my whole model look like a hunk of chocolate

@@MissFlamepaints That's so cool! I never knew you could do that ^^
Nice tutorial, have subscribed, cheers
war gaming with Garry thank you :). Great to see you like my content. I see you paint some awsome miniatures!
Nice video just subbed keep up the good work
Really great work
basic miniature painting thank you :)
Antes de aplicar el tinte, ya podías haber pintado las minis de mice and mystics en cinco minutitos.

This stuff is magic! But I find it stays always tacky sticky
Nice, but quickshade is waterbased? So no terpetine van de gamma nodig toch?Leuke video.

Oh,oke, i got the waterbased quickshade, littel bottel from "armypainter"
I use it on a snow-camoflace tank, it makes the white camo little dirty and the bolts look very nice now.
Ja ,bad english, sry for that.

little late, but the answer is yes it comes with the strong tone shade.
4:40 Is this sped up footage or is she a cyborg?
What are these models?
Looks like Zombicide and Mice & Mystics
It's just varnish mixed with ink. Why wouldn't buy matte varnish and mix ink in it? You would eliminate a whole step.
I am not familiar with that method. I am not sure if you can have any control of how much shade would go on which spots. With the Quickshade I have some control of I want some areas to be lighter with the shade or darker. Also this is a great product that actually does some wonders for your miniatures.

This shader ruins models , it makes them all brown and muddy. Please adviod
