  1. You know, 9 lines of isntructions is in no way going to ever enable to paint to this standard!!!! Will help me improve what I'm doing now though I think. Those GW washes are certainly the biz!

  2. But that extra introductory line makes all the difference :-) I agree though, those washes are great!

  3. To answer the question about the skulls, it depends on the level of depth you want, but its the following on the Brood Lord:
    Base Coat of black
    Heavy Dry Brush with Codex Grey
    Light Dry Brush with 1:1 Codex/Fortress Grey
    Badab Black Wash
    Light Dry Brush with Fortress Grey, careful not to go into the crevices you just filled with Badab Black, and finally 2 dry brush coats a good hour apart of Skull White.
    If you do 2 coats a bit lighter and wait for the first to dry, you get rid of the chalky look.
    Cheers for the comments :)
