Great breakdown of different tones by both gives a honest and great comparison and how they can affect the miniatures much appreciated and great watch 😊
Strong tone's old formula used to be very viscous and had the pigment levels of a tint more than a wash. Strange change, Ill have to make some changed to my painting recipes. Great video.
Yeah, there's definitely a difference between old and new AP Washes. I did a video on them recently to show the changes. Overall a change for the best!
I liked the Targor Rageshade surprisingly. Don’t see people using it much at all but it’s got a nice colour. Wouldn’t use it in this scenario but certainly one I’ll look to pick up at some point
It's definitely got potential over browns, reds, skin and gold I would say. I reckon barbarians or beastmen would be suitable for an all over application of Targor Rageshade.
This is a great video, when I have time I need to give it a proper watch. I’ve been experimenting with citadels new vs old formula verse Duncan Rhodes washes. I have a bottle of strong tone I’ve never really tried and didn’t realize they also changed their formula ? Lots to sift through, and it’s hard to pick a ‘best’ because they can be applied for different reasons to get different desired results. But some are better than others for each task! Thanks
Glad you like the video. There are loads of applications for the shades or washes, and while there probably is a "best" product for each job it's a lot of work to find it. I think that the filter effect that the GW shades gives could be very appropriate for dirtier finishes for example. I haven't handled any of the Two Thin Coats range yet so may need to look out for them myself.
@@CullodenPaintingStudio the Duncan washes are very nice imo, they’re most comparable to the original citadel washes in that they tint extremely well so give great bits of shadows to work with. Battle Mud Wash for example is the agrax earth shade equivalent and I prefer it to old citadel currently. It looks a bit murky on the palette, but I think is because it has a drop of matte medium in it because it dries so matte.
@@CullodenPaintingStudio I am keen to compare them to the army painter versions now haha. They were so much stronger than the new citadel washes that it made my new formula citadel washes seem like they had no pigmentation… they do flow nicely into recesses but when you need to stain or tint something the new citadels aren’t great at all for me, though I hear applying two coats gets a similar effect. I have the “old” dark tone I believe …so I guess I need to grab a bottle of the new one now.
Maybe Vallejo one day. AK Interactive are not going to appear though. Using imagery from the Holocaust in an advertising campaign for a book was unconscionable.
Isn't the tiny bottle of "Wash Medium" really just a flow improver? I buy large bottles of artist flow improver for allot less than those tiny bottles.
