Quickshade was an instant success, and the company would then go on to produce other groundbreaking and top-quality products and ranges. The Army Painter is on their path to becoming an industry innovator and leader.

I find that I have better control if I brush it on and then spend ...
This is what I have been missing in my miniature painting arsenal. I see that many people suggest dipping and shaking, and while I have dipped once or twice, I find that I have better control if I brush it on and then spend two minutes or so (I coat several at once) going between the figures to brush away excess quickshade that tends to pool as it drips downward towards the base.A few side notes:1. This is excellent for dead and undead and object figurines like chests and tombstones. On a main hero figurine it will just look dirty and sloppy if you're accustomed to painting thin layers for depth because it tends to look more like accumulated grime and dirt--which is cool for clothes, but not so much for skin unless you're already dead.2. This item must be finished after 24 hours with a matte acrylic spray or you won't like the results nearly so well.3. Patience! The learning curve is not a big one, but it's still there.4. Don't worry about detail for bulk figurines. That is, if you're painting a bunch of mobs for a game, just get a nice even coat on and let Quickshade do the rest. You'll save a lot of time and still be happy with the results.I've included two pictures of the process below. From left to right: primered, painted, shaded, and finally matte acrylic finish.

5.0 out of 5 stars but I recommend the middle version (Strong Tone) if you don't have ...
Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2017
Color: Strong ToneVerified Purchase
If you are painting miniatures, then washes (or shades, as they are known in this case) are a huge help. They seep into the recesses of the model, providing immediate depth and contrast. The Army Painter Quick Shade comes in three colors, but I recommend the middle version (Strong Tone) if you don't have a specific reason to pick one of the others. Unlike other wash/shade products, this Quick Shade also contains a glossy varnish, which will need to be reduced with a matte varnish (Army Painter also makes this product, along with Testors, Citadel, and others). I appreciate this varnish, as it protects the model.

This is best used on large batches of miniatures (20+) that you don't wish to highlight after washing. You can of course highlight after washing, but this shade takes a long time to dry. If your plan for painting miniatures involves priming, applying simple basecoats to every part of the model, washing, and calling it a day, this is the product for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bulk painting tool
Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2018
Color: Strong ToneVerified Purchase
First off, you're not going to get the same quality as the traditional base coat, wash/shade, and highlight. Is this bad? No, but if you're expecting that quality you'll need to check your expectations.

I've been painting a Star Wars Imperial Assault collection using a mix of quickshade for bulk groups and the long way for unique models. These look pretty good, but if you're a serious mini painter you'll spot the differences.

This stuff is pretty thick so I cut it with mineral spirits, 3:1 mix. I paint it on like you would a wash, instead of dipping. It darkens the tone slightly, but I've used it with brighter colors and wasn't disappointed in the results.

After applying quickshade you can still apply touch-ups and highlights after it's dried. The model comes out very glossy so you'll want to apply a matte varnish when you're all done (unless glossy is what you're going for). Drying time is pretty long, 24 hours, so if you're planning to do work on the model after applying quickshade it'll be a task for another day.

I like the product, while I can do better with time, it's great when I don't want to dedicate as much time to a bunch of identical models. I plan on buying another can when I finish this one!

5.0 out of 5 stars Gives an effective shade to spruce up minis quickly
Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2017
Color: Strong ToneVerified Purchase
Bought this to save time painting. Definitely saved time painting, so 5 stars there. Took my characters from bright, fake colors to grim, shaded colors in a very effective manner. I would still take the time to make the figure look relatively good underneath, but let quick shade do the shadows for you.

I call out that I went with bright colors because at first I painted normally and added the quick shade. The end result looked like a post-apocalypse, grimy dirty character. This "travel-worn" effect can be avoided if you go with bright colors underneath. This particular shade adds a noticeable sepia effect overall, which can look great, but if the mini underneath already has the browns and tones it usually needs then the overcoat looks like dirt.

-I would not recommend dipping. Just brush this on. Gives a lot more control.
-They say shake well, they MEAN shake well. If you are going to be dipping in it for more than 5-10 minutes, plan on taking a moment to recap this and shake again. Otherwise you are just painting with oil.
-Use a brush you don't plan to use for much else or have cleaner immediately handy. Leaves a sticky, oily residue. Won't wash out with just water.
-The end result will be glossy. Get a matte finish to remove the shine.
-If you want excellent results, paint on top of the dried quickshade to create highlights. I do not care about this (I'm painting 100 zombies) so I do the highlights underneath or not much at all. Works fine for me.
-I do not know if you can water this down but I would suggest just starting small and building up. Do a test mini or two and see how the results look.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great tool to have in the arsenal
Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2022
Color: Strong ToneVerified Purchase
I’m slightly new to painting miniatures and I’ve been exploring with different materials and mediums. I decided to give the dip method a try. I noticed that it can give a bit of a grimdark feel to my minis and it creates an strong protective coat over my finished mini’s. I would tell someone who is new to the hobby, to research and watch a few tutorials from different content creators first. There are a few different methods that can be used to apply this varnish. The varnish achieves a few different things which attracted me to the product. I’ll list out the pros and cons:

Pros:

It gives an excellent form of recess shading.
It’s highly effective for batch painting.
It makes a thick and very durable varnish - superior for anyone that is using figures for table top gaming purposes.

Cons:
There’s a learning curb to the application if you want to achieve a good look on your mini’s
It can get very messy in all methods of application.
Cleaning brushes or hands after usage requires white spirits or a thinner.

Cheers!

I have yet to crack this can open since I started using Warpaints Zombie Shader. Zombie Shader works great and it is acrylic which I like so I don’t have to deal with cleanup and toxic fumes. I am providing this review so that newbies like me who read this try the cheaper acrylic alternative before jumping into quickshade. You may end up liking the alternative like I did.

1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY

Honestly, I don't think I have been more disappointed in anything I have bought off Amazon. I followed all of the instructions on the can. First the wash smells horrible, it's incredibly thick even when you mix it a tonne. If you dip a mini in it, it will make the whole thing solid brown and it will stay that way even after shaking. I hadto take a brush to try to remove the wash from the mini. Not only did it stain and ruin the brush, it also entirely stained my hands. I have used 5 different soaps now and nothing takes off the sticky brown film. Just buy the small washes this will cause nothing but headaches and potentially ruin the paint job you just spent hours doing. 0/10 dont buy it.

Deja un pésimo acabado. Demasiado espeso y tarda demasiado en quitar. Es difícil en extremo remover el exceso. Sumergir tus miniaturas en Miel de Maple daría el mismo resultado
