I'm using the small bottle as seen in the pic. Werner Fernando Oroxon Ramirez: Very true. Eventually supplies of the old stuff will dwindle away and it's nice to know this is out there so folks can match what they had before.
Gonewild: And that was the big reason for passing this along. I have a color or two (literally) of theirs, and that's it. Magilla Gurilla: I haven't used any of the Vallejo washes myself. I think the biggest thing for folks is the change in colors.Īs far as the new shades and the Army Painter line, I did not match them up since this test was to see if the AP stuff could replicate the old GW washes. Now I'm not talking about any of the Glazes here, just the shades. The biggest issue is the color shift from the old GW washes to the new GW shades. And as far as the new GW shades, I like they way they flow, it's just that the colors are slightly different from the old washes they are replacing.ĭavedowns: The old washes and the new shades are similar I've found in their flow characteristics. Marshal Wilhelm: I know AP has other colors, but I'm not sure what they match up against. Credit goes to Mordian7th for passing this along to me.

So if you're still missing the old GW Devlan Mud or Badab Black and you wish you still had some, do yourself a favor an pick up these inks. Of course part of that is application, but I was impressed by how smooth they went on. They had a nice flow into the recessed areas and no pooling in any unwanted areas leaving tide marks. They went over the base nice and smooth without any trouble at all. I'd even go so far as to say the Army Painter inks have better flow characteristics than the old washes had. At first I thought the Devlan Mud replacement (Army Painter Strong Tone Ink) was going to be a bit off, but once it dried, it was absolutely spot on. These are almost exact matches (so close you can't tell) for the previous GW washes. Both of the old GW washes and then the Army Painter Inks next to their counterparts. I divided the base into four sections and applied each one to a section. A quick coat of white for the most contrast and it was off to the races. I figured it was big enough and had plenty of texture I could use to compare the washes with. It took me a minute to find something I could use and settled on a skull base from Secret Weapon minis. He's already given them a quick review on his blog, but I wanted to see for myself. Since Joel sounded pretty confident and sent me the inks for free, I knew I had to test them out and come up with a honest observation. He told me my search for a match to the old washes was done. Joel from over at Mordian7th sent me two bottles of Army Painter Ink (Strong Tone and Dark Tone) and told me these would do it.
And buying as much of the old stuff as you can doesn't count as one day those supplies will be gone. The question then becomes, if the new colors aren't the same, what can you do to match the previous colors. For most of us, it's no big deal, but for those painters who rely on accurate color matching, the change can be problematic to say the least. With GW releasing their new paint line recently, they've replaced the old colors with new "shades" and in doing so, the colors are not the exact same. So what do you do now that they are gone?
Their uses were endless and I'd venture to say that those two washes have helpd more painters improve their work more than any other two colors out there. The previous Devlan Mud and Badab Black washes were staples in almost every single painter's tray.
