White Uniform: This Roman soldier was sprayed Colour Primer: Plate Mail Metal, then given a white uniform and dipped in Quick Shade: Soft Tone, adding fine subdued shading. We’ve painted up a few different colour schemes for the Roman Legions illustrating the possibilities of Quick Shade including combinations with different Colour Primers. Dark Tone is also superb for models needing a sharp contrast such as furry animals, machines and knights for instance. Dark Tone uses black pigment instead of brown and creates a very fine black shading on your models. In doubt: pick this tone!ĭark Tone: The ultimate shading for metal and armour. Strong Tone is the most common of all the tones as it will add a fantastic shading effect to an army and give it a stunning overall look. Strong Tone: This Quick Shade looks extremely good on models which need a deep shading and the rich brown pigment has a battle worn feel to it. Alternatively Soft Tone will give you an effective light shading effect, good for large surfaces and “clean” miniatures. Soft Tone: This Quick Shade is specifically designed for lighter colours and looks extremely effective on light colours (white, pink, yellow for instance) as a consequence. Quick Shade comes in 3 different variants Soft Tone, Strong Tone and Dark Tone. This will create a coherent looking force which will look really good. A good rule of thumb is to use the same Tone to all models in the army, if at all possible.
What Tone to use? A difficult question to answer, as taste is very individual.
Shading black is somewhat of a challenge – it’s hard to find a darker tone than black! An option is to add a thin grey highlight before the Quick Shade or simply to add an old fashion highlight after the Quick Shade is completely dry. However you can do so if you want to and if you got the time! Indeed it might be well worth going back and adding a few highlights to your army commanders. You don’t need to add highlighting afterward – we didn’t on our Roman Army.
