There is a lot of activity on epic front here. Together with my brother Mormeg we made some necessary orders of missing miniatures and vehicles, there is a lot of painting going on too. My brother managed to finish some infantry stands (some of his newly finished World Eaters are visible on the photo), and I - despite my holiday break - started to paint a lot of stuff at the same time. There are three whrilwinds, eight land raiders, dozen rhinos and eighteen stands of the infantry basecoated and washed right now. And speaking about washes. My first painted rhino was done in my traditional way - with basecoat, acrylic wash, then painting again all flat areas with basecoat color again (to lighten a model a little bit after washing and make color transitions more gradient-like), then highlights and details. After coming back from my vacation, I painted another rhino, using oil washes this time. Differences are clearly visible. First, oil wash has tendency to run only in hollows, leaving all flat areas in original color. Second - if some of the oil wash is left where it shouldn't be, it is very easy to wipe it off with a brush. After the oil was was dry, I painted all details (guns, lights, etc) and then edge highlights. Everything took just ten, maybe fifteen minutes - much faster then with acrylic washes.
