I just completed the dwarf fighter miniature for one of my friend. I used the same technique that I used for my orcs: a “quick” plain color painting, without shading, followed by a dipping in Minwax Polyshade. Then Testor Dull coat to kill the shine of the wood varnish, followed by a little detail work (mainly hitting some edges and metal surfaces with a lighter tone to restore the highlights.

While at it, I dipped a prepainted Pathinder Troll miniature. I must say I’m quite impressed with the results: No post dipping work has been done on it yet and still it looks a lot better then it did straight from the box…

Cool!
