This lunchtime, at long last, the parcel from Warlord Games arrived. So, I have some useable 'dip' again, at last. Without further ado, I got on and slapped some on the unit of Aventine Miniatures Hastati, which had been sitting around waiting for it. And here they are, finished, finally. I'm really pleased with them.
One thing I have noticed, is that this new can of 'dip' is a different colour. It's still labelled as 'Strong Tone', but, rather than the strong brown colour previous cans had, this is quite a bit greyer. I think I prefer it - for one thing, being more neutral in tone, it'll be more suitable for covering different colours - for instance blues should look better. I might have been a tad upset though, if I'd been half-way through a project, because the figures do look different.
