Cloaked Romulan SHips

[Asguard101]

The photos of the cloaked Romulan miniatures, what painting or prep work were done on them?

None - that is how they come out of the box!

I'm guessing they will be the easiest to bring into play. Only the bases will need prep, name/number, firing/turn points etc.

Yeah, but a thin/light ink wash could seep into the crevices and help bring out the detail (such as those lovely birds of prey under the Eagle Series)

Definitely....

Unless you are a ham-handed painter like me :mrgreen:

Anyone can do a basic wash, it just seeps in. Though it is possible to use too much, easy to fix with a dry brush sucking up excess.

Being a non-painter, what is a ink wash?

Several companies also make dedicated Inks or "washes" in various colors. My friends jokingly refer to GW's Devlan Mud wash (a blackish brown) and/or Badab Black as "the wonder wash" for lazily shading miniatures for several games.

As an example, here is a mini given a basic coat of flat colors, no shading or anything.

And the same mini after a wash of black. From the look of it, he went light on the skin areas but heavy on the clothes and metal.
