Thanks Guys!
Most of the army was speed painted, apart from the velites and some hastati.
I tried three speed painting methods;
First, the future floor finish "magic wash". It turned out too thin, and did practically nothing, except some light black-lining.
then, I tried a simple brown wash with no additional medium, this one turned out too uneven…
lastly I got hold of the army painter dip, which is a pain to work with because it is not water soluble, but I must admit that the results are very good. the coverage is perfect, and it dried rock hard. Of all the methods I used, miniatures painted with the dip seems to be the only one to be chipping resistant…
It has the additional effect of giving a brown hue to everything. I usually hate this effect, but on ancient miniatures, I don't know… it seems to fit!!!
My second army, the gauls, are now published:
