We all want better-looking figures—but most of us would also like to finish an army before old age overtakes us.
Over the years, many of us discover one technique, tool or habit that genuinely speeds things up or improves the final result.
What's the single painting shortcut that made the biggest difference for you?
It might be:
a favourite wash or dip
drybrushing
Contrast/Speed paints
zenithal priming
batch painting
better brushes
a wet palette
painting in a particular order
a particular paint range
something completely unexpected?
For me, a select use of Contrast Paint – not whole figures but a belt here or a cloak there.
And you? Not necessarily your best painting trick—but the one that most improved your results, your speed, or your enjoyment of the process.
