I am a firm believer in "the Dip" or Minwax Polyshades. I brush this on, to ensure coverage and control thickness.
For this project, I used Tudor Stain - which is very much like a black wash with a plastic shell. One reason I really believe in the Dip are the details that are brought out. I discovered that my MiniFig WWI Germans had fingers after I dipped some figures I painted! The effect can sometimes be very subtle, but I feel it is worth the effort.
More of my work can be found on my Displaced Miniatures pages.
The figures have now arrived at TMP, I've glued them down to some ½" square bases prior to doing the base work, and here's how they turned out:
The Dip gives them a slight sheen which makes them a little tricky to photograph, but you can see how the brown shading has brought out the folds in the flesh, and provides a rich hue to the spearshafts.
