That's about it. I decided to put new silver on the cavalry swords, since they darkened up just a bit from the dip. Here are the figs on a table (not a Battlelore board):
Conclusion
I think this technique might be useful to someone who wants to work with less mess, or have portability. You just need some markers and some primed figs; you could do the priming and the final work at home, but take the coloring stage of the work on the road. I don't think that, with dip or without, that it can replace painting for quality and color variety. For consistency, I might do some more Battlelore figures with this technique. I will continue to use paint for metal figures, although markers should work on white-primed metal. Maybe some enterprising TMP'er would like to try markers on metal?
