88th post - Varnishing the Models!

Image
Hey friends! Almost a year has passed since I finished the paint work on my Gondorian Banner Bearer Knight , and it has been waiting on the "to varnish shelve" since then. So, this week I have decided to finally varnish him and publish the whole process in here. Varnishing the miniatures is one of those subjects that usually gets a lot of debate by the hobbying community (paired with the eternal  Citadel vs Vallejo discussion) and, in fact, all the pro's and con's should be thought over before you start. So, let us see: -   Pro's It protects/reinforces the model's structure, hardening it and preventing it to break easily; Can be used to provide an extra shining look on metallics, such as swords and armors; Prevents your paint work from chipping or scratching over time. - Con's It might take hold on what your miniature looks like in the end.

And now, for book 17, we got this lovely orc creature called Grishnákh! Grishnák has a strong hippie sense and a deep love for nature, especially the kind of nature that splashes on the floor when one's guts gets ripped off!!!! Enough with the praises. This miniature is really cool and I had lots of fun painting it. I'm aware that the face is a little messed up, but, overall, I'm happy with it eheheh And now for the 3rd Vallejo review section this is what I have to say: Blah blah blah... Vallejo is the best... blah blah blah... go ahead and buy it... blah blah blah... Here are my previous 2 reviews on Vallejo: Review 1 , Review 2 This are the paints I used:
