Dipping my toe... Done

Here are the two completed (clickable) units of Spanish caetrati.  The twelve figures without falcata were dipped; the other 8 with the swords I bought on eBay and were (rather nicely!) painted by DPS.  All the minis are Foundry or Companion, except the leader who is Gripping Beast.

I'm very pleased with the dip.  I feel that a base colour, highlight and dip over the top (with overbrushing for whites) gives a better effect than the three colour method, and is quite a bit faster.

They look good. Your dip is a lot less heavy handed than many others which I think works well.

Thanks Allan; I brush it on, very lightly.
