I dipped my first unit last week, some Spanish Caetrati, and I've only just managed to varnish them, as below.
I used strongtone dip. This worked very well, except on the whites which became rather too dingy. However, I overpainted the whites and was pleased with how they came out, especially as this means I will be able to up my painting rate. I'll take a better photo when they are all based up.
My painting table is overflowing with minis as I'm currently working on 4 units in parallel; an EIR cohort in the front, 2 units of 10 Spanish, rear left, and 9 successor pikemen, rear right. This is part of my plan to finish off most of the half painted units I have lying around.

Wow - those are superb sculpts (great painting too, of course). I'm particularly taken with the detail of the falcata & "toothpick" on the guy on the right. Dean
Hi Dean, yes Copplestone at his (very good) best. I just added a spare javelin in the shield hand.
They look great, dipping sure is worth doing when you see the production rate. Also, after you highlight them they look really good.
Yes. I can see myself trying to simplify my painting technique, so that I can increase my production rate, like you and SaxonDog.
