Magic Wash
Here’s a recipe for Magic Wash, the all-purpose, superior figure wash made with Future Floor polish. All you have to do is mix this with a little paint in a shade deeper than the base coat, and let it flow into the crevasses of the miniature. It’s an especially effective technique when painting a large number of historical miniatures because things go so quickly.
The Magic Wash Recipe:
1 part Pledge with Future Shine Floor Finish to Four Parts Water
Mix a large bottle of this ahead of time. Then when you need a wash in a particular color, put a few drops of the Magic Wash on your palette and add a few drops of the appropriate paint color. You can basically just slather it on the figure and it will flow into the deeper areas. The acrylic in the floor finish keeps the color from breaking up too much.
Battlemap: Shrine of the Bronze Dagger
Battlemap: Shrine of the Bronze Dagger is a free fantasy battle map usable with both RPGs and tabletop miniatures. The map shows a shrine, and the living quarters of a dark cult. It occured to me that it would also be great for a Cthulhu mythos adventure using the Pulp Alley games, so I’m going to download it.
