have you thought about using the new washes from gw at all?

it would be a good middleground for you, with a minimum of fuss.

with a minimum of basecoats and a few washes youll get much better results than simply dipping them will..


prime.
basecoat (block in the color fields.. 1.2.3)
wash the fields in the appropriate color, green wash for skin, mud wash for boots etc...

finally just slap some metallics on.


et voilá.


a full squad shouldnt take more than a day if youre being neat, tops.
