Andy Hall visits Dave Cross to examine the new washes, spray gun and painting book. Cross explains the difference between opaque Foundation paints and translucent paint-based shading, while ’Eavy Metal painters describe experiments with metal and colour. Demonstrations compare washing before or after highlights, and Chad Mierzwa develops a complete Tyranid scheme from a shaded white undercoat. The feature presents the releases through their practical effect on consistent army painting.

The guide explains how wash quantity changes the strength of shading and compares selective application with an overall coat. Chad’s Haradrim example receives highlights before several coloured washes, blending transitions and strengthening recesses. A second demonstration shades metal immediately after its basecoat and adds bright highlights afterwards. Smaller examples show how the same approach changes Orc armour, Plaguebearer skin, old bone and Bloodletter flesh.
