Thanks for the replies!
So, am I right the glazes are more like the old inks?
I used black ink for shading earlier on, but found I liked the effect of shades better for that part. I did really like the effect of brown ink of wood like things though.
I mix paints quite a lot, have been mixing paints long before I ever started with miniatures, so that's not a point. And I find it handy because I do not have the full color range GW is offering, just the colors I feel I'll be using most and I can always add when needed. and there are some colors I really don't see myself using anytime
When I'm painting batches however, I find it useful to use the full colors, and it makes it easier for me to pick up where I left later on.
