i used the peat brown on a batch of flames of war minis as a wash and it shaded them beautifully

I use the peat brown it\'s OK but if you can get hold of the FW acrylic inks they are a lot better apparently 29.5ml dropper bottles made by Daler-Rowney.

I mail order the I have but I have seen them in decent art shops as well

found FW acrylic inks .. but they are very expensive.. i can buy 2 VGC ink sets for the price of 12 FW acrylic inks

They are 29.5 ml each though and extremely pigment intensive. They do translucents and opaques, so you can do some interesting things with them

W & N inks are intended for \"Artisitic\" purposes and do contain a fair amount of shellac in them , which is why they dry so shiney. (Taste Bl***y awful)
I once tired to add Vallejo Matte Medium to some red ink.
Made an interesting and almost instant Jelly.

Used the red to enhance a Red armour once and it does give a very Lacquer-like shine to colours.

MY ONLY PROBLEM IS THEY ARE NOT LIGHTFAST...so they will fade over time.
but i use the peat brown and other dark colors to wash over white primer-kind of underpainting,also gives a nice smooth surface to paint over

I was using these yesterday for illustration purpose\'s, i reckon they would be ar to strong for minature painting and would have to be watered down about 15:1
