Hey guys,
Some of my older models need varnishing to take the shine off them from the old Citadel Inks. What matt varnishes do people use/reccomend?
Cheers as always.

Vallejo matt varnish (brush on) has always served me well. |

I hope I'm not hijacking the thread but does anyone know if Army Painter's anti-shine matt varnish spray is any good? |

CraigHallum, I use this army painter for all of my lotr with great results. Make sure you shake it plenty and clear the nozzle though, I've only had it happen once in 5+ years but my Theoden was frosted like a flake! |

That can also be caused by room temperature or if you sprayed outside. Check what the manufacturers recommend. |

It was a fairly new can and done inside, so about 100% sure it was user error :/ |
