First 19 Orcs are done. So far so good with Army Painter. Here's what I've learned so far:
- Time savings are substantial. No hard numbers but it felt like I painted the unit rather quickly.
- I accidentally double-dipped my test Orc. He came out a little darker, but nothing too noticeable. You would not be able to pick him out from the unit.
- The biggest time sink is getting good, even coverage of reds and bone. Shields took 4 coats of red. I will try white undercoat next time.
- Easiest mistake to make is missing details as you try to power through the models. I didn't hit the Standard Bearer's teeth with bone until I was about to dip him.
- Keeping the number of individual colours to a minimum really helps.
