Hey Callum, what range of paints do you refer to? Which ones do you primarily use? Mine are mostly Derivan, with some citadel. I'm not a big fan of the current citadel paint range though, I found all the colour sank to the bottom and it would require about an hour of shaking and stirring to get it to reasonable thickness, which is why if I use it I have to lay on several coats.

My paint jobs tend to be limited to these steps: undercoat, block in base colours/shade colours, ink wash/ mid layer, highlights/reapply base colours, add details. My patience generally determines how many of these steps I cover, as well as how much I like the model. I mean, I did my necrons in their base colours and added washes with re-adds, but for the Saruman I just got, I did two separate 3 layers on his robes, most of which I had to mix which was annoying, especially since just like usual I use up too much paint getting the balance right.
