====Varnish==== Varnishing can be done in one of three ways. These all have different uses and a variety of ways to apply. *The first and most common is the spray varnish. This is where the infamously expensive GW <s>Purity Seal</s> Munitorium Varnish comes into play, which is known for being easy to apply, has a nice finish that is somewhere between a matte and a satin, and can be easily painted over. They are, as previously mentioned, easy to apply, but overdoing it can result in a frosted and mottled finish. These come in all finishes, so if you want your Wraithlords to be gloss, that's not a problem. *The second is to do something very similar, but with a brush. The benefits include a very reduced price (you can easily find a bottle of varnish from you FLGS or a hobby store that is twice the size of GW varnishes for half the price), the ability to manipulate coats more easily, as you can paint over just about any bottled varnish with acrylic paints, and the ability to smooth surfaces more easily to make use of things like decals. The downside is that it takes longer to apply, and if you're not careful, can result in thick layers of varnish. *The third is applying it with an airbrush, put some drops of varnish into the airbrush, add a few drops of water to thin it down, mix, and spray away. Make sure to spray from some distance, otherwise the same procedure as rattle can varnish. *The fourth are some inks and shades. Processes like dipping or ''quickshades'' (as Army Painter calls them) have a varnish as part of the mix, so when using them, this will be your last step. The downside is that if you fuck up, there's almost no way to fix it, and if your model is plastic, resin, or [[failcast]], it's almost impossible to strip.
