hey. I an wanting to make my army look shiny. I have tried Glazing with a spray paint glaze but it either goes on too thick and leaves a white leftover or doesn't go on enough and doesn't look shiny. Any suggestions? has anyone tried the New GW glazes? the yellow looks interesting. i haven't tried it yet though.I would prefer a spray glaze. thank you.

Tried it on a sword and made a sting glowing effect form lotr.

It will give it that slimy effect you are looking for, but won't change the color of the original paint job that a glaze would do.

I just use the GW Gloss Varnish, 'ardcoat. I'm sure you can find something cheaper, but personally I don't use a lot of it so I haven't really bothered looking. I mostly used it on my necrons, who after a wash looked a bit too matt and flat, a very thin coat of gloss varnish brought out the shine in the metallic.

EDIT: One suggestion I'll make if you do decide to go with a paint on varnish, paint it on thin, as it tends to gather in the crevices so if you aren't careful you'll end up with crevices that are shinier than the raised surfaces. I varnished like 10 models which came out looking strange before I figured out it was because the varnish was gathering in the crevices, it's just you don't notice it while you're painting.
