They look good but I think I'm still inclined to go for soft tone.

I think we're now into the realms of personal preference |

Has anyone had any long-term problems with the B&Q type varnishes? I was chatting to a guy a few shows back about alternatives to Army Painter, and he mentioned that his figures had become discoloured over a couple of years, turning white?

The photos make it look fairly glossy. I find the problem with commercial varnishes (i.e. the big-tin DIY stuff) is that you can never be certain what finish you will get. Even the nominally "satin" finishes come up fairly glossy. Mind you, a lot of people like them like that - it's all a matter of taste I suppose.  |

Yeah it does come out glossy, but nothing that a splat with the Dullcote doesnt fix.

B&Q Quick Drying Floor Varnish, Rosewood shade, about £9 for a 750ml tin. Should be the clean brushes with water type, usual B&Q green own brand tin. Hope thats clear enough to get the right stuff.

B&Q are normally very good about returns - usually 30 days if you have the receipt. If you are wanting to do a swap then it should be absolutely fine.
