So, I thought I would add a few remarks on my experience with these two options for "dipping" your figures.  They both are about the same shade when they dry.  I think Army Painter drys a little faster and maybe a bit less sticky in final gloss appearance when it drys. But, honestly I can't see the difference except in the price. The Miniwax is $10.00 and the Army Painter is $30.00. I do appreciate Army Painter bringing a product as such and the other painting products. However, this is too expensive.
