In this part of the video, the narrator introduces oil washes as a more effective alternative to acrylic washes for shading miniatures. Oil washes offer better control with the ability to adjust thickness for desired effects. They flow into recesses easily due to capillary action and allow for easy clean-up if mistakes are made. Unlike acrylic washes that dry quickly, oil washes provide a buffer for adjustments and are recommended for painting Space Marines and organic materials. However, the video also warns of a potential mistake that can ruin miniatures when using oil washes, advising viewers to watch another video for guidance on avoiding this issue.
