Sorry Nik ....Only just noticed the reply !
Yes...Those are the kiddies....But they used to do bottles of over a dozen different colours....The brown especially and the two different yellows were just superb.
Looks like they just do that handful of colours now, more's the pity. (Or am I not looking in quite the right place ?....I'll go and have another look  ;))

Thanks - Phil

Here's how I paint and dip 6mm: http://javieratwar.blogspot.com/2011/10/another-project-p.html
The home made mixture is made of 50% Vallejo matt medium + 50% water + a few drops of ink (black or brown) + 1 drop of detergent.

A tip with GW ink you must add detergent for an easier way is use white undercoat GW spray block paint your colours then use Windsor Newton Acryclic Artist Ink colour Peat Brown to get the same affect as black without killing the colour and if you want just give it a light drybrush after, this last step is a matter of choice though.

I prefer Windsor & Newton sepia or black calligraphy ink, watered down to 50%.
