Tutorial: Contrast Paints
Bases, shades, and highlights your models with a single application
Water-based formula
Pot size: 18ml
The 18ml pot is smaller than I expected, but a little goes a long way—one pass over the armour gave me base coat plus shading in one go. Perfect for getting five Intercessors done before dinner.
Took me one thin coat to get a smooth base, shaded recesses, and a brighter edge on my Space Wolves infantry—this grey does the work of three paints in one. The 18ml pot is small but lasts longer than you'd think.
Goes on thinner than regular layer paint, so two coats usually cover a Space Wolf shoulder pad nicely. Only gripe is that it settles into the recesses a bit unevenly on flat surfaces. Still, it cuts my base-shade-highlight routine down to one step.
