Tutorial: Contrast Paints
Bases, shades, and highlights your models with a single application
Water-based formula
Pot size: 18ml
Didn't think one coat could cover this well on my Stormcast cloaks, but the pigment density in this 18ml pot genuinely surprised me. It settles into the recesses on its own and leaves a clean highlight on the raised edges, so I skip the shading step entirely now.
The 18ml pot goes further than I expected since one dip covers most of a space marine's armor. Water-based means I can thin it down for glazing without it going chalky. Warp Lightning over a white basecoat gave my ork skin a bright, even finish with zero layering.
Didn't think one coat could actually base, shade and highlight at the same time, but this stuff does it. The water-based formula thins down nicely too if you want a softer tone. 18ml pot is small, I'll probably burn through it fast.
