THUNDERFISTS Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Does anyone have big plans to use the new Contrast paints? I'm curious to see how well they'd do on armor but still skeptical because they're largely flat areas. I'm looking to do my Catachans with Darkoath Fleshshade for a tanner skin tone, and ironically Greenskin for the camo.

duz_ Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I went and had a play with them today in fact I tested on a primaris model which isn't the ideal candidate I don't think they'll be great for tanks, but definitely flesh - Although I only tried the Guilliman flesh tone, which I thought was an odd shade, I'm not sure what other colours are out there Fortunately they do dry with a flat tone, a lot of pic's I've seen have been shortly after they've been applied and seem quite shiny I was surprised with the Ultramarine Blue... I might find a Mordian I can test on and see how it goes....

Chris521 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I've been planning out a number of different projects for contrast lately so I haven't really been focused on my guard, but I would guess that it will be quite good for standard guardsman. Looking at the standard Cadian, the armor, fatigues, and skin should all work well and due to the extra flesh, Catachans should be even better. Vehicle will be less straight forward, though I'm sure people will think up some interesting ways to use them. I did see these videos the other day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmF_13Xnb80&t https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttd7FS5DHvI They give a few ways you might get some interesting effects.

MithrilForge Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I’m going to try Militarum Green on my cadians fatigues... it looks very close to my death world forest base, wash and highlight effect I have on some of my troops , and I was thinking of using either snakebite leather or aggaros dunes for the other platoons fatigues ....whichever one looks like Zandri dust with a wash?!?.will really have to see those colours in real life before I decide though... it will speed up troop painting a lot but I doubt I will use it on vehicles... the old fashioned way for them I think ?!..

WarriorFish Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 It looks like they'll be good for Guard, as mentioned they're probably not as useful on smooth/flat surfaces but for infantry models with lots of contours and the like they'll be great for getting the core work done. I'm looking forward to seeing what can be done with them :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356582-contrast-paints-with-your-guard/#findComment-5330740 Share on other sites More sharing options...
helterskelter Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 So soon, so very soon, aggoras dunes i think I'll be using for fatigues, dark brown one for boots, etc Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356582-contrast-paints-with-your-guard/#findComment-5330748 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightbox Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I'll definitely be using contrasts a lot. Especially for my blackstone fortress guard models as they're packed with details.

sairence Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Was planning on black templar over leadbelcher for a gunmetal kind of look for the armour on my infantry. Still debating on what to use on the clothing. I'd like a purple tone, but that will potentially look too dark overall, so might go for a greenish/teal variant instead. First, to strip all the black basecoat off again though. :p Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356582-contrast-paints-with-your-guard/#findComment-5330975 Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I mess around with some blacks on both primers The Black Templar Black is more of a blue grey, where as the grey I used (I forget which one sorry... :sweat: ) was more of a black TBH I wasn't sold on either of them...

tvih Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I'm most likely going to try Blood Angels Red for my Vostroyan coats. Tested it on a squig today.

duz_ Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 The red seemed to work really niceI think it would work great for Vostroyans :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356582-contrast-paints-with-your-guard/#findComment-5330995 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phubar Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Does the new contrast correspond to normal colors? If yes you could use the contrast for infantry and the classics for vehicles.
