What's the difference between Contrast Black Templar and Contrast Black Legion?

[JeffJedi]

Loyalties aside, has anyone used them both? How do they differ?

Black Legion is more just flat black.  It looks good.  It behaves less like a contrast paint and more like a well thinned black.  It covers really well.

 

Black Templar behaves more like a regular contrast paint with a blueish hint.  It works great too.

 

Two different paints for two different jobs.  I have both and use them both a lot.

Black Legion has basically replaced Abaddon Black for me.

I top up all new pots of Nuln Oil with Black Templar to get a Nuln Oil closer to the old formula.

Black Templar is a "classic" contrast paint, in the sense that it's a strongly pigmented but still translucent paint and does the auto-shading thing, so the raised areas will be a subtle bluish-grey rather than pure black. Black Legion is basically a more durable black acrylic ink, and gives a solid opaque black in one coat.
