Contrast trial

[JAC]

I popped into GW in Winchester today and they were doing trials of the new contrast paints. As a slow painter I thought I'd give them a go, the opportunity to base coat and shade in one fell swoop seemed too good to miss!

I quite like them although some are not quite opaque enough, perhaps I failed to heed the warning to shake thoroughly. They are super watery like a wash, so you have to be careful not to splatter them everywhere. It is also quite easy to over apply and then it pools in recesses, but a dry brush or corner of a tissue should be enough to deal with it. They have two new undercoats (wraithbone on the primaris and grey seer on the poxwalker) which give different tones to the colour. You could also use a white undercoat.

I will probably get a couple of them to speed up my painting!

I timed this well as my next project is KOW effort.

I'm taking a shopping list into TV on Friday (hoping to jump the queue as Graham they were on sale from Saturday).

Going to try them out on the Godsworn Hunt.

The primaris was blood angels red, the flesh of thw poxwalker is plaguebearer flesh, the brown bits skeleton hoard, the black is black templar, the purple guts were shysh purple and i think the trousers gryph charger grey.

Edit-think I worked out the other colours....

This might be the godsend I'm looking for to get some paint on some models...

[Brad85]

definitely want to get hold of some of these, just a case of what and when Probably green for KOW gobbos maybe...

Thanks for the pics, really useful. I like them, I think if you have a layer paint that matches and just quickly go round the model to get rid of the overly shaded areas where pooling has occurred they should look great. Them maybe a quick dry brush/ highlight and done!

As an aside, after seeing this post I thought I’d pop into town and pick some up myself, the shop was closed! 9:45 on a Saturday morning and it’s closed! doesn’t look like the other toy shop are stocking them (and looks like they might even be winding down their GW stock.....) so will have to order mine online.

Got almost all my shopping list of colours from TV just now but black had sold out already.

Someone posted last night on FB a complete Godsworn using contrasts. Post said they had been doing in a store over the last two lunch breaks and they looked reasonable.

Very generous Manager as it looks like many colours were used! I is this like asking a woman her age or do you mind telling how many you bought?
