Community Spotlight: Contrast Paint Edition

The new paints are out – and everyone is curious about what they can do. Let the experimentation begin!

Ok, now that I have the Contrast Medium and Grey Seer in a pot I was able to really test out the paints. This guy has no highlights except for picking out the eye and the hair a slight bit with Grey Seer cause I went to dark on accident with it. Almost every color has Medium used pic.twitter.com/3JpGiRqWct

Also this is what happens when you airbrush them over silver #contrastpaints #citadel #paintingwarhammer pic.twitter.com/sqhk4Z5oKc

It’s contrast time! Those Tau have been paint using the new contrast paint, straight from the pot with only one high lights. The lense and the metalic part are off course, not contrast paint. #paintingwarhammer #warhammer40k #contrastpaint pic.twitter.com/DFMW3T4pHm

Played with the contrasts paints again. This is two of the greens over and black and white pre highlight. They airbrush really well, this was un-diluted straight in the brush. So far “plaguebearer” is my favourite. Which produces the lovely yellowish olive. It’s quite interesting using these washes in my normal flow. I won’t use them for everything, but I’m sure there will be parts of models where they really come in handy. . . . #contrastpaints #sylvaneth #miniatureart #warhammeraos #ageofsigmar #looncurse #archrevenant

Test #miniature I did at @warhammer.edinburgh today using the new #contrastpaint ‘s. On the whole I feel I will only use a handful of the colours for detail work, and maybe the odd #skeletonwarriors horde ??☠️ #paintingwarhammer #art #spacemarines #warhammer #warhammer40k pic.twitter.com/MzBHvNUo4D
