Brick Bungalow Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 Contrast paint with quickshade. I think I can finish up using gesso. No regular hobby paint. This is much easier. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fingolfen Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 I'm still experimenting with them a little at a time. I really like the black for boots on Guard or Brood Brothers. Makes short work of them and they look good. I'm experimenting with others on some of my Genestealer cult, but I don't have enough of a data set to post the results yet. I *think* they're going to work out really well for some of my current backlog... Watch my Genestealer Cult thread as that will have the first updates with the contrast paints. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 I succumbed and bought a few colors. Did a test model on an ork boy, and was impressed. They're not going to win any awards, but make for fine tabletop quality. I should be able to assembly-line a dozen or so boyz in an evening 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 Here's my first crack at Contrast paint. The color selection is a bit wonky, I wanted to try as many colors as I could. I'm pretty happy with the results, especially considering how fast they paint. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 Will priming and painting on sprue be the best use? or do you need it assembled for the dry factor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 I'd paint assembled, though not just because I think gravity needs to pull the paint 'downwards' but because the Contrast paint is incredibly freakin' fragile. A strong breeze will chip the stuff. Assembling after painting will result in a lot of touch-ups. Clearcoating is mandatory, imo... though, I guess if you clearcoated on the sprue too it might work. Contrast paint gets complex quickly. 🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Glacius Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 Has anyone tried apothecary white yet? I just got it and it doesn't look white at all, it looks like grey soup. Not what I was expecting after seeing the images in the pinned thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Rock Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 The white is kind of a weird animal. It does tend to have a wider disparity between the dark parts and the "highlights." It works reasonably well on things with plenty of texture, but on something like, say, an actual apothecary, it looks quite off. The pants of the Infinity models I posted in my modeling thread are Apothecary White: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 Using it on chaos warriors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Rock Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 Yeah, Chaos warriors might be a little difficult for it. They've got a fair bit of texture, but also a little too much in the way of big, wide open spaces. It might be different over a different base, though. The above example I shared is applied directly over Vallejo Mecha light grey primer, but if you prime + base coat with one of the Citadel bases, it might come out a little whiter.

Brother Glacius Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 I think it only works over a very light primer color. I am using it over the light green and it is not coming out well. Shame as the color chart examples made it seem like it would do a better job. Just going to have to rethink how I want to do the CSM now.

VonVilkee Posted July 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 The apothecary white isn't so much white as it is a grey wash designed for white. Look back to my little cherub the wings are the apothecary white single coat and look wonderful but I used wraith bone GW primer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouke Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 One thing I cannot find definitively is what the dry time is on these. Anyone know? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Rock Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Can't say for certain off the top of my head, but as with anything, it depends on how thick of a coat you lay on. It tends to pool in recesses like a wash or an ink, and if you glob on too much, it can take a while to dry up. I find myself having to work on 2 or 3 models at a time, at least, to let stuff dry between coats/colors, and even then, I still need to pause and wait sometimes. That said, if you've got a steady hand and you're tidy with your brushwork (two things I most decidedly do not have) then you can work around it while it's drying a little bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouke Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 I'm just getting back into painting after a decade, so this stuff is great. but I don't have the steady hand. I'm tending to drop a base coat and move on doing multiple models. I've not got the greatest feel for the dry time, and when I check it's all over the board what people say. I do a thickish coat for sure, but tend to brush off so it doesn't pool as badly as I've seen some of the youtube videos do. Guess it's more practice to figure this out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the issue I ran into, smaller wire like application of the blood angel red didn't show definition, had to keep thinning it to see it. Larger spaces seem to shine easily though.
