Blog Marcus' Blog 2019

5 of the 10 half painted clanrats from yesterday finished sans bases. Jezzails got rusted. On Barry the contrast castigator (paint test model) I experimented with flesh tearer red. Needless 5o say I've found my contrast paint for my stormcast. This simplifies my armor painting from 3 steps to 1 step, maybe 2 with light highlights.

When I read about contrast paints for the first time I instantly thought: "Those will be awesome for @Lord-Marcus!"

Lol thank you

@NIGHTBRINGER they aren't a bad thing. they also are not all that and a bag of chips like games workshop seems to think. The deeper colored ones can get some pretty decent results. I haven't seen any with the flesh colors or the browns that I particularly care for so I may avoid those or I may pick them up for experimentation I'm not sure.

But I'll say the deeper colors like reds and blues have been spot-on. As has warp lightning which is fast becoming my second favorite paint color in existence

Have you tried the contrast paints on skeletons? Might be a good/quick way of painting up Tomb Kings.

No, because a bone colored primer and the wonderful elixir of dark magic that is Vallejo sepia shade produces a similar result for cheaper.

More landsknechts built tonight. Why these instead of skaven? I'm glad you asked. It's simply because I needed a break from Brown and green.

Same here. I use Army Painter "skeleton bone" as a primer and then just slap some sepia wash (Army Painter "soft tone") over it and that looks great.
Like with the contrast paints it is only two steps.
