It's always so satisfying to watch you work man, another beautiful model. It amazes me how clean and gunk free your paint pots are also, a standard to aspire to XD
I just want to say "thank you" for making these videos. I am just getting started into the painting side of things, having done my first model, but am honestly not looking forward to all the base, wash, edge highlight, repeat and the 8 different times of a single color that GW has as I kinda prefer the "You want a shade, mix the medium and color, use more medium if needed" that the contrast has, and been a bit discourage of it from the general videos that I seen people making such good looking models with only the base colors.
Contrast is definitely for you. I'm not a fan of layering with base paints too much as I find to get the softer transitions on things like cloaks you have to do so much mixing and waiting and shading and layering it's just too time consuming whereas bunging a couple of varied coloured Contrast paints on in a smooth considered manner takes about a quarter of the time and can look even more effective!
I’m nervously looking forward to following this, but could do with some advice on how to adjust this for the Mephrit dynasty. My weapon glow is red/orange rather than lumo green which I think will still work with the bronze main body. However, their armour panels are Deathworld Forest and ideally the army has this in common, so I’m not sure if this would go with the bronze body...? Perhaps I need to be less hung up on army uniformity and just have my characters break free from this.
Typically Mephrit has a Silver body right? It goes better with the colder green of Deathworld forest. a Red/orange glow would work with the Bronze. To do a Mephrit scheme I would probably do something like paint all the armour Iron Hands Steel, then shade it with a Mix of Basilicanum Grey and Gryph Charger Grey. I'd do the Green with a layer of Militarum Green followed by a layer of Creed Camo and I'd do the Orange/Red with a thinned down slightly Blood Angels Red over a Corax White base. I'd definitely need to test it thoroughly but hopefully that helps a bit?
@@Warhipster Yeah it does help, thanks mate. I really like how striking your Skorpekh Lord looks so I’ll try and achieve the same for mine, along with the colours advice above. All of this will ensure he dies turn one of course. Enjoying the content both on here and the podcast. Cheers!
Just wondering, what made you change from using the grey undercoat for the black templar to a blue, mostly meaning for your power armour in recent vids, cheers
The blue gives a darker/richer black when you place the black templar over it. You can also keep the blue on the edges to create a nice highlight with minimal effort. You can see Warhipster also uses the black carefully to create a blended effect on the weapons
There's a number of different Black recipes you can do with Contrast depending on the effect you want. Grey with a Black layer gives quite a cold look, Blue with a Black layer gives a clean black, Turquoise with a Black gives it a smooth, sheer Ethereal Black. Black on it's own gives a really dark grey, and the only one I haven't experimented with yet is Purple with a Black layer for an evil looking black. Essentially it's down to your choice/what you want the model to do.
You are the only reason why GW's contrast paints are selling well. Thanks for the amazing concise videos!
Glad you like them! I'm hoping one day I see a cut of that sweet sweet Contrast Cash
I hope when I get to painting my indomitus set using your tutorials mine will look as good. Thank you for this.
You can do it! I believe!
This has become my favourite painting channel on YT, convinced me to try out some contrast paints
I'm honoured! Thank you So much!

Thank you very much! Much time is spent avoiding gunking it up. Also Contrast doesn't seem to have as great an issue unless you spill it everywhere
Looks incredible!
He's one of my best from the Indomitus Box. I kind of want all of the New Destroyers to accompany him

Great tutorial thank you for thats i'm going to try it
Have fun! I hope it works for you as much as it did for me!

What sort of palette do you use? Convinced me to try out contrast paints too!
Just a piece of Citadel palette paper. You want to avoid a wet palette with Contrast as water doesn’t do nice things to Contrast Paints
