This has the been the single most useful review of the Contrast Paints. Thanks Mike.

@Epicduck 5 лет назад

Thanks for the kind words: D

@garygcrook 5 лет назад

I'd like to see the same type of testing with the Wraithbone primer. I've tried out some of the paints in my local Warhammer Store and found some work better over Wraithbone than Greyseer. Some of the Contrasts do seem to be designed to work over other paints than the 2 stock primers. I've tried some of the greens over Retributor Gold, and found a few interesting things.

@Epicduck 5 лет назад

@@garygcrook every other Contrast video in my channel is over wraithbone, fyi - so hopefully that helps a bit :) I didn't have enough bits to do both without it just looking like a mishmash of random parts.

@garygcrook 5 лет назад

@@Epicduck Well you could always make reference to others' Contrast comparisons, like Warhammer Chelmsford's, yet with your own opinions and takes on it based off your own experience with the paints. facebook.com/WarhammerChelmsford/posts/2296142703797033 Even if all you said was 'it seems to work better over Wraithbone from what I've seen elsewhere.' I think that would be brilliant.

@Epicduck 5 лет назад

"Works better" is very subjective though. Shyish over Wraithbone has slightly pink highlights, while over Greyseer it has almost grey-blue highlights. Which is "better" depends entirely on what you're painting, and your personal preferences. I don't feel qualified making that judgement call for other people :)

@nikvernon4251 5 лет назад

Finally! a video comparing paints in this range and not spending 10 minutes talking about what Contrast is/isn't or talking about the hype. this is what I needed to make a purchase decision- thank you!

@Epicduck 5 лет назад

I'm going to do some "how to get the most out of your Contrast paints" style follow ups. I really slapped these swatches together quickly because I only had access to the full line of paints for 2 nights. But yeah, I'm not trying to make clickbaity hype or diss videos, I just like giving people good information and painting fun stuff :)

Hey thanks man for showing off all the different colors and helping me choose which ones to avoid and which ones I really really want. Alot of youtubers just show themselves using the paints. Which is useful. And there was one guy that had a tip to us a sponge to use contrast paints on largest flat surfaces(he used a tank in his example).

For gaurd, I found that army painter skeleton bone spray + skeleton horde contrast = wraithbone & aggaros dunes but $5 less. It also is nearly identical in result but two steps less in process to the grey prime + zhandri dust + drybrush + wash process I have been using after seeing on Sonic sledgehammer. I really appreciate this in depth comparison, nobody else has put this much effort into this yet. Thank you!

@Edward-Plantagenet 5 лет назад

Brilliant review. Rather than just glowing praise or venomous hate gives a very good colour by colour breakdown making deciding which to try less hit and miss.

@VinegarAndSaltedFries 4 года назад

I like this video. It’s well made, and great for learning the colors. I do think after using these paints for awhile that the full ability of these wasn’t unlocked in these earlier reactions. Some of these that you passed on I’ve been using in combination with Vallejo and P3 and Citadel regular paints to do some pretty sweet things. Great video. I truly believe after a longer time using these that they are more of a tool in the sense Lahmian medium and Ardcoat, and washes are a tool. Using them by themselves is fine but they will most likely grow with the artist if practiced with and used. With this I’m not sure any of them are a straight pass. And while awesome they don’t need to be in a lineup either. They are very interesting and I’ve grown to really like them.

@Paddzr 5 лет назад

big props! I ordered few you liked and few you didn't... But that doesn't matter, what matters is, this video is the best comparison I've seen.

I want an easy setup to get my minis table ready, and these paints seem to be the answer. Thanks for the content. I’m painting space marines and ships for a Star Wars game, and I’ve bought: Basilicanum Grey Black Templar Ultramarines Blue Talasar Blue Snakebite Leather Blood Angels Red Nazgred Yellow Orc Flesh Nuln Oil Agrax Earthshade It might have overlap with some of the color choices, but I felt there was some good option for color effects.

Now that contrast paints have been out for a few weeks and I've had a chance to work with them I use them mainly for a glazes now. Mixing them with the medium about 50 50 and putting over a coat of whatever color produces some amazing results. Barely any edge highlighting needed and I'm real happy with the results. It's my new reverse wash method basically. Some colors I still use from the pot but colors like warp lighting green and telessar blue have great effects over bright vivid colors

@swiftkeibo 5 лет назад

@Smilomaniac 5 лет назад

Dark Angels Green seems like the archetypal 'fantasy forest cloak' color. I'd say their iconic color comes from the edge highlighting, more so than just a dark green armor. Unless I was going to paint an Ork, or other organic/non-armored army, I don't see myself picking any of these up just yet.

Skip em both, and find somewhere you can get Montana 94 who have 120 colours, dries more matte than GW or Army Painter and costs a quarter of the price, while being better (not the American "montana paints" but the Spanish one) just make sure it's the 94 formula, their other formulas do not work for miniatures. Their yellow sprays made Iyanden a breeze.
