My favourite application of contrast paint is to put it over a metallic paint, as opposed to a white base like they say you should If you put blue contrast over silver for example, you end up with a shiny metallic blue, and I think it looks cool. Black Templar over leadbelcher/iron hands makes awesome gunmetal

Yeah bro, prime leadbelcher and terradon turquoise contrast over it is the base of my Alpha Legion scheme. I don't really use the constrast the way they show you. they work nice as a heavy wash, or as a glaze even if you use the medium, if you want to tint.

maybe I'll need to try them again as a glaze, as I don't really like the effect as GW wants you to do it.

They work AMAZINGLY through an airbrush. Zenithal white over black, and then shoot the contrast straight on to it. Amazing results.

I've got to agree with some other comments here. Contrast aren't any good as GW wants you to use them, but as a glaze; they're a nice tool in the toolbox.

What I've got works for the Necrons but I might look into grabbing the Primer etc when the Votann come out since they would be using a much different color scheme than a heavy and dark metallic theme.

I agree with voodoo they are a great tool in your tool box. If you want a cheap alternative to them monument paints has an amazing transparent acrylic paint set get some contrast medium and you got yourself the same effect for cheaper and in my opinion better coverage with more vibrant colours if your willing to mix your own paints

When the time comes, I'll probably make a post consisting of 'This is the coloration/effect I'm looking for, these are the paints I have, what are my options?'

Mengel has a nice thread talking about the reformulated shades. It seems to confirm my suspicions that the new shades are basically just contrast paints. Also! Looks like the shades are moving to contrast pots so that's a noticeable drop in amount of paint per pot

Though if you pre-empted my request by putting a facebook image link or something similar, sorry my browser security settings probably blocked it.

If they messed with Agrax Earthshade we riot Turns out the entire Horus Heresy was because the Emperor was thinking about messing with the formula for Agrax Earthshade.
