Send messageI'm really interested in the contrast paints being used in conjunction with normal paints to act a scheme line a glaze.
Pretty sure I saw a guy do a normal base coat, then put some shading in, some highlight layers and then contrast paint over the top on a video somewhere and it sort of was a bit like doing a glazing job."Let me tell you, when yung Rouj had his Senna and Mansell Scalextric, Frank was the goddamn Professor X of F1." -
Might do some more of my Shadespire stuff with this paint. I imagine the bigger GW models provide the best results compared to the smaller less detailed models that I tend to buy.
I'm not so keen on 40k or Sigmar tbh, but that's just personal preference.
Ooh, actually I'll probably do my human BB team finally.
I really need to quit work, gets in the way of shit I want to do.

Send messageThis new paint thing makes me even more likely to start painting my stuff.
So I'm about 50% there. One day.It's a goddamn snoozefest out there. -
Had a quick (10 mins per model) bash with some contrast paints. Probably need to use the medium to get the blend effect I want with the carapace, but if I stick to one colour I think i’ll be ok. Absurdly quick, but requires a bit more attention than I gave them I think.

Send messageSo is that just two different bottles of contrast used there? One turquoise and one sort of bone-ish?
This sounds like I could get very quick results without having to worry about my shaky hands.It's a goddamn snoozefest out there. -
Yeah, that's all I used (well, I used two turquoise to try something but my idea didn't really work out that well) but they're just one coat. Helpful to have a decent brush with a point so you can move the paint around well, but there are a lot of armies it would work well for. Anything organic or with detailed armour without a lot of flat surfaces. Skin is very easy too.

Do you think the spray is necessary Tempy?
I'm just using white, mainly because I only just bought some a few weeks back and it ain't cheap! -
You can spray over any spray, the contrast spray is just formulated to give a smooth off-white colour. The science behind it basically - white spray uses big molecules for the pigments, mixing a smaller pigment in to get an off-white ensure it sprays over without becoming grainy. I have seen people do it with zenthinal spraying, also seen good examples of stuff over metallic spray. Doesn't work so great over brushed on paint apparently.

Hey, Temps you might be able to help me?
A toy shop was closing down near me a while back so I nabbed two cans of citadel spray paints, in black and white.
I used the black to base my trooper on the previous page and the black coverage was horrible. It had a gritty texture in places, but was inconsistent. I had to hand sand it back.
I also grabbed a can of gloss varnish and that went to shit when I used it as well. The gloss went on lovely and even but then went a frosty white when it dried.
I wasnt happy at all.Live= sgt pantyfire PSN= pantyfire -
I have never had any issues with Citadel Black myself, seems to go on perfectly. I tend to warm my cans a little and shake them a good deal first, I also spray closer than they recommend, in short moving bursts.
Gloss varnish can frost up, there is a way of fixing it but I can't remember what it is - it's a common thing to google. I haven't used varnish as plastic doesn't ever tend to need it in my experience, unless they're on display or getting used a lot. -
Thanks, I'll look into it. I was spraying the black my normal 6-8 inches away, maybe it was drying in the air but it wasn't a hot day or anything.Live= sgt pantyfire PSN= pantyfire
-
Could be a duff can. I've had a lot of issues with White, but black has always been fine for me.
-
I paint on Newton and Winsor varnish, Galleria I think, as I've never had an issue with it. Perfect every time. I have to varnish, was getting chips galore when I didn't.

Whenever I've used Citadel varnish it goes milky every single time. -
They redid their varnish recently, Munitorium I think it's called, it's supposed to be better than Purity Seal for clouding, but varnishes can cloud pretty easily. I think you have to shake them a hell of a lot.
-
I've got a Matt and gloss bottle of each of those frantic.
It's just much quicker to spray.
I've switched to using the Vallejo Air gloss it's excellent.
And I unused their matt varnish to knock back a kit I'd glossed for pin washing and the result was instantaneous and really good.Live= sgt pantyfire PSN= pantyfire -
Quicker yes. I just don't trust spray varnish in general anymore...
Although hand varnishing this viking army won't be fun.
Picked up the Victrix ones that were released recently. They're really really nice sculpts.
The others I've done are Footsore shieldmaidens and Warlord Games archers.
Just need to glue them all together. All 60 of them...
It starts tonight. -
I am surprised you need to varnish plastics. I've not had any chipping with my AoS or 40k stuff
-
Mainly metal I'm talking about. Might not bother with the plastic vikings. I'll see how they fare.
-
Can't wait to paint this fella.

It's so weird seeing reasonably proportioned models, with weapons that don't look like they fell out of an RPG. What's going on with that Ax head?! It's not half the size of his torso!
-
He uses it for chopping wood on his farm when he's not pillaging chapels in far away lands.
-
Set myself a ten minute challenge, see how fast I could splodge contrast on. (not including base obvs).
Again, not gonna win any awards but.... 10 minutes? Yeh, I'll take that tyvm.
Rattling through these Vikings faster than I ever imagined. -
Black magic is what it is. I'm buying more of this stuff. MOAR.

I’m looking at getting Blackstone Fortress for my birthday, has anyone played it ? If so, how good is it ? (i think Tempy has)Wii U Themagickman - PSN - Themagickman Xboxlive - Themagickman
-
It’s very good! Maybe even consider looking into Contrast paints to paint it now?
As a game it works beat if you treat it like Hero/Warhammer Quest - a continuous quest -
But Gaz.... You have Gloomhaven. Play more Gloomhaven.... SRSLY
Howdy, Stranger!
