One of the techniques used by the ‘EM painters is to base coat the model and then use very thinned down contrast paints to build up colour on them. Similar principle to painting with lots of thin layers of glazes but with paint that has a lot of pigment in it. They reckon it made them great for blending and building up colour.

When using them more as GW intend you have to paint extremely thick layers on, which goes against all my painting instincts. I obscured all the detail on the face of the mini I was painting and instinctively removed the excess but you’re supposed to leave it to dry.
