Reply To: Contrast Paints, is everyone really using them and are they actually quicker?

I’ll take a look at that one, cheers….

Really looking for a Napoleonics based one in 15mm, I’ve seen a few 28mm ones but they don’t seem to work as well (the reds and blues end up as being too vibrant and “washy” looking). I imagine the problems might be compounded with attempting smaller scale minis with bright colours (the contrast with darker hues and browns seem to work better overall so should do well in 15mm).

I’ve seen painters using the “bone” undercoat with the white contrast for leggings and straps for the troops that “sort of” works (they usually end up heavily dry brushing white over the top again). Not the fastest process, but again striving to make white on white uniforms simply “look” good is the challenge.
