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

I am a little late to this party but I have been using them quite extensively recently.  When you need to churn out dozens of miniatures in a reasonably short space of time, as I did, they are definitely a very, very good option. I tend to finish them off with a thinned brown wash as well this helps to disguise any lack of neatness.  I have also used them with army Painter dip to great effect.

 

In the run up to a recent weekend long RPG session I painted probably getting on for 50 miniatures in around 3 weeks, although I certainly didn’t get chance to paint every day and also had a long weekend break during that time.  Not exactly to stunning quality but more than adequate to the job.  Here’s a few highlights

I even took a few pots with me on the gaming weekend in order to speed paint a monster that had been 3D printed specifically for the game.  Sadly I had mixed the brown wash a little too strongly, but nevertheless, that took about half an hour, if that
