zombicide green horde with Contrast Paints
Cygor Brown for wood ?
These came with the Kick Starter version of the game. The wooden barricades were a light brown plastic so I sprayed them with the contrast undercoat and then covered them in Cygor Brown.
I thought the brown would look good as the mini is quite textured but its so dark that you cant really see any detail so in the end I had to dry brush it with mournfang brown to bring out the texture in the wood. Its only for a board game so I’m not going to send hours painting in the rope, I will just leave them as they are.
Cygor brown is so dark that I can’t see my using is it much in my Minis, if you’ve had any success with it, please leave me a comment
Thanks for recording your investigations. I’m afraid I’ve not got / tried the Contrast paints so have nothing useful to offer in advice, but it’s helpful for me to see your ups and downs to judge whether or not it’s worth me buying any at some point. It’s probably too late now, but I wonder if you’d picked an even lighter green whether you’d be happier with the results? I actually like what you’ve got at the moment. They look like quite decent tabletop quality – and easily improved with a little bit of detail work with normal paints.
