Skeleton horde contrast is very high in my list too - super versatile paint, thin it down for perfect blonde hair, layer it carefully for classic bone, slap it on the obligatory skulls for quick and dirty bone. Cream cloaks... Yeah, love it.

lads, great content- thank you! It would have been nice to hear your commentary over some images of your work with these paints... Seems like the missing link if you're talking about the paint, showing the paint in the bottle... but not in use? Thanks nonetheless

Khorne red I've always found to be too 'purple', the better version of it IMO is Vallejo Gory Red. They recently redid the formulation of it though, and I'm still waiting on a new bottle in the mail, so crossing my fingers that it's still awesome.

Incubi Darkness + Ice Yellow is awesome for black highlights. Ice Yellow works as a highlight all-rounder because it adds luminosity. For metallics I recently moved over to The AK Metal-n-Alchemy, they are incredible (although Vallejo Model Air Silver still slaps)

I’ve got only Citadel paints but definetly give a shot to .950 Black, Titatnium White and Ive Yellow!!! and there’s my list: 1. Rakarth Flesh - since I’m a Maggotkin enjoyer this is my go-to for flesh, bones, skulls, tabards and other stuff… sooo versatile paint, great for mixing and over bright primer it takes one coat and only what matters is shade you’re using on it to make a difference. 2. Incubi Darkness - no words needed I guess, lot of people said it there before me. 3. Skeleton Horde - Rakarth Flesh of Contrat Paints I’d say 4. Targor Rageshade - For me, it’s next level Nuln Oil… I don’t like that dull black finish but since Targor is dark but not black it adds more interest and colour, you can use it almost on everything. 5. Iron Warriors - I don’t like Leadbelcher, it’s too bright for me and Iron Warriors fits my grungy, darker style and isn’t too bright even after shading. Best paint for dark armour and chainmail!

I recently tried a few Monument Pro Acryl paints, with Ultramaring Blue a top pick. I loved them so much the starter box is going to be our family base paint set (this Christmas), sorry citadel...a 100% dry to death mortality rate on different paint pots over the years has me saying no more! I have been using a few Vallejo Model Colour paints...Ice Yellow, Pale Sand, Blue Green and Blue Violet have been some of my favourites.

Agree totally on the VMC Black and Khorne Red - The red in particular is fantastic to build up from as was said. Ice Yellow I've just started using recently and I absolutely love it. The AK3 Ivory is a nice substitute for the VMC one as well by the way.

Top for me is pro acryl mahogany. Use it all the time for wooden gun stocks and leather. Flesh Tearer's red contrast is also a beautiful color. I always force it into projects because the shade is so unique. I like it most over silver metallics through an airbrush for red armor

After 40years of using Citadel paints, I dumped them all late last year and moved over to AK. It is weird trying to learn how to use new paints. I have had a mix of Vallejo paints too for some few years. I don's use contrast paints, I did a Gloomspite Gitz box set entirely in contrast in 2022 but I prefer normal acrylic paint. I believe all teh AK acrylic paints (except the metallics) are matt when dry and it is strange seeing that as compared to the Citadel finish. I have no favourites as I use so may different colours on a lot of stuff, no wait, Dirty Red AK11095 would be one, oh and AK Black AK11029, so I lied, I do have some favourites.👍👍

Here's my top 5. Thoughts? 1. Rakarth Flesh 2. Vallejo Royal Purple 70.810 3. Pro Acryl Bold Titanium White 4. Flesh Tearers Red 5. Retributor Armor/Incubi Darkness(I couldn't decide, so it's a tie)

​@@the_kieran_show So, first of all, I will definitely check out that alternative Gold, because alot of armies Ive been painting use Gold in some capacity and if theres a better version of Retributor Armor out there, I'm willing to try it because Pro Acryl's Rich Gold just didn’t do it for me. As for Rakarth Flesh, this was my best friend while painting my Gloomspite Gitz for a Tournament. I had about 375 points painted before the end of May this Year, I needed to paint enough models to get me to 2000 points by the second weekend of July. Rakarth Flesh did alot of heavy lifting in quite a few areas for me, mushroom stems, teeth, and other miscellaneous plants/fungi. I even used Rakarth Flesh as a base for some of the skin of my Troggoths. I wet-blended it with Pro-Acryl Dark Jade and used that as the foundation for their skin details. I was even able to do a bit of a transition by wet-blending the two colors. Even if it was a bit ungraceful, I personally think they turned out decently. I understand in-context that is a huge source of possibly unfair bias, since alot of it's versatility was within a single army, and models from the most recent armies I've done light painting on since haven't used Rakarth Flesh, but it came in clutch when I needed something flexible and it could flex quite well in my Gloomspite Gitz.

What would you describe the difference between Ivory, pale sand and ice yellow as?
@jorgemontero6384
@jorgemontero6384 7 ай бұрын
I run all three, plus deck tan. Ice yellow is by far the yellowest, so it will change the hue more, but it also adds the most luminosity punch. Add too much, and you risk your blue turning green. Ivory adds very little yellow, so little as to almost be white, so it's safer, but also least valuable for luminosity. Pale sand is in the middle. Deck tan is a brown white, so it's even safer, but your color gets lighter while the hue heads towards the middle. If you are painting for display, all of them have their uses. If you only have to use one for everything, I'd go with pale sand, as it's right in the middle, but if you are going to buy just two, that's the one I give up, because both edges are more valuable than the one in the middle. But without a budget, vallejo and AK have those four, plus a bunch of more specialized ones for violets, blues and reds. You'll find many a competitive painter with a shelf of off-whites, just because it's far more convenient, and easier to reproduce, than doing all highlight mixes from a bunch of single pigments.

@the_kieran_show 7 ай бұрын
Depends what you want, if you just want a brighter version of the existing colour then something like ivory or white will do that but you’ll loose some saturation. That’s where stuff like pale sand and ice yellow come in. The yellow adds some luminosity to it so you don’t loose as much saturation, but can be very fine margins as if you add too much you’ll change the colour completely!
