I completely changed my mind about Contrast paints. Well maybe not completely, I still think there is a other options out there for everything they do, that is better if you know how to, but the VERSATILITY of these paints makes it an absolute weapon in everyones arsenal, and especially when you are starting out they are so good for so many things!

Cool video, but kind of disappointing. I wish you would have went more in depth, and showed us a comparison of each of the paints using the airbrush. Otherwise, we're just taking your word for it that the SUPER EXPENSIVE Citadel Contrast paints are better. It comes across kind of shill-y.

Why wouldn't you have ink and medium/flow improve etc and create your own? You can pickup a set of inks relatively cheaply, mix the colours you need and go from there. This also gives you the flexibility of having the inks on hand as well, which are also useful. I must say I am sort of disappointed that youtubers are championing GW contrast (others have come to this same conclusion) for off label use of the product (they were intended to do double duty of base+washes for faster painting, not use with an airbrush) that can be achieved with a little effort using other non GW products - as these YTers have the ability to shape peoples habits. I could envision an app that squidmar has some base colors in the free version and then some paid "mixes" using widely available liquitex or DR inks, medium etc.

So $10 is imho a little too high for the pots. What would you consider a reasonable price?

Overspraying is killing me. Can‘t you give us a more in depth step by step tutorial on how to airbrush properly?😭

Thing that kills me is I already own 50+ normal pots of paint .... thats soooo much money !

I feel like I am the only one who doesn't like them tbh 🤣 just not very consistent between colours is my issue, some look super strong but when applied they aren't and some just look ok but when applied they are really strong 😅 I see how they can be super useful though. Marco Frisoni has shown amazing aways to use them, Inks and oils over the last several years. Many people have copied from him directly especially with the inks and oils that's when they blew up again around 2 years ago or so (think it's two and have years ago now actually if not more)

Will be interesting to see how the citadel contrasts go vs army painter ones and the scale instant colours. Have you used these other brands Emil? Especially since the army painter ones are 1/2 the cost!

I would love to see long and detailed tutorial how to get those looks. What to look for, how to approach and apply describe while painting a figure... Those results are astonishing!

Contrast paints were a gamechanger for me, even if I don't use an airbrush nor do zenithal priming. They've allowed me to paint several armies to a decent standard in a very short time, and now there's more painted than unpainted stuff in my pile of shame.

This has been the single most helpful video I have seen to help improve my airbrush skill. Understanding how light/shadows work in real life can really bring a miniature to life. I have two kids and little time to work on my Death Guard army, this has helped a lot! Thanks Squidmar for the awesome videos!

This was simply AMAZING. This is exactly the method how I'm striving to paint; thank you so much for laying it out so clearly!

@TheSilentW 2 жыл бұрын

I made room on my table, prepared my airbrush kit and your method really works! So, thanks a lot, there is really a significant difference to just brush them on.

Really love that you’re getting to paint your own minis. Great video.

Really like how vibrant those squigs are. Would love to see a longer more detailed video on them (if you haven't done one already that is...)

I am so glad you did this video! I came into the hobby right around when the contrast paints came out. I still like traditional acrylics, but the contrast paints are so amazing when paired with a Zenithal highlight. I felt like a lot of content creators immediately were against Contrast because they were so used to using traditional paints. Now I think a lot of people have come around and seen how useful they can be. Much love from Minnesota!

Your videos looking at contrast all those months ago are what got me back into mini painting. Contrast over a zenithal is very much my go to these days - I’m not a hugely skilled painter and I don’t really have the time to spend a lot of time making my models look super pro, but I love a game with painted minis and contrast really helps with this.

Emil, you are so talented and I get so much inspiration from your art and your content. Thank you! ❤️

Awesome Video, thank you. I'm getting an Air Brush for X-mas and I've been picking up the contrast line once a week since October. So now I can't wait to apply some of these techniques.
