I set myself the challenge to paint the remaining five Corvus Belli Infinity miniatures from the new release pack in a single sitting. I used contrast paints and added some black lining and highlights. While I ended up working on the models a bit longer than expected, I still managed to finish them in a single afternoon and I am quite happy with how they turned out.

Hey all! Do you guys prefer contrast for your infinity minies, or do you like to go all out with normal acrylics? ( maybe oils? :) ) Would you like to see similar content on the channel, or do you enjoy the more complex paintjobs more?

@scytheme Жыл бұрын

Yes, please! More Infinity and more techniques ;) . And I have also done pretty much everything :P Contrast, normal acrylics and most of my Ariadna in Oils. It's not for the showcase, but looks top notch from 6ft away haha

More of anything is good. There's not a lot of Infinity painting videos out there. I use mostly contrast/xpress paints/inks on all my minis, including my Infinity stuff. There's also some steps you can take to take your undershading to another level including a black wash and a drybrush of white/off-white or just drybrushing pure white over the zenithal which is what I've come to prefer on my Infinity stuff.

Just found your channel. I use contrast over a zenithal primer as a base but than add highlights with normal acrylics.

You're doing a real service for the infinity community by having well instructed and accessible paint tutorials when there is a severe lack of content for these minis. Great work. Keep it up!

Thank you 😊 It is really good to hear that people like you actually enjoy the videos.

For metallic I put a silver undercoat and then contrast over the top, it opens up a lot of possibilities with different effects that would otherwise be hard to achieve.

Awesome! I contrast all my infinity minis. Recently tried the "slap chop" method (stupid name), it worked really well!

These look great, Infinity models have always intimidated me, I will give this a try and see if it leads me into the game.

They are much less intimidating than they look :D I am sure you will have a lot of fun painting and playing them!

This video has been super helpful. I have found it surprisingly difficult to find painting channels that cover infinity models. Subbed!

@@ph3lansminiatures After watching I actually picked up the brush again for the first time in a while. Tbh the Box art on Infinity kits is really intimidating to me as I'm just not that great of a painter. I spent the last days working my way through the Ariadna part of the Operation Crimson Stone box set and am sort of happy with the result. I was really struggling on the white metal armor on some of the units (especially the Volkolak) because there isn't really a good color in the contrast range for that. Do you have any recommendations with regard to colors for this?

@ph3lansminiatures Жыл бұрын

It is awesome to hear that you started painting after watching :D as for the white, if you are looking for a way to use contrast you can try what I did in this video. Basically use apothecary white contrast above a bright zentlithal highlight. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nLaClMR4sNe7nX0.html If you are willing to try something more complex, you can start with a medium grey and then work yourself up to an almost white ( Ivory or a very bright grey). Just try to avoid pure white except maybe for edge highlights 😉 good luck!

I prefer army painter speed paint, but this type of paint is tabletop standard made easy.

Great video and I dig your fast results - but personally I can't stand the finish from contrast/speed paints 😅 I would rather spend a bit more time working on them using traditional methods so I'm not cringing every time I put the models on the table haha

These look great for being a fast paint job, the nmm effect turned out pretty decent for basically only using contrast paints. I myself still cannot bring myself to paint at anything other than my highest standard, which is part of the reason I play kill team / infinity instead of 40k

@ph3lansminiatures Жыл бұрын

Hey Steven! Yep, that's how I tend to think about it as well. But I wanted to see what I can do with Contrast since I haven't tried it on infinity models yet. Plus, I assume that a lot of people are interested in it and thought it would be a good idea to see if there is interest on the channel for content about it.

@StevenJohnson108 Жыл бұрын

@@ph3lansminiatures I think it makes sense to offer both kinds of content for sure. Maybe you'll be convincing me to try a more fast contrast approach on some of my unpainted Kill Teams!

@ph3lansminiatures Жыл бұрын

It is a great way to make a dent in your pile of shame :D Plus, the contrast paints are super useful for things that they were not intended for. I use them instead of inks through the airbrush for example.
