This looks fantastic. So I had a go. My first attempt has failed. I did use Black Templar and I probably thinned it too much. I also went a little heavy with the dry-brushing so I had a fairly blue-grey model. This combined with the too thin Black Templar forced me into a second coat. The result was a black miniature with no highlight / definition. Oh well, try again!

@Nakai_the_Wanderer 9 ай бұрын

I tried it today on two intercessors but on the first one the dry brush with Thunderhawk Blue was a bit too heavy I think, so the 1:1 mix of Black Lotus and Xpress medium just didnt cover it enough. It ended up a bit too bright for my taste. I did some lighter drybrushing on the second Intercessor and mixed 1,5 parts Black Lotus with 1 part medium, which looked alot better for my taste. I will try another one with Black Templar Contrast because I feel like the Xpress paint has a slightly thicker consistency which feels awkeward to work with on flat surfaces. I will eventually have to do 5 of each speed paint colour and see if I can manage to get even results accross multiple miniatures, or if the results vary too much between models. The best thing about the Xpress paint is the very matte finish and whenever its pooling a bit too much, its not a big deal because it dries very evenly. Contrast on the other hand will get an even more shiny finish in areas where it pooled too much. Sadly drybrushing is no exact science in my opinion, there is always the element of surprise :D Thats the only downside of this method: my poor drybrushing skills ;-)

@JuanHidalgoMiniatures 9 ай бұрын

Well, drybrushing is indeed an apparently simple technique that is anything but simple. The better you are at it, the better results you will get using this method. As for the Xpress Vs Contrast, the Xpress might seem trickier to apply over flat surfaces but it smooths out DO MUCH BETTER than anything else that the final result will be better. Feel free to experiment though

I’ve just tried out this method, but I feel like black lotus looks very green. It doesn’t look like that in the video at all. The transparency is just right, but it should be bluish or neutral in tone imo. Tried out using black Templar, leviadon blue and contrast medium mix on the next model, but will have to redo it. I need way more contrast medium for the contrast paints. I also probably should’ve tried just black Templar without the blue.
