And many of the darker colours are rather flat and hardly create any highlights, like Dark Angels Green and Cygor Brown. Other colours are quite thin and feel more like washes, like Aethermatic Blue and Gryph-Charger Grey. Some colours do exactly what they are supposed to, like Blood Angels Red and Iyanden Yellow – base colour, shading and highlights with one coat.

I used Contrast glazes to shade my classic 2nd Edition Ultramarine, for example.īut we all know Contrast isn’t perfect. They’re also great for thinning into washes or glazes. But to save time on organic textures and smaller details like all those pouches and belts that won’t catch your attention, they are fantastic. I have to admit that Contrast has changed my painting quite a bit, even though I never actually use it for painting whole miniatures as advertised.
