GTK Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Been in and out the hobby since Warhammer 5th edition.haven't played aos except for a few games before it had points.Played Warhammer from 5th until 7th when most of my armies got squatted.Played Mordeim only after that ,in fact I still play it with my kids.Quit painting as even with glasses black undercoat was hard to see.A friend suggested contrast paints and I've painted over 150 models since using them.I've lurked here for a couple of years and decided to start posting as there seems to be a lot of nice people here.I quit my old Warhammer forum site years ago during the RAW vs RAI battles as people seemed not so nice.Saw a few names on here from there so it's nice to see them still in the hobby.All in all it's nice to be back. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome! I'm in the same boat with black undercoat (even using a powerful lit magnifier or an adjustable arm), switched to white or yellow, and now white with contrast has saved my painting!

zilberfrid Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Another one for not liking black undercoats! Mid or light tones can easily be toned down, while opacity in basecoats is often a product of titanium white in the pigment mix already (so it shouldn't be much of a difference if the undercoat is light if you go for paints without titanium white, like washes or contrasts), and if you're using washes, those recesses shouldn't be a bother anyway.

GTK Posted July 5, 2021 Author Share Posted July 5, 2021 Thanks for the welcomes.I wish contrast paints had been out 10 years ago.Figure I'll have an army ready when my local store is open to gaming again.It's been a long time since 7th for me.
