Techniques: Contrast Paints.

Published 2020-04-17
Contrast Paints are a really useful and versatile paint and can yield some great results. In this video, Duncan demonstrates some great techniques from getting started with Contrast paints, fine-lining and some easy blending techniques.

Please note: Use a STAINLESS STEEL or GLASS ball-bearing to mix your paint. (Thanks for the tip everybody)

    GW: contrast can be done with one coat. Duncan: 2 THIN COATS!
  • Hey guys, many of you have rightly pointed out that you should use a STAINLESS STEEL ball-bearing or even a GLASS bead. This is correct and good practice. A Mild Steel ball-bearing will eventually corrode and potentially ruin your pot of paint. Thank you all for the feedback and the continued support. On top of that, stay safe everyone 😊 - Dunc and Rog
  • Gw: turns off comments to they're videos. Duncan: Gets literally hundreds of positive comments and helpful suggestions from his fans and tries to reply where he can. Thank you for being you and helping us all perfect our two thin coat philosophy over the years.

    Now this almost sounds like WarhammerTV. The only difference is usage of AP brush. Oh, and comment section isn't closed!
  • @boddie.n_0339
    Duncan, thank you so much for showing the people how to actually use contrast!
  • @KokNoker
    When I finally get to leave the house, Duncan will be responsible for more of my GW purchases as his own entity than he was as a GW employee.

    "Say the line, Duncan!" "...Two Thin Coats." "Yaaaaaaaaay!"
  • And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou thin out thy Holy Paints. Then, shalt thou count to two. No more. No less. Two shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be two. Three shalt thou not count, nor either count thou one, excepting that thou then proceed to two. Four is right out. Once the number two, being the second number, be reached, then, lobbest thou thy Holy Paints of Duncan towards thy model, who, being not in My sight, shall have a nice even coverage."

    Duncan used to work in a GW in Derby before he went on to do all this, even then like 10 years ago you could tell he really loved what he was doing and always helped you out when you needed it. Nice to see him doing so well this far on. Keep it up mate!
  • @antroz321703
    I like how he’s showing that this paint is significantly more useful than it was marketed.
  • @robertcrowe8261
    God have missed this voice! You taught me so much in the early days- thank you
  • @pwrlol
    What a great guide, quick someone from GW should hire this guy! 😉
  • @jjtalas
    As a beginner, this is extremely useful. Thank you!
  • @daemonofdecay
    I love your work. It’s also nice to see Contrast paints moving away from being presented as a way of being able to do all the work on their own to becoming a useful tool when combined with other products and techniques
  • Something I noticed about the Warhammer Tutorials. We have tutorials for: Bloodthirster Lord of Change Great Unclean One And I think that’s it for the Chaos Greater Daemons. It’s not like we are keeping one a secret.
  • @mausolus8466
    As a bit clumsy person, I was looking to Contrast Paints as something to give me an edge over my clumsiness. Thank you for helping me to understand how to work with them properly, especially that even with Contrast Paints, rule of "Two thin coats" still stays.
  • @bettsdn
    Shading gold with the gulliaman flesh is a mega tip. Thanks!
  • @Enballgroda1
    Using contrast I’ve found them to be quite different and a bit more difficult than GW’s initial marketing suggested. This video helped a lot, especially with in regards to medium strength/weaker contrast.
  • @Trzeszcz
    Wow, now I know why I had so many problems with Contrast Paints compared to the classic ones, despite Contrast being the supposedly beginner-friendly variant. That bit about not going back to areas you've already covered and applying a second coat instead of just going with one (as officially advertised) was very important. Great video, as always!
