Contrast Painting - War of the Roses Horsemen

Short breakdown of the method I use for applying the new GW contrast paints to historical War of the Roses models.

[@7thson726]

Haha nive one, glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@philRminiatures]

[@7thson726]

Cheers😀

[@theenigmaticgamer]

Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@7thson726]

Thanks mate 👍😀

[@ProbableKoz]

Thanks for the video man. I’ve been going whole hog with Contrast paints and I’ve been avoiding my horses till the very end. But I think you’ve inspired me to bump them up in the backlog.

[@7thson726]

Thanks, nice one 😀

[@hipthruster7949]

Great video thank you. Just bought some contrast paints today so looking forward to giving them a go now I've seen how good yours have come out. ☺

[@7thson726]

Thanks, I'm really pleased with these, looking forward to seeing what results other people get as well ☺

Mine (Freeguild horsemen from Games Workshop AoS) are going to paint this afternoon. Thanks fir the inspiration.

[@7thson726]

Your welcome, glad its been of some help 👍😁

Like yourself I love cavalry... but hate painting horses so seeing you do this really helped. I am just waiting for some more horses, thought I should use the Seer rattle can ...blimey thats good stuff without the nasty smell of the Tamiya primer.

Good video mate 👍

[@7thson726]

Cheers fella

Love this! Thank you. Im painting in 15mm, and 100 horses will go a lot faster with contrast. Question, how would you go about painting the chainmail with contrast?

[@7thson726]

Thays awesome, it really does help. For chainmail i base it with a darker silver like GW's leadbeltcher then use the contrast Basilicanum Grey over all of it. Ive done a video on the contrasts over different armour coats, sometimes i use gore grunta fur for a burnished chainmail 👍

[@johntailby74]

Nice video, definitely not rubbish. There are a few blotchy patches on the larger areas, but that could be fixed by watching as the paint dries and removing the pooling.

[@7thson726]

Cheers, will be trying another one soon, potentially on the basing. The blotchy patches are easily removed if you catch them as you say :)

[@snackelwolf4462]

fantastic video man -- nice work! I'm not as fast as you with a precise brush, but this is exactly what I need to get cracking on my Song of Ice and Fire Targaryen. Tell me, what did you do for the horses eyes, however? Cheers from California.

[@7thson726]

Thanks 👍 sorry for the slow reply, i use corax white for the horse eyes as its ever so slightly just off white then i either use a black fine liner for the pupil or just a thin line with a fine brush 👍😀

[@francoantonelli7723]

Good vid dude...

[@malcolmrose3361]

So have you timed yourself using regular paints and something like Agrax Earthshade? It seems to me that they are a useful tool for some situations but that's about the best that can be said for them.
