Experimenting With Contrast Paints - Painting A Boingrot Bounder

[@travislankford9254]

This model and this video has probably been the first video to convince me to pick up a few contrast paints.

[@adamrowlands4074]

Glad you got invited to Warhammer World to play with the new paints Pete and I'm glad I've found your channel great stuff.

[@crazeh8]

I'm absolutely sold. What a superb example of the simple approach and good finish you can achieve.

[@keithrimer8415]

This is fantastic! I think this is the actual main benefit of contrast paints. Cutting down the steps on certain areas of a mini, then allowing you to go back and punch it up with added highlights. Great video!

[@adamjohn3839]

These series of using contrast paints are currently the best on youtube. Thanks!

[@conn8958]

Thanks dude. U have definitely the most informative videos on the new contrast paints. I especially liked the non metallic metal effects u did

[@Shaun.J.]

Maybe it's just that I can't see it in person but this looks great to me. It looks well above most people's, 'tabletop standard' IMO.

[@CrimsonTemplar2]

Looks good. The less stark zenithal highlight definitely helped.

[@matthewbohan7184]

At first I doubted the use of contrast paints but after seeing this I am fully on board with what they bring to the table in terms of painting.

[@StevenCarriere]

This looks like magic to me.

[@13Robzilla]

I believe GW is now calling this "Parade Ready." Great video, thank you.

[@madnes8313]

Damn... That's better than I do when I actually try hard... That contrast paint makes black look pretty good.

[@paulrist6609]

Brilliant information, thanks. I’ll definitely be trying these out for my Sylvaneth.

[@DarcyBonoCreations]

This was everything I needed to know about Contrast Paints. A perfect, no nonsense demonstration and awesome paintjob. Thank you so much for sharing this :)

[@Cadars]

I'm really suprised how good it looks, this is gonna be great for my d&d models for my group :)

[@johnkelley9877]

Another great tutorial on Contrast paints. Thanks for sharing this information.

[@commandermcnash5137]

Good to see GeeDubs showing off their research and development deparment.

[@Mohaniker]

Absolutely fantastic series of videos Pete, really informative and I'm enjoying your experimentation.

[@MentoliptusBanko]

Your contrast experiments are excellent! This video is the most valuable of them. Two ideas for some future experiment videos: - contrast paint on large surfaces (e.g. scenery like syvaneth wood or the new stormcast temples) - contrast paints over corax white spray (or any other old light primer)

[@tobiaskuhl7237]

You sir are responsible for me buying contrast paints and squigs for 400$ today. Thank you.

[@NotTheStinkyCheese]

Nice. Contrast for the basics and a bit of edge highlighting for a great tabletop standard mini.

[@thomasbailey4616]

Wow that looks amazing. The NMM is something I've never been able to pull off.

[@thejonsonator]

Very good video. Those paints work excellent. At the very least it does base coat and wash in 1 so what's not to like. Think I'll definitely give done of these a go.

[@NinaFoltmar]

These new paints seem like a great way to quickly finish alot of models and I like that its still possible to add a little extra to the finished result by using regular paints to highlight and such.

[@lorddyson6487]

Looks so good especially for the amount of work you put in! Might have to start a skeleton horde!

[@EternalQuestion]

Excellent. I'm looking forward to trying out these paints and I have the entire squig half of looncurse built up and ready to paint. Definitely going to try this method if the results are that good.

[@cypherdras]

These contrast paint vids are very helpful. They let me see how they will work before I buy them.

[@user-cl5hr3xw2g]

Ur really good at making good looking minis

[@michaelklos3933]

That's some good painting right there....

[@cliff7641]

Thanks for sharing these! I use a variation of the Midtone - to Bright Zenethal preshading already, as I'm painting bright bretonnians. Glad to see this is behaving about the way I would expect when you use that as your base!

[@LandOfAbundance]

I think this looks extremely good for the effort

[@daxthedestroyer9061]

Maybe a targeted dark wash to strengthen the shadows? I get you will not be saving as much time, but I would think it would look a lot better then doing the same without the contrast paint. I really do like the model and I am excited to get more done faster!

[@kimalbjerg6152]

Great video, good walkthrough with the combination techniques.

[@travisjohnson5206]

Thats awesome looks as good as a normal paint job thats good to see you used both techniques and it works out im a pretty good painter but dont have alot of time so i will be doing this for now on

[@kanecampbell773]

I wasn't sold on them because the finish on other videos just doesn't look good enough. With the standard edge highlighting the finish looks great. Looks like I'm picking up a set :) Thanks for the great vid

[@pmuk4]

great job amazing finish

[@bitzbox]

He looks great. I have a ton of squigs I still need to paint and will use contrast paints for them. Like yourself I will certainly add highlights too.

[@axeapm]

Good Gravey!! It goes on like magic!!

[@kensaiix]

no, just regular wash-consistency colors without white pigment inside. seriously, it's been around since ppl first used artists inks on their models.

[@PeteTheWargamer]

They really aren't the same as washes.

[@kensaiix]

​@@PeteTheWargamer ink is indeed the better term. low viscosity, highly pigmented, high surface tension, no white pigment.

[@tutubeater1]

can't wait to get my hands on the contrast paints which i pre-ordered the other day. i can finally paint all those night goblins that i've had sitting around for years with that black templar contrast paint. excellent review incorporating traditional layering techniques!

[@TheMeanDM]

Were you able to order them individually or did you have to so the "set" promo with the layer/contrast/base/etc...?

[@tutubeater1]

@@TheMeanDM it would've been nice if they had offered a set discount but i ended up pre-ordering them so that at least i got a 10% discount from my FLGS

[@SebastienBlaueCookieFan]

Thanks for the video. I consider myself a better than average painter, though by no means a master. I think this Contrast range is probably going to give us all a lot more options, looking forward to using some!

[@VoxFelis]

Love the squig.

[@Chen7500]

Very nice !! More contrast videos plz :)

[@Smilomaniac]

That turned out great. Since you've done most kinds of surfaces I suppose the only thing left is an intricate one. Although that ridgerunner you painted had vents, maybe something more shallow, like the side of an Armiger chassis with all the tiny cables and vents would be a better example. For something less pricey, maybe chainmail, though I would prefer to see the effect on sharp details. The idea would be to see just how dramatic the built in shade can be by itself.

[@PeninsulaPaintingProjects]

Looks decent. Was a wise choice letting you test these

[@istanor]

I came across this channel looking for contrast paint videos as I am a beginner painter with almost no free time so looking forward to paint more with this new product. I can only say: thanks for submitting this latest set of videos showing all the aspects of the contrast paints. Please keep these coming. May I suggest another video painting a Sylvaneth miniature from the Looncurse box? or a hammers of Sigmar Stormcast to see how we can use the contrast paint to paint the "gold" with a NMM yellow? Thanks!

[@Swooper86]

I really appreciate these videos, they give a pretty good feel for the contrast paints and how they can be used! One thing I'm curious about though, and would like to see you cover, is: How easy is it to do OSL with Contrast paints? They seem to behave a lot like thick glazes, so I think they might be fantastic for it.

[@dreadpiratedan]

the metals came out *beautifully*, super excited to get my hands on contrast paints now. given that contrast paints are only meant to be used over lighter undercoats meant i was afraid i'd have to re-undercoat all my metalic bits by hand, but i'll be more than happy if i can get all my ork boyz's weapons and armour plates to look like the metals you achieved here

[@rahmcgah5144]

Love the metal. Cant wait to try it on my lotr

[@Dimanti88]

These are going to be great for the horses for my Riders of Rohan and Gandalf the white.

[@GomJabbar9]

I'm now convinced!

[@jonathansmith3674]

Really useful video, thanks.

[@djoucla9734]

I really can't wait for contrast to be released and all the painting tutorials to come out of it. This might be the thing that would allow me to get my armies painted. I really want to see what can be done for plague marines and deathwatch.

[@whilehobbying]

Brilliant!

[@Blemmo]

I really like that, thanks for your work! Looking forward to future contrast paint tutorials :)

[@cyclone8974]

This.... this is awesome.

[@skraal1801]

Wow the highlights work wonder...Now this I call a great Model! That indeed looks like the "Future" 😱👍🏽

[@vbosch55]

You are doing a great job.

[@lukecampbell5341]

I'd like to see more coloured metallics, putting the contrast paints over metallic bases and seeing which colours work better than others and with which undercoats. That would be really beneficial to me.

[@TheGoldstriker]

Can you look at the various skin tone contrast paints and how they look?

[@stephanieamendola1401]

Wow ! You are a very good youtuber for the warhammer tutorial !

[@mattcappelli5822]

This is great. Very helpful! Would you be able to paint something like a stormcast model? I'd love to see how these would go over a suit of armor. Thanks!

[@PersianPersuasi0n]

Second this!

[@JEGranberg]

I like the experiment videos. I’d like to see how the contrast paints can be used on terrain or provide weathering or damage effects.

[@thehonestaspy102]

Fantastic looking model, honestly you have swayed me on contrast, I just have one question though, how did you paint inside the mouth and which colour did you use?

[@MrTheVOne]

The nnm looks pretty good

[@mikewebster5757]

Maybe a bit of a daft question but how does dry brushing with contrast paints work out?

[@del132]

Looks fantastic! But how did the wet blending work out in the end?

[@nathanleete9303]

Fantastic

[@cmdrblaster]

This model looks great, and I'm wondering what constrast would look like with other metallic colors like gold. Mainly since I have a Custodes army and I'm wondering how contrast would look with the range they're advetising.

[@TheMeanDM]

Say Pete, I would like to "challenge" you to use the new contrast paints to do a WH40k Tau suit (Crisis or Stealth, your choice). With so many flat surfaces, I would be *very* interested in seeing how you would tackle it. Your video about the underlying Leadbelcher has me thinking that a metallic/contrast Tau suit could look VERY sexy. Hope you see this and undertake this!

[@Leopaints222]

Omg, that metal is just too good for the amount of time you expend on it

[@Ilostmycactus]

Have you used the new sprays/their pots (wraithbone etc). How thick are they? Would they cover well over black primer? Are they actually primers or do they still need a primer first?

[@Mr_Secondaries]

I find that the contrast paints, once you learn how to use them, are a great way to speed up the whole painting process in general and come out with some really nice looking models. However, if you want to take them to the next level, you can also add additional layer paints on top of them, doing more highlights, adding in more shadows, etc. and they look just as good as if you did the whole thing the traditional method. I think the contrast paints are worth the investment, but they do require some getting use to using, similar to when washes were first introduced.

[@robinrosendahl7586]

How does it look if you prime a mini white, do a black wash and then drybrush white before applying contrast? Really curious on how either awesome or horrible that would look.

[@te9591]

Neat model; makes me wonder if Games Workshop might make a model that connects two squigs together with leather and rope that makes them be a 4 legged mount?

[@Trazynn]

Contrast paints seem to nudge the painter more towards brighter models. Which is great. Dark models often get murky in the context of an entire army.

[@FearlessGlitch]

Let's say I want to paint black space marines. Would contrast paints be an option for that?

[@TheKarebarez]

Love the basic NMM, any chance of doing a video on how to do it with Contrast and or normal paint. love the cartoon look.

[@advancetomayfair]

Awesome! Super Nice work! Also what colours did U use for mushroom stem? I don't think you said in vid? Cheers

[@goldy7514]

I actually really like the NMM effect it gives. its a bit cartoony but I think that fits these squig hoppers perfectly anyway. Great video. im enjoying your discord server

[@ConstableGrey]

Have you had a chance to try a mostly black model? I've got a bunch of Deathwatch, and "proper" black is more difficult than it would seem.

[@realitybytes16]

Dude I am loving these videos. Definitely saving up for these paints.

[@craigstewart8069]

I'm thinking of picking up some contrast paints to bash out a drukhari red grief wyches force. I'd love to see a tutorial video. KZbin is severely lacking in drukhari painting videos compared to other armies.

[@incinirator]

Thanks a billion for this tutorial I've been looking for the effects of these colors precisely because of my 40k Orks and AoS Gloom Gitz. I tend to prefer the pale ork skin like goblins tend to have so I wasn't sure if I wanted to use the Ork Skin green they made. All I need to see now demonstrated is Nazdreg Yellow compared to Iyanden Yellow for my Badmoon Boyz :P

[@brence1984]

I mostly wonder how Contrast works on detailing, is the effect apply-able with a small detail brush as not to overspil? Also working on detailed little areas would you suggest to hit them with paint first? As the larger areas (like the teeth themselves) have more,easier surface to work with?

[@JayDe10110]

this is the big question i've been waiting to see - how does highlighting with layer paints work on contrast paints, great video nice and short to-the-point. thanks.

[@Ap0th1x]

Can you do some videos of painting ASOIAF miniatures using the contrast paints?

[@chidaddywbz]

I would absolutely love to see a black templar scheme used with contrast paints. seems weird considering how its simply white/black with red but I am curious how much it decreases the amount of time it takes to highlight!

[@Pariah502]

i dont know how people can just call this a tabletop standard. the effect of Basilicanum Grey as a NMM is absurdly good! That's something I couldn't think of replicating with metallics right now

[@lastspruestanding]

I do like the effect of the silvery non metallic have you tried a non metallic gold or bronze yet with the contrast paints ?

[@HeadCannonPrime]

I think these might convince me to finally paint my tyranid army

[@PeteTheWargamer]

They're perfect for Tyranids.

[@paintingcas2556]

Really awesome 😍 I would love to see a video how you create dark skin with contrast👍

[@napalmmachete]

Great experiment videos. Could you look into how contrast paints look over regular basecoats/coloured primers? would it give a faux two-tone effect as the base colour shows through on the higher areas? could be used for the green/blue armour of alpha legion

[@yoyoyo9669]

amazing!

[@crafouingeth6805]

Hello, sorry for my bad English. which sub-layer did you use?

[@eddtheducky]

Did you use pink horror or screamer pink to highlight the pink contrast paint? The caption shows screamer pink when you say pink horror.

[@rafalbronowski8124]

wow that is great stuff here ..thanks

[@leelindley602]

Please do a traditional plague marine with contrast paints! :)

[@Vrooten]

I'd like to see you do some more blending and subtle layering with the contrast paints. Black eyes, five o clock shadows, reddened areas of skin etc. I'm hoping to do a realistic-ish (less green, more diseased looking!) paint scheme on some nurgle stuff, would like to see if these paints are an option!

[@PeteTheWargamer]

Nice idea, thanks for the suggestion!

[@michaelcastro7154]

I know you probably have a ton of requests, but could you paint a melusai from DoK with contrast paints please? Love this video by the way, used it to paint my squiq hoppers and they look amazing

[@superspecky4eyes]

Slightly unrelated note but how do you paint the details on the inside of the squigs mouth? Do you just go for it then tidy up any mess later?
