The BEST way to use New Contrast Paints.

[@HellstormWargaming]

It's literally his job man. Have a day off.

[@ThePatrickBall]

I was going to buy some of the new contrast paints anyway, but, if anyone asks, I’ll tell them that I only bought them because of your amazing video because you’re Warhammer’s most influential influencer.

[@HellstormWargaming]

Very sponsorable what can I say??

[@DisturbedbyDeth]

Been almost exclusively painting my models with a combination of standard metallic paints and contrasts as well as shades - much faster way of painting which helps massively as I really don't have a huge amount of time for painting. Best tip I gained for contrast paints was to apply shade washes ontop. Gives so much more "pop" when you do that 🤘

[@matthewbiro9689]

I am the same. The metalics give the models a nice pop and extra dimension IMO. The only thing I do differently is to use my trusty BA red when thinned down as a glaze for my BA red process. I really like it because I think it gives the armour a richness and depth and you don't get from just using contrast and layer paints

[@southpaw5483]

Are you applying a Shade Wash on top of the Contrast paint? or Contrast Paint on top of the Shade Wash? cheers.

[@DisturbedbyDeth]

Fantastic video mate! Loved it

[@HellstormWargaming]

Thanks for watching mate. Yours have been fantastic!

[@jordanmckellar6737]

Awesome showcase! My hobby juices are flowing! Definitely investing in the yellow and a few others.

[@HellstormWargaming]

Let’s goooo

[@needlesbeckett]

I’m going to try dry brushing white over the black primer. Thank you for sharing 🥳👍

[@HarleyFirestorm]

I have been doing the same, pre shading with prime coats and using the contrast paints to give it a good base, but still using highlighting and washing. I don't know if you want a tip but when I do metallic stuff I always pre mix a 1:1 black and metallic colour as a base then layer metallic colour from a wet pallet before highlighting edge's, the dark base makes the end result look richer.

[@daingore]

I much prefer your method of Zenithal to the airbrush: I'm simply not enough of a gearhead/patient in that mechanical way.

[@Nukacola38]

Awesome review. Excited to get a hand on these

[@a1hamer]

Eccelent video . Opened my eyes .

[@simonfearn5944]

Dude, this is incredible! 👌

Great paint job on the archer figure.

love the disclaimer they did check vidoe xD

[@HellstormWargaming]

Don’t want people thinking it’s completely unbiased :)

[@danielrye1989able]

nice video, I will try some of this

[@HellstormWargaming]

Good luck!

[@AlexAttemptsTabletop]

Much enjoyment was taken from this video 👏🏼 I seem to find using contrast as a basecoat most the time then highlight over it etc Does speed up the painting process I find. Like I said, really liked this style of video & I look forward to more painting/little projects etc videos that you do in the future 🌟

[@leoSeu]

Excellent video! Just a quick comment on the antlers: You painted the antlers more dark towards the upper end. While horn tends to get darker towards the tip (look at drinking horns), antlers usually will get more light towards the points. As a hunter that bothered me a little bit :D Greetings from Germany!

[@mongoose6685]

11:48 The mini looks great! The only thing is the green scales of the quiver seem overworked: they looked better before your final highlight.

[@egnaroelprup]

nice elf, I'm sure georgie would be proud also I'm wondering how some of these heavy pigment ones and the frosty ones look on top of metallics, big fan of candy marines

[@HellstormWargaming]

Will give them a go!

Need to know that jam between 2:05 to 2:36..

[@logandahmm4157]

this channel has the best beats and sound effects lol

Share the airbrushing contrast video!

[@shawnsingh387]

Agreed let's see the airbrush video.

[@leiziru9642]

Yes

[@HellstormWargaming]

Yes pappi

[@victord3867]

What grey/white colors did you use in the dry brushing?

[@ultranecronmarine2295]

Would love to see that airbrush video!

[@LoftOfTheUniverse]

How'd you get that sharp stone basing?

[@hirmetrium1]

Would love to see the airbrush vid. I'm especially curious over kroxigor scales as a possible alpha legion colour

[@kfc6v9lot]

I always enjoy your painting videos Mikey great looking results that you make look really achieveble even for a pleb like me.

[@zakhunt]

Nice, would love to see the contrast through airbrush video :)

[@markhickson1066]

Enjoyed the video but would be more interested in how the new paints work through an airbrush.

[@logandahmm4157]

I love this channel, I need to know where you guys get your sound bites and music? especially starting at 2:06?

[@griffglowen5555]

Thanks for this. You said it looks more natural than a zenithal but isn’t this sort of drybrush underpainting basically the same as a zenithal?

[@HellstormWargaming]

Yes… but no. With zenethial, the ‘volume’ of white is concentrated at the top, the mid section of the model will look similar, but the upper parts that will be more ‘flat white’ rather than under painted with shadows as well will look different :)

[@jappmayo1220]

Would love to see the airbrushing vid!

[@wilddy88]

Really like the new contrats, the Model turned out great! What was the blue you used for the fur? Was that Stormfiend ?

I think it was nighthaunt gloom you know! The. Highlighted with a white :)

be good to see how you use these through an airbrush please and the process of doing so.

Blink thrice if there is a GW sleeper agent in your home.

Most of the footage is out of focus and hurts my brain :(

[@HellstormWargaming]

Only a little bit, I’m getting better - I could do with a monitor for my camera:(

[@kraziel]

All these youtubers just can't stop themselfs from saying it out loud they were invited to a "super secret VIP meeting with other so-very-special youtubers" from GW itself. Very important. It's so secret EVERY youtuber talks about it a few weeks later. Guaranteed. GW really knows how to manipulate these youtubers, they have them by the balls.

[@SheepWaveMeByeBye]

It's interesting to see how GW is grooming a new generation of youtubers. If you play nice with GW you get presents and early access to the new releases. Come publication day GW gets a lot of coverage from their chosen ones. Other youtuber painters have to wait a month for release day before they can buy, assemble, paint, edit & release a video that's already old news. It'll be interesting to see if YT mini painting will be a cesspool of toxic positivity in a few years. Everything points in that direction, have been that way for a while.

I watched this video, then my dog started humping my leg - not sure if it’s related?
