    Default Re: Warhammer 40K Tabletop Thread XXXVII: Highlighting the Contrasts

    I am someone who doesn't enjoy painting, and wish it was faster, and as a result often plays with grey plastic and/or black-spray-only. I am the (primary) target market for Contrast paints.

    For my Necrons my method, such as it is, is this:
    1) Spray black.
    2) Silver for most surfaces, leaving black exposed on the joints.
    3) Nuln Oil wash. To highlight the joints and silver bits.
    4) Red for "armour" (pauldrons mostly). This means Warriors only have red on the shoulders, while more important 'crons get more red. Hierarchy!
    5) Green for glowy bits (eyes, gun barrels, etc)
    6) Maybe some Agrax on the base if I feel like it. (That's the grey-rubble one, right?)

    So my question to the forum is: will Contrast paints in any way reduce my time/expense? They way I'm hearing things, it would let me condense 2) and 3) together perhaps?

    Remember, I don't care about quality at all.
