This has the been the single most useful review of the Contrast Paints. Thanks Mike.
Thanks for the kind words: D
I'd like to see the same type of testing with the Wraithbone primer.
I've tried out some of the paints in my local Warhammer Store and found some work better over Wraithbone than Greyseer.
Some of the Contrasts do seem to be designed to work over other paints than the 2 stock primers. I've tried some of the greens over Retributor Gold, and found a few interesting things.
@@garygcrook every other Contrast video in my channel is over wraithbone, fyi - so hopefully that helps a bit :) I didn't have enough bits to do both without it just looking like a mishmash of random parts.
@@Epicduck Well you could always make reference to others' Contrast comparisons, like Warhammer Chelmsford's, yet with your own opinions and takes on it based off your own experience with the paints.
facebook.com/WarhammerChelmsford/posts/2296142703797033
Even if all you said was 'it seems to work better over Wraithbone from what I've seen elsewhere.' I think that would be brilliant.
"Works better" is very subjective though. Shyish over Wraithbone has slightly pink highlights, while over Greyseer it has almost grey-blue highlights. Which is "better" depends entirely on what you're painting, and your personal preferences. I don't feel qualified making that judgement call for other people :)
Finally! a video comparing paints in this range and not spending 10 minutes talking about what Contrast is/isn't or talking about the hype. this is what I needed to make a purchase decision- thank you!
I'm going to do some "how to get the most out of your Contrast paints" style follow ups. I really slapped these swatches together quickly because I only had access to the full line of paints for 2 nights. But yeah, I'm not trying to make clickbaity hype or diss videos, I just like giving people good information and painting fun stuff :)
such a helpful video!
@@Epicduck u tube should promote this video, so u can get more views
Video still holds up! And the comment especially 😂
The most useful contrast paint overview I've found. Thanks for going through the range!
+1 A Tinnis agree with u!
I've found contrast paints have really gotten me into painting as i'm super lazy. This video is fantastic though the best overview of the range on the internet.
hands down best contrast review and most coherent and least waste of my time, thank you !
This has been one of the most useful videos on all of RUclips. I find myself coming back to this time and time again.
Time and time again I come back to this video to see what particular contrast paints are like, thank you very much
Back again to look at the greens 😁
I kniw this comes many years later but thank you the video. I have a vision impairment and getting vack inyyo the hobby has been extremely difficult but seeing side by side comparisons really helped. Especially the reds. Cheers!
srsly the best review i have seen from an existing painters point of view. Thank you soooo much!
A year later and I still use this. Thanks a bunch.
Thanks for taking the time to do this vid Duck. It's helped me loads!
You're very welcome :D
This was the single most useful video I've found to start dipping my toes into contrast paints. Perfectly clear and thorough. Thank you!
ETA: Looking through the comments, I realized I've parroted with many other people have already said. Comment still stands! Kudos to you!
By far the single most BEST video on the contrast paints so far. So glad income across this before heading to the FLGS today! Thank you for making this!
Thank you!!
This is going in my saved videos list. Most helpful and insightful contrast comparison yet.
Thanks a bunch for taking the time to do this, I now know what to buy when I visit GW in Milton Keynes on Saturday. Have a sub.
Best review I've seen of these, seems I purchased a number of essentially duplicate shades, away to change my order now. Thank you.
Great video but I also woud have liked a comparison with wraith bone vs grey seer base.
Soon as he gets more pulse rifles lolol
@@ramza813 just use the same ones?
Skip em both, and find somewhere you can get Montana 94 who have 120 colours, dries more matte than GW or Army Painter and costs a quarter of the price, while being better (not the American "montana paints" but the Spanish one) just make sure it's the 94 formula, their other formulas do not work for miniatures. Their yellow sprays made Iyanden a breeze.
Very Useful/ professional. Best review of these paints I’ve seen. Well Done.
I have watched at minimum 10 videos on the new Contrast Paints. And this has been absolutely the perfect example of the use of the contrast paints. As a very newby painter. I am sold on the line and from your preview I can see what I want to purchase and exactly how I will use them. And your examples of where to use them is purely perfect. Well Done.
GREAT video! Thankyou thankyou thankyou!
Btw you should publish a really good picture of all your tiles. That would be super useful 😊
I'm not sure if it's "really good", but here's the photo of them chips before the fronts were labelled (there is a legend in the second photo)
I'll try to get around to updating that Album with a new photo soon.

Gorge grunta fur looks like it would be good for tau sept, it seems more orange
GREAT VIDEO 10/10!
This video had some great value in it. Thank you! I bought black templar, wyldwood and the orange one. Wish me luck.
use cygor brown on a real white undercoat. that works wonders for the contrast and it looks really good. like a really dark but pronounced leather
Best Contrast paint review I have seen. I can see quite a lot of colours that will be useful for me, many of the ones that are of less use to you. :)
FINALLY a video showing side by side outcomes grouped by color families resulting in actionable intel that can be used when electing paints!! The most useful resource on contrast paints by a factor of 10!!!
Suggestion:
Please consider doing the exact same video painting over Wraithbone. Then compare the Wraithbone outcomes to Gray Seer for the definitive resource in color comparison.
Exactly the review I was looking for! 😎
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, as well as the time and effort put into the presentation.
Appreciate your including samples with existing shades for comparison.👍🏻
Obviously, I subscribed!
i would've put nazdreg yellow on the list as some people have demonstrated really nice NMM gold effects with it.
I agree with the last few comments, this is the best review on the contrast paints and how they actually look when painted on a model, thanks it has helped me pick the colors I want to get
Thank you for making this video! I will probably reference this video many times in the future. This is the most useful video on contrast paints yet!
This video helped me figure out what contrast paints I am going to purchase to get my Perry ACW minis painted.
Awesome :D
This is by far the best, most useful video I have seen regarding the Contrast paint line. Thank you!!!
Still coming back to this - thanks, a very useful resource, especially given (for me at least) I can't easily tell what colour these things are going to end up.
The Aethermatic Blue is probably my favorite of them all as it's the exact effect I want for various winged miniatures like Celestine or AoS Prosecutors. SLIGHTLY blue, but still very clearly white.
Thanks for that. I had already grabbed a few of the suggestions and you have given me a good basis of what to grab next.
Thanks so much for biting the bullet and making this! It’s super helpful, I would say much more helpful than just the images of each paint applied to a base, that I saw on reddit.
Big 👍to the thought and effort you put into making this video. For someone like myself who hasn't yet purchased any contrast paints, your observations and advice will definitely save me time AND money. Subscribed!
I'll just reinforce the point made in the video, but with a little added punch: if you DO have lots of skeletons, skulls, or bones, you WANT to get the Skeleton Horde contrast paint. Prime white, hit it with the paint and you have exactly what you want w/out having to use a base, a layer, and a shade. And the result will be uniform.
I knocked out over 80 Ossiarch Bonereapers using Skeleton Horde, topped with a little bit of drybrushing. Saved me HOURS.
Best Contrast review so far. Thanks a lot, really helped me :)
Great video, definitely the most helpful overview to date... Although... ;)
You should do a follow up doing the same test over the wraith bone primer (although that's a double the bits problem :) As it does make a surprising difference to colors. That change between a warm and cool base makes a difference in the lighter colors especially, whites, flesh, blues... As that slight shift from cool warm will change the lighter area of a contrast especially.
And... As a day 1 pick list, you should still have a yellow. I know you covered the whys and why not of the yellow... But it was dependant on owning a shade if not...
So when arranging a general buy pick list, I would still say a yellow is a must... If you don't have the shade ;)
Just my thought when i saw the flesh colours, that it should be more difference in them if the base would have been wraith bone. :)
big props! I ordered few you liked and few you didn't... But that doesn't matter, what matters is, this video is the best comparison I've seen.
great video ! this will help a lot with my initial purchase , and what can wait till my next purchase .
Plaguebearer Flesh will be awesome for people with Zombicide or other zombie games , perfect skin colour !
REALLY this is a very helpful piece of information, really appreciate ur hard work and kindness for sharing this amazing video!
Thank you :D
A great way to see the differences .... wish I had seen this before I ordered. Everyone take note 😉
Hey thanks man for showing off all the different colors and helping me choose which ones to avoid and which ones I really really want. Alot of youtubers just show themselves using the paints. Which is useful. And there was one guy that had a tip to us a sponge to use contrast paints on largest flat surfaces(he used a tank in his example).
This is by far the most useful review ever, straight to the point and very informational.
My wallet salutes you!
For gaurd, I found that army painter skeleton bone spray + skeleton horde contrast = wraithbone & aggaros dunes but $5 less. It also is nearly identical in result but two steps less in process to the grey prime + zhandri dust + drybrush + wash process I have been using after seeing on Sonic sledgehammer. I really appreciate this in depth comparison, nobody else has put this much effort into this yet. Thank you!
Apothecary White is also a must for Mixing Contrast paints and during highlights/blending.
Sweet video, thank you. I've been using contrast paints as my base coat over a zenithal prime for about a year now, then I usually do a few stages of dry brushing. It's nice to see a video talking about and discussing the whole line.
Thanks so much for the breakdown on Cygor Brown. I am strapped right now and need to choose either Cygor or Wyldwood and at a glance in every example I have seen, Cygor seems to basically do nothing.
Dark Angels Green seems like the archetypal 'fantasy forest cloak' color. I'd say their iconic color comes from the edge highlighting, more so than just a dark green armor.
Unless I was going to paint an Ork, or other organic/non-armored army, I don't see myself picking any of these up just yet.
I am coming here to let you know that I am looking forward for a similar review for the new contrast and shade line 😀 Keep the good work
This is the contrast video I was waiting for. Thank you.
No problem :D thanks for watching!
I think this review is better than the two others I watched because the comments are more in depth. I especially liked the comment about the surface tension of the paint. What I missed was watching him apply the paint and seeing how it flowed. Since the other reviewers did paint on camera it is not a great loss. Another reviewer mixed the contrast paint with the normal medium which appeared to break the surface tension a bit, but not enough for my taste. I think my use for this type of paint will be to paint ghosts and perhaps fur or bark, but never armor.
Thank you so much for this video. Extremely detailed and very much appreciated. Saving me a lot of money!
I’m just getting into painting minis. This video has been very helpful in giving a great rundown of colors and effects. I want an easy setup to get my minis table ready, and these paints seem to be the answer. Thanks for the content.
I’m painting space marines and ships for a Star Wars game, and I’ve bought:
Basilicanum Grey
Black Templar
Ultramarines Blue
Talasar Blue
Snakebite Leather
Blood Angels Red
Nazgred Yellow
Orc Flesh
Nuln Oil
Agrax Earthshade
It might have overlap with some of the color choices, but I felt there was some good option for color effects.
This was really an excellent video even for someone that obviously wasn't the intended audience (I'm somewhere on a loooong journey learning from mainly Lenz, Venturella, Wappel and DiPietro). I've already got own initial pick list of standouts IMO and was just trying to learn about the hue and saturation of those I don't have to see if I wanted to add any. Probably going to grab talassar blue and maybe snake bite leather and one of the military greens - probably the yellow leaning one as I can mix the other one easier with the dark angels tone already. I think its amusing that my pick list only shares space wolves gray (which honestly is absolute favorite in the whole line as a way to lay down a quick initial sketch of starting volumes to work from on nmm jobs!). It just goes to show you there are absolute no wrong ways to approach your hobby and so much diversity. I can't help but love it. Liked and subbed!
My personal pick list is:
Space Wolves Gray
Aggaros Dunes
Iyanden Yellow
Arkhelian Green (which I weirdly find to be a very very blue color with only a bit of green in it...somewhere between blue and turq.)
Dark Angels Green
Flesh Tearers Red
Gryph Hound Orange (both this and the Iyanden Yellow are such strong colors and thats not so common with yellows and oranges)
Fyreslayer Flesh
Volpus Pink
Skeleton Horde
I do like the apothecary white but really only use it to mix for tints and it separates so so badly that I can't fully recommend it.
I really think however many years down the road now it is that Citadel knocked this range out of the park. I wish they were cheaper and in droppers but other than that a fantastically useful tool for the hobby tool belt. Absolutely not just a product for novices or quick table top jobs - any one of any skill level can use these in a lot of ways to great effect. Wappel has used them from time to time much like he would oil paints to lay down a fast and furious messy base coat before he does all the good stuff on top of it. They're also arguably better at colorizing metals than products made specifically for that purpose from Scale 75 and Badger.
Traffic cone orange would have been an awesome name. :D
Thanks for the video!
I have to say you've really undervalued Basilicanum Grey. It has replaced Nuln Oil in my paints box. Magos Purple is another one that I have found a hundred uses for. It started out as the flesh color for my Daemonettes, but then I also found uses for it as a bruise color for my Death Guard and a rich Cabernet undertone for a lot of my purples. Good initial review, though.
Clear and simple, the best review I found by far. THANK YOU Mike! Liked and subscribed!
Awesome and very useful video! For me contrast paints are for easy flesh/skin contrast, not for armours or weapons.
Definitely a great review! By far the best video around in helping make a purchase.
Thanks for this video! Super helpful. IMO Reikland looks even better than Guilliman in terms of smoothness (10:51).
I'm honestly not a fan of any of the Contrast flesh tones.... for flesh. They work *great* on things like metallic golds though :D
Nice!! I've subscribed because of this video. Very helpful. Thanks dude
By far the best content for the contrast paints on youtube right? I've subbed too!
A very useful video. Very informative. Thank you very much for making and posting this video. 👍🏼
I loved how you included all the paints. Now i have a good view about what contrasts i personally need. Tho i would include volupus pink and magos purple (bc they really work well together in making something mouth like )
Keep up the videos!
As a person who plays death in AOS, I've found that Athermatic blue is actually really useful. I tend to do a lot of different glowing effects on my models, using different types to break up things so my nighthaunt don't look all the same. I can't say how useful it's been in speeding up the painting of my nighthaunt. I like using it on the skull heads and arms of things like chainrasps and grimghasts.
My Eldar are a dark purple with bright yellow highlights and designs on it. Thus Shyish being so dark works perfectly for me. I can always drybrush a highlight to the edges as needed.
Really appreciate the comparison with existing shades. Has helped me shake the completist urge to buy them all. Swatches could’ve been larger in the frame to help us see them more clearly.
If I zoom in any closer they go out of focus :P
I’m just getting back into the hobby and wanted to get some paints and this has been a thoroughly informative video for that purpose. Thank you.
As I am colour blind, this is so bloody useful. Thank you!
Excellent comparison and very helpful. One area that you didn't really touch on is using some of these colors for historical figures where some of the "marginal" colors could be used.
I wasnt sold on these until i saw the apoth white. Now thats a tau painters dream.
Thanks for the comparisons, I am getting into painting and these are catching my eye. Given their 'special' properties it's hard to tell from the pot what they'll look like
I found this extremely helpful. Thank you for doing it!
Nice one. Been looking for a comparison like this.
Gryph Hound Orange: I immediately think of a light touch rust effect.
How ironic, these paints were supposed to be used differently, but the community will always be creative. All I see are people who found a new "technical" way to apply these to get some incredible results, not just slap them on a bright Primer. Chitin Armour is my favourite combo: Retributor Armor Basecoat slapped with a thick layer of a darker Contrast, it looks like an organic Chitin you'd see on beetles!
Thanks for this review, it really is helping me to make a decision if I should buy or not the paints :)
Now that contrast paints have been out for a few weeks and I've had a chance to work with them I use them mainly for a glazes now. Mixing them with the medium about 50 50 and putting over a coat of whatever color produces some amazing results. Barely any edge highlighting needed and I'm real happy with the results. It's my new reverse wash method basically. Some colors I still use from the pot but colors like warp lighting green and telessar blue have great effects over bright vivid colors
I use the grays/black/yellows for NMM on infinity models. Super easy, barely an inconvenience.
Thinking about getting my hands on some of these and this video was by far the best and helping me decide 👍🏼
If you haven't put skeleton horde over a silver base you really should try it out, it tints the metal in a really natural weathered look that makes it look old but not necessarily dirty or grimey
Dark angels green would work well for larger ork nobs and traditionally orks get darker as they get bigger
Yeah this is something that annoys me about the newer Ork box art. For some reason they give older Orks a lighter skin tone
Me too, I still paint em dark. Warbosses I start black and work the green up. Elysian green is probably the lightest I'd go
Amazing breakdown, thank you for this. Very helpful, specially the visuals and your ideas for uses.
I would definitely use Gore Grunta Fur along with Snakebite Leather for variation in straps and bags.
Whilst you are looking at the paints for GW miniatures i was looking to use them for historical minis ... very very interesting stuff.
Ps if you have seraphim sepia, don't get skeleton horde, even if you are gonna paint a lot of bone, it's essentially the same
Brilliant review. Rather than just glowing praise or venomous hate gives a very good colour by colour breakdown making deciding which to try less hit and miss.
I like this video. It’s well made, and great for learning the colors. I do think after using these paints for awhile that the full ability of these wasn’t unlocked in these earlier reactions. Some of these that you passed on I’ve been using in combination with Vallejo and P3 and Citadel regular paints to do some pretty sweet things. Great video. I truly believe after a longer time using these that they are more of a tool in the sense Lahmian medium and Ardcoat, and washes are a tool. Using them by themselves is fine but they will most likely grow with the artist if practiced with and used. With this I’m not sure any of them are a straight pass. And while awesome they don’t need to be in a lineup either. They are very interesting and I’ve grown to really like them.
The best contrast video of all youtube.
Magos Purple looks like the ideal contrast for those tiny lil purity seals.
Late to the party on this, but just wanted to let you know this great video is still doing solid work 😊 thanks!
Magos Purple worked super well for my deamon skin.
I used a stong beige basecoat and the restult was the perfect grey skin with purple tint that i was looking for.
But man do you need to watch out for pooling with these...
Best video to date that I've seen looking at the contrast paints. Definitely gunna get me some Ork flesh for my Orks (funny that) and possibly some of that Darkoath for when I get round to working on my guard army.
Great Review,very useful,thank you!i've bought the entire range to make my own thought.I love the idea behind Contrast but some color seems weak.I hope GW can adjust their consistency or pigmentation ration.
Thanks for this review - it really shows which of the paints will be usefull and those that are a no starter - Appreciated deeply..... 🍻🍻🍻🍻✔✔✔✔
I found out that Fyreslayer Flesh on top of grey primer (I'm using badger airbrush stuff) comes out with a nice tone for Africans. I think some of these contrast paints can pull double duty depending on what is used for the base layer.
Changing up the undercoat is going to be a great way to get more mileage out of these... we're still looking at the tip of the iceberg.
Aethermatic blue might actually work really nicely for my tree-revenants! Thanks!
I just bought 10 contrast paints mostly the same as yours not a great painter so it has inspired me
Really good comparison I will pick up some contrast medium thanks😀
Aethermatic Blue seems like it could be great as a base for Plasma, and then you can edge highlight for you main color (purple, green, etc).
Very nice commentary on each individual paint. Given that each Contrast pot is almost $9 after tax, I wouldn't want to pick up a color that I would probably use 3 or 4 times.
That's the ticket. I only had access to the full set for one night, so I hammered these out for my own reference. My initial purchase was 10 paints, the 3 new basecoats, and Contrast Medium. Oddly, not the exact 10 I picked here, because a few colours were already out of stock ;)
