#UPDATE 4 - Contrast Paints
Now it was time to choose some colours for each faction, I went to “Let’s Get Gaming” YouTube channel as he has some great contrast/speed paint comparison videos.
After purchasing a selection of contrast paints, I still wanted to see what each colour looked like dried so grabbed a bunch of dropper bottles and primed the lids in white.
Next, I 3D printed off some basic stands for holding a funnel into the dropper bottles and proceeded to move the paints out of the Games Workshop bottles, the labels come off super easy and can be stuck onto the dropper bottles.
Once done, I painted each lid with the contrast paint from each bottle and now was able to truly see how each will look. Maybe a lot of work for not much gain but I enjoyed the process.
I decided on the colours for the Enlisted:
Contrast Basilicanum Grey
Contrast Gryph-Hound Orange
Contrast Gore-Grunta Fur (Wheels)
Abaddon Black then dry-brushed Leadbelcher (Cannons)
And for the Tech:
Contrast Aggaros Dunes
Contrast Apothecary White
Contrast Gutrippa Flesh (Eyes)
At this point I was running out of time to get these done, so I kept the paint schemes to a minimum. Later I may go back and add more detail in the future.
