zombicide green horde with Contrast Paints
some more colour
So I painted these guys using:
Warp lightning Contrast paint – for the skin
Snakbite leather – for the light brown
Cygor Brown – for the dark brown
Mournfang Brown (BASE) – for the belts.
Stormhost silver and then nuln oil wash – for the metallic silver
OK – so I cheated!!! I wanted to use all contrast paints to see what would happen, BUT… they don’t do a metallic so I had to go with a layer an then a wash to dull it down and, I needed the control to paint the belts so I went with a base paint.
Do I like the minis I have painted? NO. They look far too dark for my liking, and that’s even using a lighter green that the ORK FLESH. The contrast pools a lot creating very dark low lights and the colours bleed too much, it’s very difficult to keep control.
But, they are a horde, so once they are based and all together they might look ok.
