Paint Table Saturday 293th edition !

 Welcome to paint table 293 !

As usual I'll start with the finished projects of this week.

10 Moon-Clan Night-Goblins with bows :

Also as usual , I always hope on more finished models.... and that got me thinking...

But first , my first steps with Contrast paints.

Yesterday I posted some findings on contrast paint.

And today I'm going to add some more findings...

Color test 2 : In the pictures above I used different primers. From left to right : Gorax white , Gorax white with White Scar highlights drybrushed , Grey Seer and Wraithbone.

And here in the same order , all in the same contrast paint :Warp Lightning. The best result for me is the second one : Gorax White drybrushed with White Scar.

Test 3 : Some Abyssal Succubi from Manic Games.

The figure on the right is just contrast paint (Flesh Tearers Red ) and the figure on the left is the next step , drybrushed with Evil Sunz Scarlet.

WARNING ! Contrast paints are not a faster nor better way to paint miniatures. It does not mean you can't win some time , but it will not save you hours. ( Some claim to paint a miniature in 4 to 6 minutes = Bull-crap ! ! ! ) It's another way of painting that will level up like any other skill or technique you use to paint miniatures.

Second : Contrast paints leave white spots in cracks and other places and it needs to be corrected to get a good result. So far I only had white spots with the red and purple contrast paint. With the purple one to be the worst ( picture below ) , but a positive side : When careful , you can't see the corrections. 

On the left some Basilea troops from Mantic Games in Purple contrast paint ( Shyish purple ) , dry-brushed with Phoenician Purple and Genestealer Purple. You can see the white spots that need to be corrected.

And on the other pictures I started on a Seraphon Warrior. I tested another contrast paint on its skin : Creed Camo. Then drybrushed with Elysian green and some scale highlights with Moot Green and Warpstone Glow. The drum is also a contrast paint : Aggaros Dunes.

That's all for that subject for now...

Back to my ever growing want to paint more miniatures...

First off , I changed my paint table setting again. I moved all GW paint to the table ( including the new ones / all 66 ).

And I got a second Räskog for the rest of my paints from Armypainter , Vallejo , Scale75 and Green Stuff World.

I can hear you say , that will not increase your painting numbers. Perhaps , but it's not all I came up with...

A second idea , instead of one paint table ... I created 3 paint tables ( with protection box , warding off hairs from the doggy's )

 Now I can work on 3 x the miniatures as before... and when I don't feel one paint table , I just swap them and continue painting on another one.
