Have been 25 years out of the hobby and finally got around to sticking my foot back into the water yesterday. The efforts I made with a few minis were...bad - but I learned some things. I did however have more success with some basing for them and I'm rather pleased with how I did
In that case I’m precisely the wrong person to ask about contrast paints. I think the slapchop kind of creates more work than it solves. There’s a pretty good Duncan Rhodes side by side video of contrast paint vs slap chop contrast vs old fashion base colors with brown wash all over that I think should be in mind at least by painters looking to knock out lots of minis quickly.
