Day 1 of my ethereal creatures project using Citadel Contrast paints yielded fourteen completed miniatures. A lesson from this one is to make sure you prime close to perfectly. Typically, because I prime in batches of a dozen, some crevasses, nooks and crannies don't get covered. When layering it's no problem, just fill it in with black or whatever. I used the recommended Citadel Grayseer primer spray as it has a formulated surface ideal for the Contrast medium. I also bought the Grayseer gray in the bottle knowing I'd have to touch up and fill in here and there. |

Well,
it behaves quite a bit differently and the Contrast paint is weird exactly
where I had the brush on gray placed. The front was good, but the back
has some issues. These do take some experimenting - a lot of things didn't seem to materialize until they had dried. I was also batch painting so didn't pay as close attention as I otherwise would. In any event, I'm certain I could have painted all these better in my layering way, but not in the 30-40 minutes it took me to finish them. |
Time is iffy in the next few days so it's not clear how many I'll finish of the 25 remaining figures for Day 2. In many ways, Day 1 dispensed with some of the low hanging fruit if you will. Easy miniatures with no difficult decisions. Onward.
