Last night I completed painting this company of 18th century British grenadiers from Crann Tara Miniatures, the first part of my latest big battalion. I used GW Contrast paints almost entirely for this project. The only exception was that I added a top coat of Foundry medium blue to the turnbacks, as I felt the shade of Contrast dark blue I used didn't stand out enough. The beauty of Contrast paints, besides providing their own highlighting and shading, is that they flow so easily. The mitre caps were actually quite simple to do, as the paint filled the gaps between the lacing by itself. More pics and info here: link
