This is probably my least favorite thing I've painted this year. Contrast/Speed paints aren't appropriate for every painting job. Quick, but awful. link |

That is a great looking unit – nobody does ragged rebs better than Stone Mountain |

They look great! I don't know what Speed/Contrast paints are. Can someone enlighten me? |

Army Painter makes "Speedpaints", and Citadel makes "Contrast Paints". Both are designed to provide shading, base, and highlights in ONE coat of paint. They are designed to go over a white or white/gray primer coat. They are excellent for cranking out lots of minis for the table very quickly. They are NOT designed to win painting contests. I would add to Flashman's observations about the results by saying that I find Contrast/SpeedPaints work better not only on more detailed sculpts but also on larger scale figures |

Thank you Perris0707. I used to use a wash until I discovered Army Painter Quick Shade dips. |

I think those troops look great. You really brought those figures to life. |
