Finished rebasing some Italians ready for Rapid Fire Reloaded. I need to think about terrain now - a Geek Villian Desert Mat perhaps.

Brilliant stuff. I have the Rapid Fire Reloaded booklet too, not used it yet. Need to finish off my 20mm figures.

Not on my workbench, but thought it might be interesting to some

Can I hit them? I have never heard battledress called fatigues before!

Yes, the bright green 'fatigues' are a great representation of British battledress [Sarc]

I think that as a product, they look a lot better than the contrast paints. They don’t look as ‘washed out’ as you see on many CP painted figures. They certainly seem to go on thicker.

Will I buy any? Probably not. I never bought CP either. Still, interesting to see different things. Regardless of whether the colour, or the terminology, are accurate.

Possibly get the black and an odd other other colour to supplement contrasts.

Thanks Jeremy it's interesting to see what's out there. I've got a small number of contrast paints and mostly use them as thick washes. The ones that get most use are the yellow, white(grey) and black which I use as part of my normal layering. The medium is useful too and makes any colour contrastable.
