Citadel Contrast Paints

Thanks but say I've already undercoated my figures black (yes I have, every bit of unpainted lead in my possession)
Then I want to paint them red or say yellow - would it work?

What I'm about to do with some Prussian SYW Cuirassiers is paint the tunics brown, then overpaint in mellow yellow

That I do not know.

I’ll give it a try tomorrow, will be interested to see how it turns out. My money’s on.........errrrrrgh.

I wonder why they call it "Mellow Yellow"?

Fans of 1960's Psychedelic pop?

Tried Blood Angel Red over black undercoat. Virtually disappeared apart from a mucky red in the folds. Might have a slight use as very very deep base coat but I wouldn’t bother myself.

Cheers LT, looks like I should give them a miss

Encouraged by what I've heard, and other people's expectations, I put a pot of this new-fangled and so-called 'miracle' paint next to a primed and undercoated figure yesterday.

When I came back to it this morning I was so, so disappointed. Not only did the figure remain unfinished, with none of the shading and highlighting I was led to expect, but it wasn't even based and textured either! I mean, come on GW, this is just another dodgy marketing campaign where we, the customer, are ripped off yet again.

You obviously got a duff pot. Did you keep the receipt?
