Games Workshop Citadel Pot de Peinture - Contrast Guilliman Flesh (18ml), 9918996002306

Product Information

I started with Guilliman Flesh contrast paint (yes, I know there’s a Fyreslayer’s Flesh paint, but I didn’t already own that, and I was trying to do this cheaply as Christmas is expensive, and my car battery just died). I then applied a highlight of Ratskin Flesh and Kislev Flesh before a final coat of Guilliman Flesh over the top. I felt that this created a “straight from the forge” effect to the skin of my fire duardin. Also do you have a tip for an easy to achieve (i.e. contrast level of lazyness) piggy/salmon pink? I've tried the lighter contrast pink, but even heavily thinned with contrast medium the tone is way to purple overall and in the recesses. With a wash of fuegan orange over that I've had moderate success. Maybe something over a fleshtone would be better. We can also choose analogous colors that sit adjacent to Guilliman Flesh on the color wheel. For example, using colors such as Mephiston Red and Evil Sunz Scarlet can create a vibrant, fiery effect that can be used to highlight areas of the model.

Would you say the difference between wraithbone and vallejo desert tan is big/clearly noticeable when the colours are applied (in terms of color tone). Vallejo desert tan seems to be a lot more yellow, however if the difference to that one is noticable but not that big I might be tempted to try some of the bone white or off white alternatives. With GW's current situation it might be months until I get my hands on a new can of wraithbone spray... Glaze cheeks of type I and II skin to provide the blush – this always develops due to sun damage to the exposed cheeks. A faint tint is sufficient, don’t deepen with more layers it unless you want your model to be wearing makeup. The Contrast spray primers also come with matching base paint versions. I tested Wraithbone and as you can see, the result is pretty close. However, even though Wraithbone is a base paint, the coverage is as you would expect from a light, almost white bone colour – not that great. It took me about 6 or 7 thin layers for perfect coverage over a medium grey primer. Because of the number of layers, I had to apply the result wasn’t perfectly smooth and I noticed the Contrast paint dried noticeably more uneven. Contrast paints really benefit from a perfectly smooth base coat. Experimenting with Contrast paints & Contrast Medium My other thought is that with doing a double Zenithal, you might actually get better results using Citadel shades or Army Painter shades over it, for the simple fact that those shades are much weaker than Contrasts and the Zenithal will show up much, much better under them.Regarding zenithal: I keep reading that it supposedly works very well with Contrast colors. I assume you have to dillute them a bit for that purpose. So it is something I would try with bigger miniatures and bigger surfaces, where Contrasts themselves would seem to be less efficient. Regiments I will probably undercoat with a single color, depending on the miniatures. Wash your brushes a lot, as the high-pigmented paint will easily creep up into the ferrule of your brush. The first is light that is bounced off of the skin retaining the color of the source light. In typical conditions (outside, under a blue sky) this is a slightly cool (tinged with blue) white color. Typically, when you’re taking flesh tone and mixing in white to highlight, this is what you’re approximating. On the surfaces where light is shining directly, you get more white showing through.

Hope you enjoyed my Citadel Contrast review! We’d be glad to hear about your experiences in the comments below. I've had contrast colours work just fine on corax white and as far as I know the primers of other companies are already smoother that gw's cw, which is where that issue comes from. Tamiya light gray primer spray (I think it's sold as simply "Tamiya Gray Fine Surface Primer" or something like that)

When I put Guilliman Flesh over Desert Tan I was surprised how close it actually was to putting it over Wraithbone. The flesh WAS somewhat darker, but not drastically, at least not to me. Personally, I feel Guilliman Flesh produces rather stark results (as do the Fyreslayer Flesh and Darkoath Flesh from my experience). Fine for very muscular and animated faces, but I guess I’d prefer Reikland Fleshshade for the softer shading. Two coats of Reikland Fleshshade are pretty close to a single layer of Guilliman Flesh. Glaze 4:1 Druchii Violet: Khorne Red heavily thinned on flushed areas, then retouch final highlight
