Subject: Contrast paint to use with Zandri Dust undercoat?
So, my Eradicant Angels are using Zandri Dust as the undercoast/base layer. What contrast paints would go well with that? I am trying for something that looks a bit like this: http://tibbsforge.com/angels-eradicant-test-model/
Cheers everyone, XD.

The first thing you need to considered is that Contrast paints cannot be used to produce a colour that is lighter than the base colour. The marine you linked to has airbrushed highlight of Ushabti bone. You might be able get similar effect by following Zandri dust undercoat with Wraithbone overspray. Then all you need is shading and Skeleton Horde contrast thinned down with Contrast medium or applied directly to recesses should do the job.
Black is not an issue. Black Templar contrast looks great over Wraithbone although you probably need to two thin coats instead of one thick.
That place is the harsh dark future far left with only war left.

Thanks for your advice. I tried out wraithbone + skeleton horde in-store yesterday, it look OK. I will trial on some models over the next few days, see how it compares to the Zandri Dust models I did and was not entirely happy with.
