Hi, before I start a project I like to get my head round a simple and efficient method of how I'm going to replicate a paint scheme across an army. I want to do nurgle with sickly white skin rather than the traditional green.
I was planning on spray coating with white and shading with nuln and then use biel-tan and carroburg washes sparingly to add some ick basically.
I've started thinking about the contrast range tho, I've not used them at all yet. I'm wondering do the contrast sprays take washes better? I was under the impression they are meant to be super smooth to help the contrast paints flow.
Wraithbone looks a little too creamy for what I want, how white is grey seer? Is it literally grey? I know that's a stupid question.
And then they have the apothecary white contrast paint. Will that make it whiter or is it doing similar to what is achieve from the nuln? I guess I don't really understand how you can have a white contrast paint over a white base coat.
Sorry for rambling any advice greatly appreciated...

the grey seer is a light grey. apothecary white is also, confusingly, grey (slightly darker than the grey seer).
Steer clear of using contrast on large, flat panels. You won't geat a great finish.
On vehicles, I'd suggest using Halford's yellow ochre primer followed by wraithbone primer. The Halford's will give a slightly grainy finish which will help give a good base for nurgle-type models IMO.

So if I want white do you think I should start from just corax white / generic white primer?
