Hey all

Just bought myself some GW Contrast Medium, primarily to thin Skeleton Horde for a model I've got on "the bench".

Anyhow, I've seen GW, via Warhammer TV, touting it as a solution to glazes, by mixing it with other Contrast paints. But can you mix it with any other GW (or comparable brand) paints to make Contrast paints from colours that don't already exist in the Contrast range?

If so, anyone any idea on ratios of paint to Contrast medium?

Thanks in advance.

I'd imagine so. most mediums are geneerally all in the same ball park. just do some experimentation. I wasnt that impressed with the contrast medium..i just thin my contrast with water.

contrast medium is as useful as lahmian medium. itll help you create great transitions & gradients.

Its PH & dissolved solids content is different than Lahmian. So you may or may not have issues thinning with "regular" H2O.
