Hi guys,

I'm finding the new contrast paints really useful for getting the base colours done much quicker but I was wondering if I will need to paint a layer of stormshield over everything to make sure the stuff won't rub off?

Thanks in advance!

Having used the contrast paints on a some Kabalites over the past week, I would say that it's well worth putting some stormshield on, at least on any parts which jut out and are likely to suffer more wear and tear.

The new paints produce some really good effects, but tend to be really thin on raised edges, and thus appear to be pretty prone to rubbing off.
