				<title>Using Contrast Paints... Unconventionally?</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ So, I like the new contrast paints, but--let me be honest--I'm stubborn and I got to like the whole (dark) base, shade, layer, layer, etc (edge, dry, glaze, whatever you use) method... has anyone had any luck incorporating the contrast paints into this method? What about using them after the last layer? So, just to give an example using the new legion-specific paints, how about: color prime with something dark like the old Incubi Darkness or just a black, then Lupercal green, wash of coelia greenshade or something else suitable, then Sons of Horus green, maybe another green or two for highlights and edge highlights, and finally aethermatic blue or one of the other greenish-blue contrast paints as a last step (oh, and then some kind of Matte varnish at the end)? I'm going to try it on a sample throwaway model, but I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience using contrast paints in situations other than what <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(50);'>GW</span> recommends. I ask because I'm not conceptually excited by the idea of using contrast paints almost like some people use quickshade from Army Painter, but I'm still impressed with the effects, so I'm wondering if they could be used as part of a preexisting, more complex painting method rather than being an avenue for saving time (which is totally fine, by the way, I'm just looking to get a little more out of them).]]></description>

				<title>Using Contrast Paints... Unconventionally?</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ I've used them in an intermediary layer and they seem to work. If you use them as a filter for the colors underneath, then the answer is yes. Unfortunately they do not really work well with a dark under layer(unless you are going for several coats to "tint" the darker color).<br /> <br /> While they are great for beginners, I think that experienced painters will really like having them in the toolbox. I have a new way to do; flames, plasma, black cloaks, etc. They definitely benefit from both shading, washing, & drybrush.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ I've been using flesh tearers red mixed with the medium like a glaze between layers on my red, and to bring down the highlights when they get a little too stark.]]></description>
