Warhammer - Citadel Colour: Contrast Basilicanum Grey 29-37
Contrast paints combine the high flow of a Shade paint with the intense color density and adhesion of a Layer paint, allowing miniatures to be painted quickly and efficiently in a single coat. Basilicanum Grey is ideal for dark, neutral grey tones and works particularly well for armor, weapons, machinery, vehicles, stone surfaces, as well as dark or industrial details. The paint creates strong contrasts and immediately adds depth and weight to models.
Contrast Paints act as both a base color and shading at the same time, automatically highlighting details and greatly simplifying the painting process. When applied over metallic paints, Basilicanum Grey alters the color tone without obscuring the metallic texture, making it perfect for dark steel, chains, or mechanical components.
For optimal results, light-colored primers are recommended. Wraithbone, White Scar, and Grey Seer are particularly suitable, as they perfectly showcase the transparency and excellent flow properties of Contrast paints.
