I think it is a great idea to show how they work on other miniatures and I was very impressed with how good these 15 mm figures look. I think your right about adding just a little green to the mix as it seems to be a pretty potent color. They look realistic and I hope you will do more figures like this in the future. Thanks for sharing this very helpful technique.
That looks really good! Not bad for a few minutes worth of painting, especially for that scale. Definitely worth trying out. But have to be super careful not to spill on to other areas because you can lose a lot of time cleaning up mistakes
I’ve recently painted about 70 microarmour pieces for WW2 Soviet forces, and Wraithbone + medium diluted Militarum Green yielded a perfect yellowish-green Soviet colour.
I think, mixing Militarum Green and Iyanden Yellow would yield in the Khaki/brownish tone, the Soviets were using in WW2 for their colour scheme. maybe...can't validate, as I'm still waiting for my contrast paints...
looks fantastic, contrast paints works very well on WWII to it seems. if you have the time, could you also do a vid of other historial figs, like the british napoleonic or the rebs from the american civil war? im dying to see how contrast paints works on them.
Cool... One thing I've noticed they tend to look too faded in spots when applied but darken and get more even when they dry. And you can't really tell what the final color is just looking at the pot -- that definitely takes some getting used to. The stupid names don't help any... I thought Wyldwood was a shade of green at first.
Amazing tutorial. Can you make more of these about team Yankee? For example the east German infantry or other nations and vehicles. Would be greatly appreciated.
Do you ever have anything positive to say? Keep running across your Debbie Downer posts on anything related to Contrast paints. You might want to check in on the Department of Missing the Point, a shoulder strap isn't going to add much time.
@@chrisrobinson196 Not everyone is sipping the GW kool-aid. Some of us realize that there have existed inks and washes that are the SAME EXACT thing as these GW contrast paints that are being pushed as the greatest thing to miniature painting ever. When they are nothing but old tried and true ways to paint. GW didn't invent the wheel here. They just got a number of people on the misinformation hype train.

those paints work really well for that scale of model. Looks really pleasing to the eye. Thanks for all your hard work, Chris.
Thank you for a quick and concise video. All others are around 20 mins. Excellent work!

these look great, i can see a use for the contrast paints on smaller scale stuff now, titanicus comes to mind ;)

I would say, for Soviet khaki green, you need some muted yellow, like aggros dunes added, not wyldwood.
Straight Aggros Dunes would be good for an Afghanistan themed Soviet force.

@@OnboardG1 Go look up the uniforms that the USSR used in Europe then come back to us.

Adds a lot of cool detail without a lot of work!
Awesome vid. I'm starting some now!
I would love a tutorial for german and or american flames of war infantry (ww2)!
Awesome 👍 I really like the green color.

Very interesting, now wondering what I could use for the huge pile of East German infantry I have in the pile of shame!

I'll see what I can do.
Thank you so much. Greatly appreciated and thanks for the quick reply!@@WayoftheBrush
Yep!
Use this technique for Flames Of War :)
Oh my, that's awesome. I've tried painting these guys with normal paints. It looks great, but it's such a slow and depressing process...
Hey will you try to make nmm gold ?
Thanks for the video. Loving your work 👍
that'll be perfect for my West Germans...
didint even bother to paint the RPG guys leather shoulder strap. I know these are supposed to be painted fast but c'mon.
