    I still use old fashioned base coat - ink - dry brush for most of my armies. I’d only use contrast if I was considering painting up something like 100 skeletons or Tyranids. Good call on using the contrast technical pot to create your own contrast colours - it’s so obvious but I never thought of it!

    Great to see another video! Audio is so much better. My only tip is that when I first saw this video I though I had already watched it. A red line appears on the bottom of a thumbnail in the CZcams app when you’ve already watched it. Great to see you back! Maybe you could do a video on basing? I’ve found that rolling out a sheet of greenstuff, letting it cure, and then cutting that to use as bricks is very helpful!
