Steel Fist Cavalry with GW Contrast Paints
I just finished up a two quick stands of Steel Fist English Civil War cavalry. The figures were primed with Tamiya Light Gray spray primer.
After that I covered the horses with a quick wash of 1:1:2 of Agrax Earthshade / Nuln Oil / Lahman Medium to shade the recesses. The horse colors are Games Workshop Contrast Paints:
- CP Goregrunta Fur
- CP Fireslayer Flesh
- CP Cygor / CP Medium / Water in a 2:2:1 ratio
Horse Details
The riders are 90% contrast painted. The metal is first hit with CP Black Legion and then Army Painter Gun Metal.
Quick and Beautiful
Painting with Games Workshop Contrast Paints is quick and it does a fantastic job of picking out all of the beautiful sculpting by Oliver James on these lovely figures. The paint can appear blotchy at close magnification, but at arm's length it disappears and creates a fantastic shaded figure in one coat.
