Warhammer Colour Contrast Paints – One Coat Wonders
Contrast paints are a revolutionary paint formula that combines base colour, shade, and highlight effect into a single coat. Applied over a light primer like Wraithbone or Grey Seer, Contrast paints flow into recesses automatically while leaving a lighter, more saturated colour on raised surfaces — achieving results in minutes that would traditionally take multiple steps.
Loaded Dice stocks the complete Warhammer Colour Contrast range in our Barry, South Wales shop and online at loadeddice.uk. With over 120 Contrast colours available, this range is perfect for painters who want to get armies tabletop-ready quickly, beginners looking for impressive results with minimal experience, and experienced painters who use Contrast as a powerful glazing and speed-painting tool.
