Great video. Just a quick question, if that is alright. Why do you work with contrast paints on some videos for the whole 'glaze' portion after stippling, and sometimes oil paints? Like the howling banshee vs the space marines. I am very curious of that.

Hey Rich quick question: What's the reasoning for using an oil wash, instead of a contrast wash as seen in your other videos. Im new to oils and trying to get a sense on when to use them. thank you!

It's a good question. They give slightly different looks. The oil works tend to be more grimy and grimdark looking. I could use them for the Aeldari but I prefer the brighter, cleaner look for them. I might try one with oils though! It also depends a little on what I feel like as I have to make an effort to get my oils out! Haha

Same answer as above: It's a good question. They give slightly different looks. The oil works tend to be more grimy and grimdark looking.

It also depends a little on what I feel like as I have to make an effort to get my oils out! Haha As an extra, the oil work requires more layers with the varnish so isn't as suitable for me for higher level painting.
