Vallejo make White Grey 70.993 in their VMC line, but it's lighter than Grey Seer, much closer to white, but in the same realm of being a relatively neutral grey (not particularly warm nor particularly cool). VMC also have "Neutral Grey 70.992" which I've sometimes used as a light grey but unfortunately I can't find my bottle at the moment so I can't compare it to Grey Seer. Pylar Glacier creates the illusion of an icy surface with no hassle. Briar Queen Chill and Dreadful Visage live up to their names, making them ideal for spectral phantasms or smoky apparitions, and Mantis Warriors Green offers a luminous green-yellow that’s perfect for bolts of wyrd energy. The Citadel Colour experts have spent many months researching, developing, testing – and painting! – with our Shade range to find out how to make them even better than they already are. The result of all of this hard work is a total reformulation of all of the Shade paints you know and love – and the creation of seven new Shades. Apply another layer of Ultra Matte Varnish to bind the pigment and give the whole model a consistent finish.

Queue Contrast paints - I get my hands on the new hotness that GW is throwing at us, and I'm thinking 'Hey, my metal primer is a pretty soft grey, maybe it'll be an okay match for Grey seer. I use the pot of the base paint I bought for touch ups and cleanup (I'm not exactly a neat painter) and put some on one of the primed mini's to look at how close they are - and promptly got floored - It's a perfect match (or perfect enough that I can't see the difference). As a Warhammer 40K enthusiast and experienced painter, I can recommend several armies that can be painted using Grey Seer – Spray. This primer is an excellent choice for creating a base coat on a range of factions, from the Imperium to the Chaos forces. Do two steps of edge highlighting – first with Vallejo Model Color Dark Grey, then with Dark Blue Grey. Transfers – I’ll keep this brief as plenty has been written here already; I get all my sets from Mighty Brush and do the following:

Opening Times

If you want to see this process in more detail I’d recommend watching Cult of Paint’s excellent tutorial on preshading via their YouTube channel. Gloss varnish the whole thing. While the acrylic inks dry fairly glossy, they’re a pretty fragile coat that you want to add some protection to.

Our paint scientists haven’t stopped there. White Scar is our best ever white spray paint. It applies smoothly and with absolutely no fuss, giving you the perfect foundation for painting dazzling colours – and it works particularly well with our most vibrant new Contrast paints. As a professional painter and color theory enthusiast, I can suggest several Citadel Colour paints that pair well with Grey Seer – Spray, providing a harmonious and visually appealing color scheme for miniatures. new paints is a lot of colour to cover, so we’ve split the range into four simple categories to help you get an idea of what they look like. These new colours run the gamut from bright and bold to grimy and eerie – whether you’re painting a tank turret or a raging Endless Spell, there’s a pot here for you. I think you're assigning meaning to the word primer that doesn't exist to the paint companies selling them. I've used "primers" that stripped off easily, and I've used "paints" that were a bitch to strip.Personally, if I'm just doing a bit of something and don't want to buy a whole pot (like, one off model vs a whole army that needs to be that colour), then I'll mix up what I need and save a swatch of it with a note of which paints were used so if I ever need to reproduce it I can. The improvement in formula, and the proliferation that ensued, of two-in-one paints heavily contributes to the blurring of the line between primers & paints. However, at the very core of it, primer is polymers suspended in solvent, while paints are pigments that are suspended in mediums, which in turn are suspended in solvent. Two-in-one paints are ones that typically use polymers used in primers as the medium to suspend the pigments in. So, colored primers are a type of colored spray paint, but not all colored spray paints can be said to be colored primers. When used properly a "primer" (as clearly marked on can/bottle as such) should never rub off plastic, metal, glass, resin, etc. You could try the ones I mentioned, Vallejo White Grey or Neutral Grey, but he former would need to be darkened slightly if you want a match for Grey Seer and the latter may need to be lightened, I'm not sure on the VMC Neutral Grey, if you want I can dig through my hobby bin and find my VMC Neutral Grey and see what it's like next to Grey Seer.

Red Armor Shading: Nuln Oil stippled and splotched loosely over lower areas, along recesses, undersides of armor. A second coat of Nuln Oil for a few darker splotches in shade area. Red Armor Highlights GW's current line of spray paints use a very strong solvent, they stink to high heaven way worse than the GW sprays I used a decade or so ago. I haven't tried to strip any of my models sprayed with the current line of GW sprays with alcohol, but they won't scratch off the surface of the plastic easily using a finger nail (though you can mar the surface texture of them). The Adeptus Mechanicus, known for their intricate machinery and cybernetic soldiers, can benefit from the neutral, grey-toned base provided by Grey Seer – Spray. It can help accentuate the metallic parts and give a cohesive look to the army. I've been collecting minis for sometime and while my pile of shame overgrown in months, I want to begin painting. My faction is Adepta Sororitas and I grab Indomitus' SM side as testing my painting skills (mainly wanted my friend who introduced me to this hobby to have a legit army and I bought Indomitus as a perfect starter for both of us---long story short, I really don't want to play SM, but I'll paint them as Blood Angels and maybe if I'm happy with the result, I'll give them too to my friend since his original favorite faction was them). These are some of the boldest and brightest colours in the Contrast range. They’re perfect for creating vivid finishes and striking effects. Who knows what arcane elements our paint technicians mixed up to get such vibrancy?At this stage I’m doing more red highlight as well, doing edge highlights on the red with Wazdakka Red. I also cover the eyes, doing them in a gemstone style using Warpstone Glow shaded with Coelia Greenshade and Nuln Oil and highlight with a spot of Moot Green. In summary, Grey Seer – Spray is an excellent primer for a range of factions in the Warhammer 40K universe. By selecting armies that have a focus on armor, soldiers, machinery, guns, tanks, and infantry, such as the Adeptus Mechanicus, Death Guard, and Space Wolves, this primer can enhance the overall look and feel of the army. Grey Seer – Spray Colour Schemes & Combinations Some people argue that primers have extra things put in that make them primers, but it's not necessarily true, primer doesn't have a strict definition and can mean different things to different companies. If a company advertises a paint as a primer, it just means they think it's good for laying down an undercoat in whatever circumstance they are advertising it, it doesn't necessarily mean it has any special additives or formulation. Add some off-white highlights. I wanted to be sure not to go too bright, so I didn’t go with pure white. For this model I used Vallejo Model Air Insignia White, but I think a future model might use Vallejo Model Air White Grey or something else about one step down the brightness scale. The Death Guard, a Nurgle-aligned Chaos faction, would also benefit from this primer. The grey color can help emphasize the decay and rust of their armor and machinery, giving them a gritty and realistic look.

The only "hobby" spray I use is Testors Dullcote. I haven't experienced a flatter matte color than that.I don’t want to buy a pot of Grey Seer just to do a little bit of drybrushing, but I do have other Citadel grey paints. Would any of those be an acceptable equivalent of Grey Seer? Kroxigor Scales or Luxion Purple are perfect for painting the warp-touched daemons of Tzeentch in all their chromatic splendour, while Imperial Fist Yellow or Striking Scorpion Green will give the Scions of the Flame access to a kaleidoscopic inferno – let your imagination run wild! Three coats of Daler Rowney FW Crimson acrylic ink. Each coat brings more vibrance to the red, so do as many as you feel you need. If you want more of the purple tones from the official GW schemes, try using either Process Magenta or Purple Lake as your first layer, or mixing it into the Crimson.
