Games Workshop Citadel Bombe sous-couche - Aérosol Contrast Grey Seer

Product Information

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. When used properly a "primer" (as clearly marked on can/bottle as such) should never rub off plastic, metal, glass, resin, etc.

Dab in some Technical Tesseract Glow on the lenses assuming you can find any available and not snapped up by everyone painting up Necrons.

My point is mostly just don't get hung up on terminology, for the most part paint terminology isn't regulated so companies can be misleading in their labelling at times. 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). 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.

Need to paint some solid Space Marine armour? Hues like Baal Red and Bad Moon Yellow will make short work of saturated ceramite for any Chapter. Or, if you’ve got your eyes on a Hedonites of Slaanesh war host, Doomfire Magenta will give you the luxurious robes you need to satiate the Lord of Pleasure himself. 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.Grey Seer is just a light neutral grey, so if you're not hell bent on a perfect match then any light neutral grey should probably do the job. I think most of the other citadel light greys aren't neutral. Administratum Grey perhaps, but that's a bit darker. Contrast Wyldwood for the pouches, a dab of Contrast Iyanden Yellow on the Purity Seal, Skulls and weapon housing for a spot of colour. 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. We’re not aiming to hit every edge here as we’ve already got highlighting from our airbrush gradients, instead try to aim for only edges that would catch the light with your first stage highlight and only the most dramatic edges with your second stage.
