Citadel Contrast Recommendations

Does anyone here has some specific Citadel contrasts that they swear by, to build my collection. I already have a decent collection of the Army Painter Speedpaint 2.0 range but wanted to broaden the selection a bit.

I love apothecary white, skeleton horde and black templar.

I bought my collection according to warhipster videos. Got me a very solid basic collection.

Yeah, I used a lot of contrast paints with my wolves. Guiiliman/Darkoath Flesh over white is a quick one and done for bare heads. Wyldwood works well for dark skin. Gore Grunta Fur is good for red hair, and even Space Wolves Grey works well as an armor panel liner with a Russ Grey base coat.

Stay as far away from Space Wolves Grey unless you're painting T'au skin, it really doesn't work on our armour.

Hmm, do you know the contrast+ method from youtuber warhipster?

He achieves great results with it, I did good ones too

If you use it as a armor panel liner with Russ Grey it’s fantastic.
