Hey guys. I recently picked up the grand Cathay vs chaos box and I’m starting the Cathay portion. I don’t know what type of paint I should use for this army. I’m used to using base paints, but I’ve seen videos online like warhipster using contrast to make these models really pop, but I’ve also seen other photos with bright opaque colors that are only achieved using base paints. Do you guys prefer the control of base paints or do you think it’ll be more efficient using the quick contrast paints? Is the time spent painting to completion ratio reasonable for using base paints or should I reserve that for characters instead of painting 20 models at the speed of a turtle. Thanks for the help!
