![]() ![]() ![]() Dark Wood Speedpaint thinned with Contrast Medium looks nice, the diluted Wyldwood also turned out smoothly, if we disregard the pooling on the flat leg armour, and the thinned Rhinox Hide also makes a good wash, even if it has not dried out completely dark in one of the recesses on the left foot. The transitions from light to dark, for example under the breastplate, are also quite smooth. On the parts painted with diluted Agrax Earthshade, we have an extremely smooth result on the flat areas, yet the brown pigments have settled very nicely into the recesses, creating a more pronounced shading than Lahmian Medium did. Contrast Medium has a medium viscosity and a slightly milky appearance. The low viscosity makes Lahmian Medium unique, but I can only put it in the C-tier, especially as there is another product that does everything that Lahmian Medium does but better. I tested thinning Kantor Blue, and Lahmian Medium achieved the desired effect there, but I would still be careful if you want to thin normal acrylic paints with Lahmian Medium.Īll in all, it’s a mixed bag. The areas painted with thinned Wyldwood Contrast Paint don’t convince me so much, they look quite uneven and lack definition, and unfortunately thinning with Rhinox Hide didn’t work at all and bled out the brown pigments. Mixed with Dark Wood Speedpaint we see a quite smooth result, but the recesses dried shiny and cloudy where a lot of wash has gathered. The shading on the parts of the model painted with diluted Agrax Earthshade is quite pale and soft, however, the transitions can be quite harsh and there is a weird staining effect visible on the edges of the bolt pistol’s casing. I therefore recommend using Lahmian Medium more sparingly than the other mediums. However, this makes your washes quite thin and thus somewhat more difficult to control. ![]() ![]() Lahmian Medium has the lowest viscosity, so the pigments are flowing well into the recesses. We start with Lahmian Medium from Games Workshop, probably the most well-known acrylic medium. I’ll rank the results in a tier list from best to trash and I promise, the results will be quite surprising! The diluted washes will then be applied to a bunch of Space Marine Intercessors I have primed with Corax White, which is a light grey matt primer. Today I am testing six acrylic mediums: Lahmian and Contrast Medium from Games Workshop, Speedpaint and Quickshade Wash Medium from The Army Painter, Vallejo Glaze Medium, and Dispel Magic from Scale 75’s Instant Color range.Įach medium will be used for thinning Agrax Earthshade wash, Wyldwood Contrast Paint, Dark Wood Speedpaint, and Rhinox Hide. Are you interested in other acrylic mediums? Then drop me a comment and I’ll see what I can do in a future post or video. There are also a lot of other acrylic mediums that make your paint more matt, more glossy, more transparent or prolong the drying time, but these are not the point today. The technique of dipping is not new.First things first: In this post, we talk only about acrylic mediums used for thinning washes like Citadel Shade paints or diluting ink-like paints like Contrast and Speedpaint.
