I'm building my first army and thinning my paints is difficult for me. I'm so impatient! But it's worth it.

Do try Army Painter's speedpaints or Citadel contrast paints, they did help a ton when I was in a hurry and it helps to get an idea of what it looks like when doing the highlights and inking yourself :)

I have soooo many contrast paints and I love them. I've also fallen in love with some colors from Vallejo that are thin enough that I don't have to thin them at all (or very little). The 80's girl in me is building a dayglo uv reactive demonette army, and their fluo colors are amazing.

So far I've only tried their "space" paints but I'd love some uv glow on my d&d monsters, I need to look them up!
