Citadel Contrast: Stormfiend (18ml)
A cool, neutral grey Contrast that’s perfect for fast, natural shading on fur, cloth, stone, and “mechanical greys” — giving you depth and definition in a single coat.
 
What it does
Bases, shades, and highlights your model with one application (Contrast behavior).
Creates natural-looking depth in textures like fur, fabric folds, and rough surfaces.
Water-based formula, easy cleanup and easy to thin for glazing.
 
How to use
Prime with a light undercoat (Contrast-style priming).
Apply a generous coat and guide pooling away from flat panels before it dries.
Let it fully dry, then add edge highlights if you want a sharper, “studio” finish.
 
Best for
Fur & skin textures (Skaven, beasts, monsters)
Stone, rubble, concrete, and weathered terrain
Neutral grey cloth, straps, pouches, and quick tabletop-ready schemes

ChalkyDot Tip: For smoother results on flat armor plates, do one normal coat, let it dry, then apply a second very thin coat only in the recesses—you keep clean highlights while boosting depth.
