I have watched many 'reviews' on youtube of those paints and that seems to be the consensus. I haven't paid enough attention... are these contrast paints replacing their other lines? Or are they just an addition?

It's an addition. The idea is that you prime your minis and then use these in lieu of a base/shader/wash. So you get to a base+wash stage after one cost of this thin yet incredibly pigment dense paint and can then do additional shades / washes if you want or skip straight to picking out detail work.
You could conceivably do an entire squad in under an hour using these so long as you knew what colors you were targeting and had a solid plan in place..

You have some pics of some? I’ve heard people talking about them but haven’t really seen anyone post any yet.

Yeah that’s fantastic for things like zombicide or massive darkness when you have 15 of the same model x4

Yeah if I could just motor through a whole swarm of a single color before having to switch brushes it'd be crazy handy.
It comes out in some of the reviews, but it is very important to note that some colors are intrinsically thinner than others. The paper/flesh tone above is skeleton horde and when you see it on the brush you go 'wtf this is brown!' yet it applies evenly and dries to a nice parchment / white guy color.

My next two finished (for now) pieces. I figured with the cloak on the Dragonborn I would try my hand at manually highlighting versus the dry brushing. Not the cleanest but hopefully should look nice on the table tonight for our big fight.
Also got to play with some of the blood for the blood god paint on the gnoll’s axe and gave him a little more dry brushing work.
Tried out a wet palette today and holy fuck what a difference. This solved mostly all of my issues in trying to get my paints thinned without them instantly fucking up. Overall, pretty happy. Got to start on these at another paint workshop at my LGS and got some more tips and got to see some cool pieces getting worked on. I’m slowly improving.

Those look much better on the paint thickness. One tip for the blood god paint. Add that as your last step AFTER you’ve hit it with matte varnish and any additional highlights. If you do it beforehand it loses its glossy/blood effect. Below is an old zombie I did that you can see what I’m talking about.
Nice work

Yeah feel you there. It’s time intensive and summer is busy as fuck. I hadn’t touched a brush in 3-4 weeks until today. And only got in 20 minutes to finish it off.

If any of you have old, spare Rapier track shizzle, I will suck yo dick
...ooor maybe I'll just keep checking ebay. Definitely sound less degrading
Gonna start silicone casting old parts I want that are getting hard to find. And I really don't want to split apart old conversions so I can recast Rapier tracks.
EDIT: not the new shit, I'm talking about the old track bits. I made a custom model with some years ago, I want new ones to match, prices are like $40-$60 and I want to get back on that conversion snake

Well one of you is responsible for me going on a mini buying binge. I think it was Hateyou, in some other random thread.
I used to go to work with my Dad in Princeton as a kid. Right by the university there was a shop that sold lead/metal minis. I loved going there so much. So now I'm dangerous because I have money to spend on this stuff.
I bought some on Amazon, some on Miniature Market. Anyway I'm looking at 20 D&D minis on my desk and more on the way. I bought a Reaper Miniatures starter paint set too. So I guess I'll try to paint these!
I watched this vid: and a few others.
Read a few Reddit posts. Any good resources appreciated.
