I painted these using Contrast paints. If you would like to see my thoughts on these paints then you can read my blog. https://marctgames.wordpress.com/2019/06/22/this-week-i-have-been-mainly/
However, these were painted in less than a week and I am quite pleased with the results.

Nice, did you varnish/clear coat them?  Seeing a lot of rumbles about Contrast chipping off rather easily (being, as it is, super thin compared to normal paints).

Yes. I have varnished them afterwards with a spray Matt varnish. Some of the paints have a bit of a satin finish.

Those turned out quite nice. Contrast paints seem like a great fit for the freefolk hordes.

More stuff. Giants and heroes. Again all painted with Contrast paints apart from the metals. I have found that the paints mix very well. If you would like to see the other giant and the heroes and how I painted them you can read more on my blog. https://marctgames.wordpress.com/2019/06/29/the-last-of-the-free-folk/
