How to Paint: Metallic (?) ULTRAMARINES - Contrast hack!

How to Paint Ultramarines! Today we’re teaching you how to paint space marines using contrast paints: It’s a twist on the normal Ultramarine Blue we’ve seen in Warhammer 40k for decades, we’ve used drybrushing and the Ultramarines Blue contrast paint, with some painting tips and tricks to help you get amazing results, every time.

The method is surprisingly easy, we even show you the experimentation so you can work out your own drybrushing metallics + [colour] schemes.
