A mate of mine swears by them and has been actually painting stuff - which is quite a change!
I'm sticking with my tried and tested methods
I've been getting ready for some Adeptus Titanicus next month. ALWAYS wanted to play AT back in the day, but never had the money.
Been playing with weathering too, which is a lot easier than it looks!

Very nice! AT does look very interesting, but no-one's playing it around here...

Painted up some minis from clank legacy boardgame a couple of months ago and used the contrast paints on a couple to add a bit of a textured look. not really what they're for but the rust on the leftmost figures armour and the bone dragon horns are the most obvious spots.

the contrast paints seem to have been a bit of a flash in the pan. there's also a lot of heavy criticism of them from painters on YT. seems some colours work ok, some dont but they're really just for speed painting if you're not that fussed about results.
The small dropper bottles seem to be held in higher regard than the pots that citadel use which can dry out if left open too long
don't forget to buy a wet pallette, the citadel painting handle is pretty good but you can bodge your own.
Army painter do some pretty good value sets with a decent range of colours, as a rank amateur I quite like their brushes too but they require quite a lot of tlc to keep in good shape.
also worth buying some small ball bearings to put into the paint bottles to act as an agitator when shaking, ebay/amazon should have some, I'm sure a google would tell you what size you need.
Also get a decent light. the daylight architects lamps on amazon will do a good job.
