You can use it neat for very, very fine edge highlights but I generally overhighlight and then glaze black back down anyway.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109377258517790966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976462473924213843.post-44155457364211193472013-03-20T19:39:39.614+00:002013-03-20T19:39:39.614+00:00Just a quick question.

I was just wondering whether you use this just as it is and apply it straight over the black? It just seems a little too light to me to use as it is.Blackmanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04556689761465888146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976462473924213843.post-57186595528625150792013-02-22T18:30:09.327+00:002013-02-22T18:30:09.327+00:00I use it as a basecoat for bronze.

I'm not a very accomplished painter, so I appreciate tips from people that know which end of a brush to use.<br /><br />I just ran out of Chaos Black, so I opened up my first pot of Abaddon Black last week. I agree with the fact that it doesn't cover as well as Chaos Black. I was perplexed at first, I didn't understand how a black could be so thin, but BoxerSainthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05092420315975041509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976462473924213843.post-28845192984631220792013-02-19T21:05:39.712+00:002013-02-19T21:05:39.712+00:00Actually, what do you use Screaming Bell for?

And yeah, the dry pigments work great... for drybrushing.

Certainly no more annoying to mix than any of the other base paints.<br /><br />I also like the dry paints, but then I use them only for drybrushing...<br /><br />I suspect that the range has been designed more for the keen amateurs such as myself, rather than the Scared Paintmeisters like Mr. Viking here.Annihilushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08169737427862643712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976462473924213843.post-7956144251660623262013-02-19T19:20:34.571+00:002013-02-19T19:20:34.571+00:00Good to see objective opinion on citadel paints.
