Citadel Contrast: Leviathan Purple

The one-coat coverage over a light undercoat is genuinely impressive—the shading appears on its own without any extra work. I got a rich, vivid purple with natural depth in the crevices, and it dried fast enough to move on to the next layer in minutes.

This paint really does deliver both a strong base color and built-in shading in one coat. I brushed it over a light grey primer and got exactly that deep, rich purple with natural-looking shadows in the crevices. It saved me a ton of time on a batch of infantry models.
