I wouldn't go as far as to say it's worth the money, but it's actually a really good product when used properly. When used properly a "primer" (as clearly marked on can/bottle as such) should never rub off plastic, metal, glass, resin, etc. Vallejo make White Grey 70.993 in their VMC line, but it's lighter than Grey Seer, much closer to white, but in the same realm of being a relatively neutral grey (not particularly warm nor particularly cool). VMC also have "Neutral Grey 70.992" which I've sometimes used as a light grey but unfortunately I can't find my bottle at the moment so I can't compare it to Grey Seer. Three coats of Daler Rowney FW Crimson acrylic ink. Each coat brings more vibrance to the red, so do as many as you feel you need. If you want more of the purple tones from the official GW schemes, try using either Process Magenta or Purple Lake as your first layer, or mixing it into the Crimson.
Some people argue that primers have extra things put in that make them primers, but it's not necessarily true, primer doesn't have a strict definition and can mean different things to different companies. If a company advertises a paint as a primer, it just means they think it's good for laying down an undercoat in whatever circumstance they are advertising it, it doesn't necessarily mean it has any special additives or formulation. Together with the new Contrast paints and reformulated shades, you’ll find it easier than ever to achieve the results you want and make your miniatures pop on the battlefield. While the worlds of Warhammer are littered with incandescent energy weapons and boldly-coloured robes, they’re also home to pallid ghouls and ethereal entities that can discorporate in the blink of an eye. We’re not aiming to hit every edge here as we’ve already got highlighting from our airbrush gradients, instead try to aim for only edges that would catch the light with your first stage highlight and only the most dramatic edges with your second stage. Shade red armour Flesh Tearer Contrast thinned 3:1. Here we want to shade from the recesses towards the brightest spots so we keep the saturation at its highest where light hits the model. You’ll need to give it 3 or so passes, just keep going if it looks pink and remember to pause to let the model dry if you’re unsure if it needs another layer.As a professional painter and color theory enthusiast, I can suggest several Citadel Colour paints that pair well with Grey Seer – Spray, providing a harmonious and visually appealing color scheme for miniatures. Dab in some Technical Tesseract Glow on the lenses assuming you can find any available and not snapped up by everyone painting up Necrons.
Pylar Glacier creates the illusion of an icy surface with no hassle. Briar Queen Chill and Dreadful Visage live up to their names, making them ideal for spectral phantasms or smoky apparitions, and Mantis Warriors Green offers a luminous green-yellow that’s perfect for bolts of wyrd energy.
Endless Possibilities
My point is mostly just don't get hung up on terminology, for the most part paint terminology isn't regulated so companies can be misleading in their labelling at times. I've got a project which calls for a light drybrush of Grey Seer. While I know most any light grey paint would work, I thought it would be worth it to ask and see if anyone has an opinion on which Citadel, Game Color or Model Color paint would be the best match, as Google searches seem to only give recommendations on spray cans. Thanks. I hate greys but I love greys... I own far too many greys because it's so hard to guess what a grey will look like until you've painted it on a model (in terms of is it slightly warmish, slightly coolish, slightly purplish, slightly greenish, etc). I usually buy a grey, paint it, decide it's not what I wanted and it gets thrown in my pile-of-paints-I-barely-use, lol. Now for the finishing touches. A Flesh Tearer should be blood-stained so I drop some Blood for the Blood God on his chainsword and some drops on the base to make him suitably stained. The base is Astrogranite drybrushed with Celestra Grey and then some Valhallan Blizzard and tufts of Army Painter static grass on top of that. I’m very happy with how this guy turned out and may paint more of these in the future if I can settle on a faster way to do the shoulder pad icons.

I also cover the eyes, doing them in a gemstone style using Warpstone Glow shaded with Coelia Greenshade and Nuln Oil and highlight with a spot of Moot Green.
Grey Seer is just a light neutral grey, so if you're not hell bent on a perfect match then any light neutral grey should probably do the job. I think most of the other citadel light greys aren't neutral. Administratum Grey perhaps, but that's a bit darker. Not every miniature needs to be blindingly bright on the tabletop. A rich and easy-to-apply colour is the perfect accompaniment to help the vibrant models in your army stand out even more. These paints will give you reliable and resplendent results with no fuss – ideal for the core colour of an army. Lastly, for silver metallic tones, I recommend using Runefang Steel, Ironbreaker, and Stormhost Silver. These paints can be used to add highlights and metallic accents to the miniature, providing a striking contrast to the matte Grey Seer – Spray base.Enamel based spray primers offer all of that and more, and are under half the price if you buy off brand like the one I mentioned. Queue Contrast paints - I get my hands on the new hotness that GW is throwing at us, and I'm thinking 'Hey, my metal primer is a pretty soft grey, maybe it'll be an okay match for Grey seer. I use the pot of the base paint I bought for touch ups and cleanup (I'm not exactly a neat painter) and put some on one of the primed mini's to look at how close they are - and promptly got floored - It's a perfect match (or perfect enough that I can't see the difference). The Adeptus Mechanicus, known for their intricate machinery and cybernetic soldiers, can benefit from the neutral, grey-toned base provided by Grey Seer – Spray. It can help accentuate the metallic parts and give a cohesive look to the army. Carefully edge highlight the red with Scalecolor SC-37 Antares Red. I even highlight into some of the shaded areas to add a bit of definition. With some kitchen towel laid out, give your brush some test blasts with your airbrush. Vary the distance between the brush and the towel and your airbrush and the brush until you find a level of spatter that works for you. You don’t want to head straight into doing this on your model or you risk wiping out a lot of your work.
If you want to see this process in more detail I’d recommend watching Cult of Paint’s excellent tutorial on preshading via their YouTube channel. new paints is a lot of colour to cover, so we’ve split the range into four simple categories to help you get an idea of what they look like. These new colours run the gamut from bright and bold to grimy and eerie – whether you’re painting a tank turret or a raging Endless Spell, there’s a pot here for you.I've dabbled with Testors during my early days, but just never grew on me. the contrast in glossiness always bothered me, and the acrylic paint rolled off the surface if it was watered down to wash level. How does thin acrylic stay on the product youre referring to? Paint makes Warhammer, and gorgeous miniatures are a key part of the Warhammer hobby. There’s nothing better than two epic-looking armies facing off on the battlefield, and we all take great enjoyment in sharing our proudest paint jobs on the internet. To help you keep creating incredible armies and jaw-dropping models, Citadel Colour are massively expanding the Contrast range, improving the range of amazing Shade paints, and creating the smoothest and brightest ever white spray – the best just got better. Apply decals, if you’re using them. I don’t have any floating around, so they’re absent from mine – but the official schema is a white battlefield role marker on the right shoulder, a blood drop over that denoting chapter, an ornate Arabic numeral on the right knee for the squad number, and the chapter icon on the left shoulder. In summary, Grey Seer – Spray is an excellent primer for a range of factions in the Warhammer 40K universe. By selecting armies that have a focus on armor, soldiers, machinery, guns, tanks, and infantry, such as the Adeptus Mechanicus, Death Guard, and Space Wolves, this primer can enhance the overall look and feel of the army.
