I was looking for a way to speed up my painting and decided to try airbrushing contrast. As you can see, the result is fairly decent considering the time spent. What you see here is a zenithal priming (black, grey then white) followed by airbrushed skeleton horde (with about 20% thinner in it).

      The flow was great with simply 20% thinner and no flow improver (I was afraid it would break the surface tension and ruin the contrast effect).

      The fact that I did the entirety of leviathan in one batch probably helped limit the drying time in the airbrush, and prevented clogging the airbrush.

        Man, this sounds great. Would you mind sharing how you did the entire process?

          All 4 steps done with an airbrush: Prime Vallejo Black, then Zenithal Vallejo Grey, then one spray directly from above with Army painted white (any white should do). Finally, I just sprayed Skeleton Horde until it started pooling, at which point I stopped to avoid over spraying.

        That’s great to hear. I have some sculpts printing and am inspired to give this a try now. Thank you!
