Prime black and do 2-3 drybrushes in in progression working towards white. The first drybrush is a heavy drybrush where you are getting pretty much everything except the deep recesses.
Queso amarillo y blanco, las navajas, están podentro. Tacos, burritos, lingüini, perechini, martini, bikini. Siplemente lo golpeas, viene con dos navajas, y tapa. Mantiene el queso fresco.

I agree with you and found that when Im doing my first layer of grey, I need to cover almost 90% of the figure and make sure that the black stays only in the darkest and most recessed parts. Also, I use 2 grey layers to help further blend the shadows. Slap Chop, imo, sacrifices the blending of shadows in favor of saving time.
Hmm. For straight GW, I might go with Grey Seer base, Ulthuan Grey major highlight over most of the model, leaving the underneath as the darkest shadows of Grey Seer, then Wraithbone on top of that for the top level “sunlit” areas.
But I'd like to try and paint my next batch of models with a lighter, brighter scheme than my usual grime ridden lads. I'd be using whites and yellows etc, and from what I understand white or yellow on black primer seems to be asking for trouble, but slap chop seems to really rely on the dark to bright underpainting.
Slap chop is an adaptation of simplified underpainting techniques that uses the new contrast style paints to save a ton of time. In other words, "slap chop" is an (awesome, game changing) speedpainting/beginner approach whereas versions of underpainting/value highlighting under normal acrylics (combined with glazes, washes, etc) is an advanced technique that adds time to produce better results.
With the slap chop craze blowing up all over YouTube I’ll admit for certain colour schemes I’d love to try it at some point. My only concern though, is it doesn’t seem to work as well for darker colour schemes like Caliban Green or in this case, Dark Angels Green contrast paint.
Slap Chop is about setting up a gradient prior to applying a single thin coat of contrast paint. In this way you save a lot of contrast paint, which is expensive, and still get a really really great effect, honestly, usually better than the regular contrast painting. Also, you can take this slap chop method to an extreme rather easily.
I am interested in the slap chop technique, but I find the black sometimes too black. So I'm wondering if I could start with a dark grey (so Citadel's Mechanicus standard grey, or AP Uniform Grey, even if there are no so dark). As contrast paint is primarily transparent, this means it's not able to tint the pure black part when using a black ...
Can't you try soft drybrushing the two (?) tones of color you went up from the base color on your NMM version after the slap chop (before painting details and rims ofc) and see how that looks? If that would bring it closer to the vibrancy of your NMM, go slap chop, otherwise I vote for NMM , way more interesting to look at, and is also more fabulous to please the dark prince.
