@ Sageheart- Yea, that was the one thing I was thinking of as an alternative, but I'm worried that the white, no matter how chipped/dirted will sway him less from crusader-inspired, to muscle-bound, shirtless-crusader...
@Finnan- Hey! Thanks for stopping by and thanks for the advice. I might take a bit of that- maybe bronze parts of (the plate over the wrist, for example) to break up the color, and that might be enough for it. (or somehow mesh it with the white, iron/steel, and bronze...?)
Thanks guys! Still looking for more ideas in case that "Holy

! That's it!!" comes along! Good stuff, and again, thanks for stopping by!
