Hey chaps. I've just stripped my entire army of sisters to start over with white armour. Now, I've not really seen any in depth articles on this, so I'm hoping someone happens to know of one secreted away, or can offer advice.

Really I want a glowing ceramic look, which I'm having trouble acheiving with smooth consistency; suggestions thrown at me so far have consisted of:

just doing the whole thing white and black lining, which just makes it plastic and toylike.

Basing electric blue, going over space wolf grey, then highlighting to white with a few thousand thinned white glazes

Paint white, paint shadowed areas grey, blend them together; which unfortunately on my attempts have tended to look either dirty, or more like flat white NMM

Anyone got success stories with white armour, preferably with pictures? I'm aiming for the glowing white that are in some of the pictures of the codex (white with red robes, no name for the Order)

I know your pain... I play WS SM, I do it by spraying white, washing black in the recesses, then tidying up with white, looks like this (terrible pic alert!)

I use Dheneb Stone as a basecoat then white then wash with Bubonic Brown to shade it for my Bretonnians if that helps.

Start brown, work up using bleach bone then finally white. If you are working with red robes, the brown undercoat will be a nice complementary color.

Replied to your PM.
