hello i'm fairly new to these forums but i was wondering if anyone had any tips or tutorials on speed painting white. I am making an army similar to the mentor chapter and don't want to do 20 layers of white to get it to look good
I'm looking at doing a 5 man squad everyday

peace

If found a couple of dry brushes in white will give you a really nice solid white. I cant actually paint white to save my life, but drybrushing it only takes about 3 quick tries and its gold...er white

thanks for all the help but is there any better white paints out there because i find that the white is especially hard to speed paint with. Is there a company that makes a thicker, faster drying white perhaps.

Might be a little blasphemy but P3 paints are a bit thicker. I use the yellow from them for undercoats cause it goes on evenly with with one layer VS yellow GW Paints. I also did use Reaper white paint in the past, worked ok....
