Does anyone know where I can get a white micron pen? I've checked a couple of places online, and have found a wide variety of colored micron pens but none in white. Does anyone know of a place that makes them?

Thanks in advance.

I imagine you are looking for scrollwork on dark colored armor correct? I'm wanting to do the same thing for some Inquisition Guard I have.

They don't do white on the site I bought all my other ones from, never saw one before I'm afraid.

Yeah, it's actually for a friend of mine. He wants to do some white scrollwork on his ultras.

Yeah thats what I'm finding out. I can find pretty much every color but white.

I think you may be looking for something that doesn't exist, as micron pens use ink, and there's no such thing as white ink.

Pot of Skull White and a very small brush, I'm afraid.

Would these be of interest?

Just check out the brand names in the states and I'm SURE you will find something you need.

Mr. Burning thank you!!

Those look like they will work.

Sakura (makers of the wonderful Pigma Micron pen line) also makes paint markers. My girlfriend just picked up a Pen-Touch White, 1mm Fine Point on our last trip to Michael's, an incredibly generic craft store. If they have them there, I'm sure you can find better and finer ones if you look around a dedicated art store. Otherwise, go the online route - Mr. Burning's links look like good leads.

Any of these fine enough to do eyes with? I use .5mm micron pens for black but have to hand paint the white which is a nightmare.

Stick to hand painting the white, usinga white liner is just as difficult if not more so.

Thinnest I've ever found are the Pigma 0.2mm, those are just about ok for doing eyes.

As a bearer of Lorgar's word, I definitely need one. Let me know if anyone can find a .005 white micron pen. So far I think, they don't exist.

If OP is thinking about going with the suggested paint-markers - I have some xp with them.

I did not find them particularly useful for miniatures. In order to get the paint thin enough to flow, it had to be pretty watery. As a result, it needed a lot of passes (like 5-6) to have enough coverage to look right.

I was using standard miniature acrylic though, which was before I was aware there was such a thing as acrylic ink. I'm curious as to if it would be useful in paint-pens.

This thread is from 2011 guys

Feel free to start up a new one if you're looking for these pens, but I'm going to lock this relic up
