im in the middle of painting my White Death company and i struck a problem. I dunno what colour to use to highlight white power armour.


just thought id post it up here and see what other people use on their white power armour

White is the lightest colour in your palette. This means you have to start darker. often seen creams, greys and blues used as the shade colour.

Easy way is to was white model with an watered down ink or paint.

Ironically, to pull off white you don't want most of your model to be white, only the brightest highlights. Choose a tone for your white and highlight up from there. Cool white (blue), neutral white (grey), and warm white (bleached bone/cream) are what you see most commonly, but technically you can shade up from anything (green, purple, etc.)

White is a tough color to pull off, just warning you up front.
