I plan on painting a kit-bashed Ordo Malleus Inquisitor Terminator and wanted him with white armor. The problem is that white is hard to paint and I've never done it before. So after several attempts, this is what came out the best.

The Inquisitor is going to have a lot more cloth then this guy and I plan on painting it a deeper red with gold trim.






Appreciate any advice or comments.

Are you going to play grey knights or marines, if marines have you considered white scars, they look similar.

I really like the model though the light grey/white looks good and the white and red go well with it to help break it up, better white than I can do certainly.

Love the grey, and the red. Personally, I'd prefer to see the eyes either blue or green. Think these colours just compliment the red a bit better, and although the glow from the eyes is really well done, because its yellow, it's kinda lost a bit in the helmet highlights.

I'd also perhaps think about making the chest Aquila the same colour as the crux on the left shoulder. Just to differentiate it from the chapter badge and just to limit the amount of red on the model. With accent colours on predominately white/grey/black schemes, I've always though less is more.

Really like the scheme overall though. And it's really well done. Again, the grey is great. Beg good to see more.

Hrmmm.... Hmmmmmmm.... Hummmrmmmm... Hrmmmm
I Have come to the conclusion.... I really dig it! Two thumbs up!

AlanmackenzieI,

Completely agree with you, green eyes would really make them pop out over the yellow, problem is I don't have a green pure and bright enough to work with. (It's on my list of paints to buy) As for the chest Aquila, spot on, if this wasn't a test color scheme it would be painted gold with a silver dagger (darker gold pops more on white) but I went for red. My Inquisitor's front is a tabard from chin to shin, so I tried to put as much singular color in the front as possible for simulations sake.

Satin_One, and easy way to do green eyes is to paint the eyes white and use a "Biel-Tan Green" wash. You will get darker areas around the edges of the eyes, and a lighter color as it progresses to the middle, and so isn't the same method you used for your eyes on there though.
