Hello, I just got Dark Vengeance, and was looking at painting the Chosen Marines to resemble Imperial Stormtroopers from Star Wars. While the first attempt looked nice, with white armour and black detailing and cloth, with silver for the chainmail, the white armour looked dull, especially on the raised areas. Would there be any way to make these raised areas a whiter white, or somehow stand out against the lower areas of the armour? I was thinking I might have to pick a different colour, but I'd love to avoid that if I can. Thanks

Painting white is trickier than it seems.
Going pure white won't look as clear as one would like; Going with a very light grey (working your way up by adding more and more white to your colour) works better. Then do the final highlights on the areas you want with pure white.

Pretty much what is stated above.
