I'm curious as to what difference you see thinning white with matte varnish as opposed to water.
White is tricky. I started a Biel Tan Eldar army recently, so I'm getting a lot of practice with white. Still haven't completely mastered it. For me it's getting the shading right that is really difficult. I struggle to get my shading to get to look anything close to the example here, such as the folds in the Farseer's cloak and the recesses in the helmet. I'm still trying to figure out how to get the shading transition to be this smooth when painting white.
Try it and tell me. I find that it makes the successive layers much easier to paint and it sticks better to the base layer of grey etc.
