Hi all,
Sorry for such a basic question but I'm new and trying to broaden my skills a little.

I got an old batch of ultramarine terminators and don't know how to do the heads. I've started with Celestra Grey as base, then Nuln Oil for shade, but now I want to layer something that looks like white but isn't so stark as white. Any suggestions? Searching on youtube and the forums didn't return me anything good quickly so I hoped one of you kind souls might help.

Ta!

If you started with a base coat Celestra Grey, and washed the entire helmet with Nuln Oil (not just the recesses), it shouldn't be a problem to highlight back up to Celestra Grey, and only pick out the sharpest edges with a white again for a real crisp edge highlight.

Ulthuan grey is these days my go-to colour when going toward white with pure white only in sharp edge highlights.
