So what I am looking for is a simple (no more then 3 steps) way of painting white en masse.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/368890/2802635.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/368890/2802635.page GMT Looking for a quick and easy method of painting white
What I would do is prime the models white, spray them a pale colour, wash them a slightly darker hue, then dry-brush with white. I would do a trial model first, to get the techniques.

I might use different colours for different regiments, or mix them up a bit throughout the force.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/368890/2802834.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/368890/2802834.page GMT Re:Looking for a quick and easy method of painting white 1. Paint white areas with Astronimican Grey
2. Mix 50/50 astronomican grey and skull white and paint
3. Mix 30/70 astronomican grey and skull white and paint
4. Highlight with skull white

Yeh it's one step more, but it's quite quick and works well when you're batch painting.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/368890/2802865.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/368890/2802865.page GMT Looking for a quick and easy method of painting white
Next question is the shields I want the whole mass of gleaming white shields thing but except for extreme highlights Ive read that using a pure white is a no no. So what do I do go for a slighty off white?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/368890/2803756.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/368890/2803756.page GMT Looking for a quick and easy method of painting white

Well, here an example of my white


Pretty basic: Dheneb Stone basecoat, Devlan Mud wash, pure Dheneb Stone, 1:1 Dheneb Stone:Skull White, pure Skull White

I guess that works for the slightly off-white.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/368890/2807234.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/368890/2807234.page GMT
