<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Would you consider this 'white' enough?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Would you consider this 'white' enough?

I'm painting an Craftworld Iybraesil army for my 2013 challenge. As it stands I own quite a lot of armies, yet I don't have a fully painted one. This year I decided to change that, and do a 2000 point Eldar army fully painted and based for the year 2013.

The main colors of Iybraesil are a tealish blue and white, and I'm hoping this arm-blade would do well enough to count as white. I'm not a great painter by any means. I've just recently been thinning my paints and doing successive coats (The teal is... 4 coats I think?).

Anyway, just looking for peoples opinions on this armblade. I apologize for the crappy photo, it was my iPhone (recently moved, can't find camera.)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/501535/5191617.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/501535/5191617.page GMT Would you consider this 'white' enough? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/501535/5191906.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/501535/5191906.page GMT Would you consider this 'white' enough? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/501535/5191922.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/501535/5191922.page GMT Would you consider this 'white' enough?

What is your process for white? I find that starting with a basecoat of Dheneb Stone or whatever the new equivalent is, provides a great base for painting whites and yellows.


I started with Eshin Gray, followed by a layer of Dawnstone. After that it was just layer after layer of thinned Dawnstone mixed with increasing amounts of White.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/501535/5192012.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/501535/5192012.page GMT Would you consider this 'white' enough? \

I don't have Vallejo paints where I live, just Citadel and Army Painter. (Being in the boonies sucks.)

The blue parts in the back, such as around the EML, the Flamer, and the Thigh Pads are either just bad brush control or the first blue.

If you mean the teal, It still hasn't been washed or highlighted yet. I want to get all the teal done before I start washing/highlighting.

EDIT: Plus I think my flash brightened the blue up a lot, it should be more like Hawk Turquoise.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/501535/5192874.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/501535/5192874.page GMT
