The other question I have is the choice of wash color. For white ive seen a blue wash used but would even that little bit of blue all over the model add to much color for arctic camo? Black seems way to dark to use..or am i wrong on that? Is there a greyish wash for white?
Lastly...would all the above questions have different answers for infantry vs vehicle? I currently have a valkyrie to go along with the guardsman thats getting the same color scheme.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/543407/5902601.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/543407/5902601.page GMT
I use white primer for my models that are lighter in color, and black for the ones which ill be dark...etc.

Regarding colored primers, they are awesome.
However, they also have distinct surface textures, which could affect the way the washes and other layers flow - so again, do a test.

For example, washes flow differently on a very smooth (gloss coated) surface than they do on a surface with bite (primer, or matte).

So, again, to be sure, I would do a test model.

Best of luck!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/543407/5902714.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/543407/5902714.page GMT
Using the light grey as your base, instead, is another option, but it will change the look. You'll have to do some tests and see which scheme you prefer. If it's the grey, you needn't worry about your methods - that painting is nothing new, you may just have to apply a few layers of white to get a solid pattern.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/543407/5905479.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/543407/5905479.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/543407/5905503.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/543407/5905503.page GMT
