Good scheme, though!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/795705/11042047.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/795705/11042047.page GMT White/Gold/Purple Paint Scheme
Other than that, the scheme is good and could be used on numerous types of minis.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/795705/11042052.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/795705/11042052.page GMT White/Gold/Purple Paint Scheme That is all.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/795705/11042128.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/795705/11042128.page GMT Re:White/Gold/Purple Paint Scheme
If you were painting white using the classic citadel paint lines, what would you use?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/795705/11042186.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/795705/11042186.page GMT Re:White/Gold/Purple Paint Scheme
As for contrast paints, I have only used one, and that's Talassar Blue, so I can't help you there.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/795705/11042194.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/795705/11042194.page GMT Re:White/Gold/Purple Paint Scheme

That being so, I have seen decent results with the Apothecary White contrast over Wraithbone, then using white scar for highlights. I would then use the classic paint lines for the purple and gold features. Is this board just wholly against contrast paints, or is the contrast white not a great paint?

I don't use Citadel paints. Very odd in this place, I know. But that said, I have several videos on the subject of white and purple.

As for the Apothecary White? It's Ok. Not great, but not bad if you want it done really quick.
I've painted this scheme myself on my Cephalyx, although without the gold.

There's a ton of great tutorials out there, but the two big things that changed white for me was avoiding shading it with grey, and using airbrush paint white. I have Createx opaque on my rack but imagine most airbrush whites are equally nice and smooth.

White can be shaded with almost *any* pastel colour. Cream, blue, yellows, pale olive-brown, pink - they all look dramatically different. Greys end up making most white models look dirty; fine if that's what you're after, but for a purple/gold scheme I'd go straight to shading with a khaki or cream. Warm colours will complement the gold and royal purple far better than grey. If you do want to go with a cold white, a bluish-purple shade will also work - can even see some of that reflected in the upper parts of the uniform in your picture, on the curves of the shoulders.

Sounds fine to me. But what's "KO"? (sorry - newb).

I think it depends on the army. It would look totally bizarre on Astra Militarus or Nurgle for example. Gold and purple will give it a very "royal" look and feel. The white will make it feel "clean" and "pure". If those things match whatever you had in mind, I'd say go for it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/795705/11042341.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/795705/11042341.page GMT White/Gold/Purple Paint Scheme

KO = Kharadron Overlords (Age of Sigmar). IMO, there seems to be more flexibility in paint schemes in AoS.

Those metallic purples look really promising.
