Lunargent Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I just started 40K and decided to build a BA army. I tried painting a Death Company in White. Let me know what you all think...

Xenocidal Maniac Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 It's cool. White is an interesting take on them. I think it works. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/227453-just-started-40k/#findComment-2724794 Share on other sites More sharing options...
knife&fork Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Looks like you're struggling a bit with getting a solid layer of white. What kind of primer did you use?

Lunargent Posted April 14, 2011 Author Share Posted April 14, 2011 I used a black primer... not the best choice for white but that is what they had available. I will go for white next time.

A light grey car primer works well as a compromise. Pure white can be a bit too much for other colors, the reds in particular.

Taranis Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Welcome brother. Good looking models! Have you considered a chapter yet? Angels Encarmine use white for their DC.

Lunargent Posted April 15, 2011 Author Share Posted April 15, 2011 I was thinking about the Encarmine but I don't want my SG to be white... So far their shoulder pads are just flat black so I can add whatever I need to once I have made a decision.

Rybnick Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 A black primer is fine for white models all you need to do is put a decent layer of something less dark over that black primer while leaving recesses in the armor the black (for example the armor covering the hip and knee joints). I use Khemri Brown foundation paint from GW to cover black primed area on models I want to paint a light color. It works great as a base color for white, bleached bone, and gold. For yellows the foundation paint Iyanden Darksun works great over black paint and with a bit of wash and a golden yellow highlight makes a pretty bright yellow with minimal work.

AGPO Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Dhneb stone is a good base for white over a black undercoat. Angels Encarmine would be cool, but if you don't want to do white SGs why not have a coalition of successors for the defence of Baal? They're all gathered there (minus the Lamenters) so you'd have a good excuse.
