How to Paint Clean Smooth White (no airbrush required!) Featuring the Shining Spears for Eldar
0#warhammer40k #mediocrehobbies #painting
Hi guys! Today we're talking about white paint. The bane of many hobbyists. It's hard to get good coverage, it takes forever to build up and mistakes show up so much more than with any other colour. I myself avoided painting white, especially panels unless I was using an airbrush, for many years until I ventured away from Games Workshop white paint, and discovered artist quality acrylic paint. In this video I'm using The White from the Kimera Kolors range, but here's a tip-any tube of quality acrylic paint will give you a better result than Corax White. You can pick up a tube of Titanium White from your local artist store, or order online. This will cost more than a pot of white paint from GW, but it's worth the investment and it will last a lot longer as well (without separating!). There's two grades to look out for depending on how much you are willing to invest-professional/artist quality, or student/hobby.
If you'd like to try out the Kimera Kolors range, they have a kickstarter running from April 20th, during which you can pick up their paints as well.

If you are looking to pick up some paint from an artist shop, look out for brands like Winsor and Newton, Daley Rowney and Liquitex.
As always if you have any questions about anything in the video, please let me know and I will answer as best as I can!
Hope this tutorial helps you with painting not just the new Eldar Shining Spears bikes, but also with painting white in general for your Warhammer 40k, Age of Sigmar or even D&D models!
