which color should I use?

[orkblasta]

So I'm starting up a new scheme for my marines. It's a contrast between white and silver.

This is where I've run into a problem, I don't own the silver needed to paint the marines. I tried using chainmail and boltgun metal but their simply too dark of a silver.

My question is does a bright silver exist in the citadel paints or will I have to go else where or make my own color through mixing? Is mithril silver bright enough?

could anyone show me a pic of a model with mithril silver on it for comparison, the pics on GW aren't usually accurate.

cheers.

Have you tried priming white?

Mithril silver is a very bright silver, but I am supprised that you didn't find chainmail light enough.

[orkblasta]

Yes I tried priming white, it still didn't work.

glad to here that mithril silver is bright I'll have to give it a try.

cheers.

You could also try adding white paint to it. See if that works.

i'd go with mithril silver, (mainley beacause thats what i use) but because it is tonnes brighter than boltgun and every other army uses boltgun so it wil be a standout
