What armies to paint with Praxeti White
There are several Warhammer 40K factions that can be painted with Praxeti White. As an expert in the field, I have found that the following armies are well-suited for use with this paint:
- Imperial Guard – The Imperial Guard is a formidable force in the Warhammer 40K universe, and the use of Praxeti White as a base coat on their armor and machinery gives them a clean and pristine look. The bright white contrasts well with the darker colors often used for the Guard’s vehicles and equipment, and adds a sharp edge to the army’s appearance.
- Adeptus Mechanicus – The Adeptus Mechanicus is a tech-priest faction, and their soldiers and machines are often adorned with intricate details and mechanical components. The use of Praxeti White as a base coat for these details provides a clean and crisp foundation for further painting, and helps bring out the intricate details on their models.
- Space Marines – Space Marines are the quintessential army of the Imperium, and Praxeti White provides a perfect base for the iconic blue and black power armor. The bright white helps to highlight the sharp edges and curves of the armor, and contrasts well with the deeper colors often used for their equipment and weaponry.
These are just a few of the many armies that can be painted with Praxeti White, and the decision to list these factions was made based on the balance of color and contrast that this paint provides, as well as its ability to serve as a strong foundation for further painting and detailing.
