My original painting method involved a black undercoat and tedious amounts of grey > white colouring to achieve a half decent white armour. It looked OK, but the method was long winded and became a bit daunting when I realised just how many times I'd have to repeat the process.
This was until I got hold of the new washes.
The plan was simple - test Badab Black on a white undercoat. A quick splash later and the results were obvious.. it not only works, but it looks great!

From here the process was simple - restore the white areas with a drybrush of Skull White and highlight where neccesary.

Then paint the other base colours - black glaze for metal and blue for the pads and buckle.

Then add highlights and washes as required.
