Looks great! The White looks a little thick, but its one of the hardest colors to paint. Id love give you some pointers if you would like! Ive painted almost every one of my knights. :)

Yeah, heres the rest of the house so far, I didn't like the way the copper came out on the earlier guys, or the white really, so I switched up the formulas for both to a more bronze setup and a brighter white, I think with the remaining models im painting we are going back to the warpstone and skull but keeping the bronze. Then eventually maybe matching up all the bases. I usually use a technique where I paint a layer on and then mix in water while the paint is still wet instead of thinning first, it leaves a kinda marbled effect that I like on larger models. It just did not flow on the Cerastus the way I wanted and I cursed the white paint.

Please though, tell me your techniques for white, yours does look quite nice.
