You cant really highlight white. You have to shade the white and be done with it. It depends on what kinda white you are going for. If you want a truely contrasting model, start with a black undercoat then some grey mid shades to the white. If you want less of a dramatic differance then use a blueish-gray as a basecoat then go to the white.

Go with a black under coat and then Adeptus Battlegrey foundation then white. I haven't really painted such a bright model before but thats how I'd do it. LOL My dread's already done. Bringing it in Thursday.
