Ohh how did you shade the armor?

I just used Games Workshop Nuln Oil but as lightly as possible.
Edit: I should also note it is only applied to the recesses with a thin brush.

You can also use a really thinned gray which is what I do as Nuln Oil can be a bit runny and sticky which gives you less control.
Um, something happened to ur links
Yeah can you update the links to the pics so I can see please.
Hopefully they work now. For some reason Photobucket just plain stopped working.
How do you differentiate squads?

Each leader model will have a different set of blue markings. The idea is that Vader shows up to take command with his elite 501st troopers and they take command of the regular troopers. So each unit leader will be unique.

And the regular troopers?

They won't be different. Just regular dudes in white armor. It won't be necessary to differentiate them 99% of the time. I don't really plan on mashing units together on the battlefield.

Non-Commanders in the Empire's 501st had 1 blue stripe on their armour.
This stripe was often down their leg, but sometimes shifted to match a preferred stripe on their commanders armour.

Thanks. The regular troopers aren't 501st, just under the command of Vader's retinue of elites.
If we get elite stormtrooper squads as special forces, those units will be pure 501st.

4:1 Nuln oil will get you there, two coats.
….nice max!...
Really like the Snowtroopers. Nice shade of blue and the contasting colors on the armor. I like the designs you have on your 501 troopers.
That Veers is crazy good. Well done!
