How about Imperial Fists?

As for your question, probably white first, dark wash/ink afterwards,
possibly rubbing wash off raised features before it had fully dried. I
thought chaos androids with the weapons choped down look like storm
troopers more than any other figures.

Now the sororitas are out it might be fun to do 40K Princess Leia and
friends. Daft Vader could be played by a Dark Angel, a tallarn Raider
for Obi Wan, any SF figure for bounty hunters, An Orlock Juve with
pistol for Han Solo, not sure about Chewie or Jabba.
