You didn't mention having one but a flash meter is key to photographing with indoor lighting especially monolights. You simply can't guess at the lighting because the flashes fire way too fast for any guess to me accurate.
The nice things about the White Lightnings you have is that you can vary the power at the head so you aren't having to move the light backwards and forwards to control the amount of light that hits your subject.
Depending on your camera it will synch with the strobes at either 1/60, 1/125/ or 1/250. Once you determine the synch speed aim for an f-stop of either F5.6 or F8 depending. If you want a greater depth of field you can close down or if you want a shallower depth of field you can open up as you need.
The critical factor in this is the use of a flash meter. Good luck and remember to post the results for us to see.
