Okay, you first have to undercoat it with black spray - citadel only, non of the other crappy spray (we don't endorse citeldel spray however it is the best and will always be the best).</div> <bR> <div> Okay its black now so you can paint it ether bestial brown or snakbite leather depending on how dark you want it to be. Once you've done that you can highlight almost all the bone areas only leave the very top of the bone its original colour. Time to go one step further and add a bit more bleached bone and highlight the very edge. Now you have a basic skelly it sould look like this. </div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> Picture Unavailable</div> <bR> <div> Now to base it! I have many a problems when basing models. It either looks totally kool or it's a total failure. Paint PVA glue on the top of the base and put sand onto it. Paint it black and drybrush it bleached bone. Finally add a small patxch of static grass to some of the models.</div> <bR> <div> Well, now you can paint bone.</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id150.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Warhammer Fantasy"><U><<Back to Warhammer</U></A></div> <bR> <div> This not answer your painting and modelling needs? <A HREF="id25.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Contact"><U>click here</U></A> to email us a <A HREF="id25.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Contact"><U>question</U></A>, or <A HREF="id70.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Painting Guide"><U>here</U></A> to try another level of skill.</div> <bR> <div> Is there anything you would like to add or a section/technique you think should be added to the painting guide? why not send us an <A HREF="id335.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Contributons"><U>email</U></A> about it.
