shortysl Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I'm aware this topic should most likely be in the PCA forum but i'm also aware that no one on this forum has more experience of painting Bleached Bone than Dark Angels. My painting style is very 'clean', that is to say i basecoat, then maincoat, then detail. I don't highlight and i don't use washes (last time i used a wash it turned my terminator orange). After 14 years in the hobby, and after seeing some of the amazing models on these forums, i need to improve my painting technique. I appreciate any input that can be given, i'm mostly after shadow/highlighting techniques on terminators and robes but any advice is good advice as far as i'm concerned. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Fisting Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 It's simple really. Basecoat with bleached bone, wash the whole model with brown, paint the main plates with a 50/50 mix of bone and white leaving the brown-washed bone showing in the recesses, then highlight the armor's edges with thin lines of pure white. That takes care of the armor, then you can go back and paint all the details. Hope this helps! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Master Belial Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I switched to Vallejo paints but here is my method. Basecoat Bestial Brown 1st coat 50/50 Snakebite Leather / Bleached Bone 2nd coat Bleached Bone (Bone is typically thin so the above is just to lighten it up) Highlight 50/50 Bone / Skull White Another style that is in the Librarium is the Storm Ghost tutorial that uses a streaked method that give bone an interesting look. I have used it on some of my minis and I am happy with the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Master Neo Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 spray paint black light base of bubonis brown flesh wash (or anybrown wash) all recesses touch up bubonic brown to the edge of recesses bleached bone leaving some areas of bubonic in 'shadow' areas slight highlights of white works well for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Lucifer Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Or simpler: results may vary: Undercoat white, paint with bleached bone and apply GW wash devlan mud. It will look much simpler than the methods described above, but it's fast and complication free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
