henrywalker Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 suprisingly my question is not how to paint white, I've worked that part out. my chaos marines are white with a dark gold trim and a few deep red accents. My question is how do i paint the bones and skulls and other bone coloured things? normally htey are pretty easy, bleached bone followed by sepia wash and there you have it. however i've tried that and the bone blends into the white and doesnt stand out as much as i would like. i guess the answer is to go browner. any suggestions?

Olis Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Perhaps do them bronze or silver? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/261782-white-chaos-marines/#findComment-3186323 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konstantin the Apostate Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 That would interest me too, since i'm planning on making a Sons of Malice Chaos renegade Army, and they are, in all availible fluff, black and white with some red accents too.

Panda_ Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Were not Sons of Horus white with green trims (and rivets) with bronzes highlights ? You're close to their scheme Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/261782-white-chaos-marines/#findComment-3186391 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urauloth Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 If you want them to look like they're actually made of bone then yeah, you'll have to go darker. A lot depends on how you're doing your white - if it's done with a cool tone basecoat/shading, for example, then you'll want warm colours for the bone, and vice versa. A pic of one of your minis would make it MUCH easier to advise.

Kierdale Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Or do the skulls in the same deep red you're using for other details. Give it significance in your army/warband. Part of their fluff. In my 1kSons at first I was cutting off all the skulls (as my army is Great Crusade-era rather than the morbidity of 40k) but eventually started painting them up as jade and having it as a marking of that particular Expedition. Just an idea. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/261782-white-chaos-marines/#findComment-3187043 Share on other sites More sharing options...
