Hear da Lamentation Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I'm modelling my ThunderWolf Guard Battle Leader at the moment. He has the KrakSword and I've been trying to paint the sword like a piece of bone. Does anyone have any tips of photos of theirs?

Frater Cornelius Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I use a Bone Sword from the Tyranid Warrior box. Here is my scheme: Zandri Dust base with standard brush -> Reikland Fleshshade wash -> Ushtabi Bone layer on raised areas -> Screaming Skull highlights (all names are Citadel colours) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297869-krakenbone-sword-painting/#findComment-3830998 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vash113 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Honestly when I do bones I use an off-white base, then a solid white, or Ceramite White, then wash with Gryphonne Sepia. Add the wash liberally and let dry with the tip of the bone, tooth or claw being painted pointed up and the base down. This allows the wash to settle more heavily towards the base of the object and thinner at the tip giving a nice, bone gradient. Quick, simple, virtually painless.

Fenhunter Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I'm using the tip of a spear from the Bloodcrusher kit as both the Svellbrand and the Krakenbone sword Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297869-krakenbone-sword-painting/#findComment-3831852 Share on other sites More sharing options...
