Title: [WM] some WIP´s of my Warmaster Undead Army (and Skaven)
Post by: Karadoc on June 25, 2010, 06:02:32 PM

Here are some WIP´s for my Warmaster Undead Army. I´m not so happy with the normal Bone colors of the Skelett´s particularly the chained Skelett at the Bonegiant. Some Idea´s ?
(And please forgive me my bad english)

Without even changing any color, I would advise your to paint deeper highlights to help the mini to stand out and improve mini "readability". Trust me, that would change the overall result a lot.

Regarding the color, this is more a matter or personal taste. The colors you've chosen and the way they are kind of mono-chrome are interesting because they are grey and dull, creating an "out of the tomb" atmosphere. Still, mono-chrome are somewhat more appropriate for 28mm...

If you want to change the bones color, you can paint the skels brown, brush them bone-white and lightly brush them pure-white. On the giant you will have to use highlights instead of brush if you want a perfect finish; and the add a bone-weathering effect you could wash it irregularly with a 80-20 mix of water-chestnut ink.
