Total Tutorial

This is what we're going for.


The bone color of Deathwing, or similar colored items.

The process is spray black/white. My white sucks, so I use black.


Then I use a coat of Dheneb Stone (GW Foundation paint).

Let that completely dry

Then I give it a wash of (GW) Red ink, Brown ink, Yellow ink, Flesh Wash, and the new Brown ink (don't know the name). It was just something I poured all my warm-toned inks into, and added the Brown ink to get more volume.

LET THAT COMPLETELY DRY. OVER NIGHT or 1+ hours.

So I guess its about 6 layers. I opted to not use the same model, as the sergeant was the one I was going to paint next, but the tutorial needed something without the brown. But they're all the same right? Just use thin layers, and all will be well.
1st layer.

2nd layer.

4th layer.

6th layer.


The paint I used was VMC Pale Sand (007) and VMC Dark Sand (123). I mixed them in a 3 oz. container, and added some water. My first few layers (original test model, not this one) came out with streaks, so I added more water. I'm quite happy with the results I achieve now. I haven't started highlighting this or the test model, so that will have to be another part of the tutorial, but I plan on using VMC Pale Sand (007) for it.

For highlighting, I went on doing something semi-experimental. It is very hard to see in the pictures, but you should be able to get the idea.
I used VMC Pale Sand (007) for the first highlight. I put some at the top-most part, and just slowly pulled down. It was semi-drying already, so it spread nicely.

I then used VMC Ivory (005) for the second. I did it the same way, except I didn't pull down as far.


And thats how I get the bone shade in my Deathwing.
