Games Workshop Citadel Pot de Peinture - Contrast Skeleton Horde (18ml)

Product Information

If skeletons are your thing, the Deathrattle Sepulchral Guard might be a good place for you to head next. A relatively inexpensive push-fit set, whilst these guys don’t have the personalisation options of the Skeleton Warriors, they’re nonetheless a nice handful of varied and interesting miniatures that would look great at the head of your skeleton army. A little more dynamic than their Skeleton Warrior cousins, the Sepulchral Guard would make a nice addition to any skeleton army. When you command a horde to move, roll a d8. The horde gains a bonus to its Armor Class equal to the result until it stops moving.

The "Hordes" section presents the rules for turning a group of monsters into a single horde, and provides nine example hordes. These examples are ready for use in combat, but also are presented as guides to help DMs create their own unique hordes, using other creatures. Runefang Steel: Silver and metallic colors can be used to highlight and add details to a miniature, and Runefang Steel is an excellent option for this. Used sparingly, Runefang Steel can help highlight specific areas and add visual interest to the miniature. but not so effectively that it drains the area of *all* the paint, leaving a pale spot instead of a dark spot.

Bronze details got Army Painter True Copper (you can swap it for GW Balthasar Gold), a wash of Agrax Earthshade, and a highlight of Canoptek Alloy. Leather details were basecoated with Zandri Dust, washed with Snakebite Leather contrast, and highlighted with Baneblade Brown. For the both fur colors, I started with a basecoat of Grey Seer. Brown fur got hit with Aggaros Dunes and drybrushed with Screaming Skull. White fur got Apothecary White and a VERY careful drybrush of White Scar.

I'm with you on the "airbrush look", I'm not a fan of it either. I much rather prefer washes and dry brushes over other colors. Bones. The maximum amount is increased by 1 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 0-5 with Looting III. Skeletons are also a great way for beginners to practice some highlighting techniques. When I painted my first batch of Stormcast Eternals and started edge-highlighting in light gold, I found the process to be really unrewarding and dull, as gold on gold still looks like gold, so the effect isn’t obvious to a more unskilled painter. I only started noticing a real difference when it came to spot highlighting. But with skeletons, I find the difference is clear from the get-go. Horde. The horde can occupy another creature's space and vice versa, and the horde can move through any opening large enough for an individual creature within the horde. Additionally, the horde is immune to any spell or effect that would alter its form. The DC for this saving throw is equal to 8 + the horde's proficiency bonus + the commander's Charisma modifier.

Now let's take a brief look at some alternate systems for running monster hordes. Alternate System: The Dungeon Master's Guide Mob Rules However, the GW Mechanicus Standard Grey, the Testors Gray and the Rustoleum/Krylon gray primers are quite a bit darker. They are kind of rogues on this list. I wouldn't use them as first choices to use with the Contrasts. Put it this way. The Contrasts weren't TECHNICALLY designed to be put over a gray that dark, but to a certain point you can use gray and it will work. But there's a cutoff point. The three I have on the list are about as dark as you can go with a gray primer and still have the Contrasts actually still be able to be show up on them. Anything darker and it would probably cancel out many if not most of the Contrast colors in the range.
