Ossiarch Bonereapers: My Next Two Years

I really like the black/grey bases, I think they pop with the brighter colors on the bone dudes. How did you get it to look like that?

I also ordered bases from Dragon Forge for my Bonereapers and I'm planning to paint mine grey/blackish. Great minds think alike!

Thanks for the feedback.

Three of them use the same basic idea. I primed them Wraithbone, painted the darkest color, then successively drybrushed lighter colors in a circular motion over the bases.

The brown one was slightly different in that I primed with Zandri Dust, washed with Seraphim Sepia, then did the drybrushing thing as above.

I've experimented more since then and will now be priming black instead, and heading straight to the drybrushing. The key is to use less and less paint and a lighter and lighter touch with each lighter color as you go.

 

Which bases did you pick for yours?

I actually went with a lot of the same ones you picked, but I also grabbed some of the other ones from different sets that kind of match a "ruined temple" feel.
