Following on from part two - I have set out in photos how I finish the skeleton painting. A technique which is very quick, but I hope you agree effective.
Photo One - Shows some additional highlighting on the bones. Mainly pure Skull White applied with a fine pointed brush.

The axe handle is a mix of Stonewall Grey from Vallejo and Snakebite Leather from Games Workshop. While the axe head was built up over Beastial Brown with a mix of Games Workshop metalics. The final highlight was a small touch of Hot Orange from Vallejo.
Photo Four - The groundwork was first painted a very pale cream - actually a tester pot of acrylic paint from Dulux - Antique Pine. I have a number of these pots and keep them specifically for basing. It is my intention that should I ever get around to building a Typhon gaming board I will use this Dulux paint as the base colour.

There you have it, my recipe for painting skeletons. In the next instalment I will detail my varnishing regime and how I finish off the bases.
