How to Paint - Bone Armour

Thanks again for doing this for me, I really love how you listened & asked the right questions to bring my idea to life. Really looking forward to painting my own with the painting guide you sent me on Discord. You're the best Juan!

Wow this is an incredible scheme. I've been stuck trying to figure out how I want to do bone coloured chaos space marines, and have tried a few different methods of painting. I really love the tonal variation you bring out with the warm recesses and colder highlights. It also looks like it's pretty fast to paint - which is a huge plus! Good job!

[@ivaneeh4211]

Dear Juan, I loved your video and wanted to recreate the effect! At first I failed miserably, the colour was kinda patchy and not in the least as smooth as yours. Of course I cursed your name, burned an Hidalgo-Effigy and prayed to God to smite you. But then I added some water and hooray, it worked :D Maybe you'd want to tell us noobs next time to at least use a moist brush :)

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

You know what? That's a very good advice because I do that without thinking and maybe I should tell that in my videos. It's just the way I load the brush always and I never thought about it really. Thanks

[@ksilk4224]

Lmao the clips are definitely a good touch

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks! I think entertainment is important as well as education

[@zm0rc]

How would you do this type of work with contrast paints on a vehicle? Like a boxy rhino or some such. Love contrast paints but the effects on large flat surface dont look great.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Short answer would be you don't. Long answer is you go panel by panel, use the largest brush you have and try to do each panel in one brushtroke, move the brush in the direction you want your shadows to go. Once the panel I done with a clean brush absorb the excess pooling.

[@RW-Navigator]

Hey Juan, i really like how you use contrast paints for multiple things. what contrast paints would you recommend?

Hola Juan! Lo primero de todo agradecerte tus tutoriales y trabajo, ayudas muchísimo a que mejoremos día a día nuestras habilidades con este nuestro hobby. Mi pregunta es, la imprimación realmente es corax White ? Es que he retomado el hobby unos años después y han cambiado mucho las pinturas y sus nombres, es exactamente igual al mítico spray Skull White de citadel?? Eskerrik asko y enhorabuena por tu trabajo 👏

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Gracias a ti por ver lo que hago! Si, la imprimación blanca ahora se llama Corax White. El Skull White de antaño dejo de fabricarse. Corax es un poco más gris que Skull y por lo menos para mí es mejor así. Me encanta ese muy leve tono gris que tiene personalmente. Por cierto, yo soy de Bilbao 😊

[@aitormas5310]

@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures muchas gracias ! Es que al ver los vídeos en los que usabas corax White percibía ese tono gris ... Y al llevar tanto tiempo desconectado del hobby por eso pregunte... 🤭😜😇😇 Por otro lado hay unas imprimaciones contrast en gris , creo que se llama Grey Seer, las recomiendas ?

[@banhammer7243]

Just out interest has you thought about doing the recess shade first? I like the method but recess shading is the messy part for me, so I would use this method, but recess first, clean up, then use the over all Skeleton/Medium mix wash.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

That's actually not a bad I'd if you find recess shading hard. There are a couple reasons why I don't do it myself. First is some Contrast Paints are more opaque than others (like Apothecary White) and they will cover over that lining. Secondly the Skeleton Horde will wash out the warmth of the Fyreslayer Flesh and the results won't have such a nice tonal variation. That being said it will definitely work

Hey Juan, how was the gold arm and trim done? Thank you.

This is perfect for Excoriators, allowing you to spend more time putting battle damage on the creepy masochists. Also, this color scheme is very similar to what I paint my Rotbringers armor, except it's a good bit more efficient I think. Dang it now I might have to repaint their armor 😆

Is guilliman fleshtone or reikland flesh an acceptable substitute for the fyreslayer?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Not really no, too light sorry.

[@Chickenlegs145]

@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures I see. What about diluted Cygor brown? Or would that be too dark?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Way too dark but you can dilute it with a lot of medium. Snakebite leather can work too, I've used it in Jain Zar but gives a different hue.

[@PotionMan]

Do you mix on the spot or have some prep? I was thinking of dumping a pot of each into a extra glass ink bottle i have and wasn't sure if it was the right move

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

I have some droppers of the mixes I use the most like the Black Templar 1:3 for example. I also do droppers for the custom mixes for each army I'm doing. For example I have three droppers for my undead, Nihilakh Oxide 1:1, Akhelian Green 1:4 and Coelia Greenshade 1:4 that way I don't need to mix and I'm certain all the army has the exact same tint

[@PotionMan]

Okay because i like this bone technique and have a ton of spare dropper bottles. Does it only work on corax white/white acyrlic in general or do you get a similar result say from grey seer?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

@@PotionMan only Corax white (that is a very light grey) for the exact same look, over Greyseer you will get a very desaturated and dark bone, with Wraithbone you will get a much more intense and saturated bone and with pure white an slightly lighter bone colour. Hope that helps.

@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures I want to use this on some Ulthwe but how can I get a similar effect without using contrast?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

If you don't want to use contrast for the bone parts, I would recommend a Basecoat of Wraithbone, a wash with a 1:1:1 mix of Seraphim Sepia, Reikland Fleshade and Lahmian Medium, then a recess shade of Mournfang Brown diluted with water. You can then neat up with Wraithbone if needed, then edge highlights of Pallyd Witch Flesh and White. I think that could be a good bone colour

I plan on using this method for some Death Company, Sanguinary Guard, and Assualt Termies. What colors did you use for the eyes? They look fantastic.
