3 Colours Up: Painting Fleshy Bone With Dallas
June 15, 2017 by crew
Dallas from Privateer Press has joined us in the studio to paint a Bone Techniques for Thagrosh, Prophet of Everblight for Hordes.
Bone can be a pain to correctly establish on some models, especially if they're tearing out of the fleshy mitts of a Hordes Warlock. However with a few simple techniques of basing with Leather Brown and layering lighter colours and inks to the scene all the way to highlighting it can be very easy for anyone to accomplish!

great work on the demon.

So happy for this series, just wish there was more depth.
Spinning the brush on my hand offers 2 things. First, it sharpens the point of the brush. Second, it allows me to see the flow of the paint from the brush to ensure I am not overloading and I have good consistency.
I was fortunate to spend about an hour with Dallas today at Origins and it was quite the educational experience. It seems that Privateer Press brings him to many of the shows and he is available to talk to people at them. If you get the opportunity to see Privateer at a show ask if he is there and definitely spend time with him. He is very forthcoming and open with tips and help. I can not say enough about the experience. My thanks goes out to Privateer for bringing him along and allowing us the hobbyists access to his… Read more »
My favorite part of my job is teaching others. Please, if you see me at a show, catch a live stream, or even see me at the shop, come up and ask me questions 🙂
Always painted with Citadel paints just due to availability and locality to go grab something. Can anyone tell me where I can pick up some P3 paints? Would like to give them a try 🙂
@kipper81 if your in the UK Element games stocks them
