Amazing, many thanks for this.

There are also the fabulous contrast paints. Skeleton Horde is a lifesafer if you have a.... horde of bone to paint!

Thanks for the feedback Count Magpyr - do you have any examples of models painted with Skeleton Horde?

I did dabble with the Bonereapers for a while, but I sold those figures as I just failed to click with AoS. I have a pile of skellies waiting for my Blood Dragons and I'll be using Skeleton Horde on them (so many...), so I will post some of those once complete.
Can I just say that I am not a brilliant painter. 'Enthusiastic, but easily bored' is probably a fair description, I'm not setting myself up as any sort of authority!

Don't worry, we're all just helping each other out!
