Last touches to remaining seven plastic skeletons, 3rd edition unit of mummies next and then... old zombie dragon or C21 cavalry
I'm not sure how to make them "glow." I just got bored with the green ghosts and skulls everyone else had, and I don't like the orange/red for Mannfred. So I made my own bluish layers. Chaos Black spray, then Celeste's Gray, Naggaroth Night, Lothern Blue, then a Praxeti White/Ethereum blue dry. Then I went back over the bone with abaddon black. What would I add to make them glow?@Alabaster427 Black bones are a good choice for this model. Are you planning to make those skulls etheral/glowing somehow like they do on the GW paintjobs?
I've made quite a bit of progress since my last post. I haven't added anything to the skulls, but there's at least some contrasting colors (other than black). Do you think they still need a glow effect?@Alabaster427 So they're blue - I couldn't tell it from the picture alone. I was wondering if you are making them normal bony skulls or something more supernatural - and now I know ;) But to make the effect more pronounced, hm... maybe some blue glaze in like GW Gulliman Blue paint, especially in the recesses. The same glaze could be used to 'cast some light' from those blue skulls upon the black bones.
I never actually used GW glazes, but if the work like other glazes, then it should be good too.
