For the bone-colored Deathwing armor, start out with an undercoat of Skull White Spray Paint. Then, basecoat the model with Graveyard Earth. Once the Graveyard Earth is dry, wash the model with some watered-down Brown Ink and make sure the wash gets in all the crevices.

Next, for the second basecoat, apply a 2:1 mix of Bleached Bone to Graveyard Earth. Leave the crevices unpainted so that the darker color shows through.


3 Now, edge the corners of the armor with straight Bleached Bone. Make sure you water down your paints to achieve a more subtle transition between basecoat and highlight.

For the final highlight, paint the very corners and edges with an even mix of Bleached Bone and Skull White. Before you paint the highlight, sometimes its helpful to see where the light is hitting the model and paint your highlights accordingly.
