2. Skeleton
Bright Bronze Armour
How to Paint
Oathmark Skeletons
from Scratch
Primed
Well he was primed and the washed in exactly the same way and Skeleton number one!
In fact I used the picture of him to illustrate the priming above as it was the same in all
respects (oh and I forgot to take a picture of number one in primer!). I’m not going to
repeat this bit as it’s to long.
Washed
I applied a coat of Mid Brown Wash all over the bones. I did go back a blob some more
on in places that I had either missed or I felt needed a bit more shade and I did remove
some of the bigger pools with my brush if to much had collected in particular place

polyurethane gloss varnish and set aside for 24 hours to
dry completely.

Matt Varnish
Then they were given two coats of Anti-Shine Matt
Varnish. Be even more careful when painting on the matt
varnish. Don’t use the spray version of the Anti-Shine Matt
Varnish as it can react with the Humbrol gloss.
Basing
The bases are 25mm square plastic ones that come with the
skeletons. I used superglue to stick the model in place,
blowing over them to prevent the glue whitening off on the
models.
I then filled in between the models bases and square base
with Hombase filler and then left that overnight to go hard.

The Paint
I used Army Painter War Paints to paint the
skeletons, mixing up colours to suit my style and
preferences. The names here reference The Mega
Paint Set provides an adequate range of colours for
almost all needs, but you will usually need to mix
colours to get the desired results.
