Citadel Contrast: Skeleton Horde – miniature paint (18ml)

Contrast is a revolutionary paint from Citadel Colour that makes beautiful painting simple and fast. Each Contrast paint, when applied over a light Contrast undercoat, gives you a vivid base and realistic shading all in a single application.

Skeleton Horde is a versatile and essential colour for any miniature painter's collection. Contrast paint provides a base coat, shading, and highlights on your model all in a single application. This particular colour is ideal for painting skeletal figures, giving them an eerie, authentic look, but it works just as well as a substitute for classic light bone and skin tones — such as Bone, Bleached Bone, Ancient Beige, or Pale Brown — on any element requiring that kind of hue. Rich pigmentation and smooth consistency ensure a professional, high-quality finish on your models. Contrast paints need to be applied over an undercoat of either Wraithbone Spray or Grey Seer Spray — Wraithbone gives a warmer final tone, Grey Seer a cooler one — letting the colour fully shine through. The paint's unique formula flows smoothly onto the miniature, blending effortlessly and creating depth, meaning even new painters can achieve impressive results with minimal effort.
