Citadel Layer: Screaming Skull (12ml) – 2019
A warm bone/off-white Layer paint made for clean highlights and smooth layering—perfect for skulls, teeth, parchment, bone armor, and any scheme that needs a soft “aged white” highlight instead of pure white.
 
What it does
Built for crisp highlights and building up layers over Base paints.
Dries to a smooth matt finish for clean, readable detail.
Water-based acrylic, easy to thin and control.
 
How to use
Apply over a suitable basecoat (bone, beige, tan, or light grey tones).
Thin slightly and build up 2–3 thin layers for the smoothest finish. (Layer paints are meant to be layered.)
Use it for edge highlights, or as a final “clean-up” color to sharpen bone/ivory details.
 
Best for
Skulls, bones, horns, teeth, claws
Parchment, purity seals, scrolls
“Warm white” highlights on cloth and light armor panels

ChalkyDot Tip: If you want bone to look natural, stop at Screaming Skull for most highlights, then add only a pin-point of pure white on the sharpest tips (teeth edges, horn points). It keeps the bone warm instead of chalky.
