Citadel Contrast: Skeleton Horde (18ml) 
A warm bone / aged parchment Contrast paint that gives you basecoat + shading + highlights in a single coat—perfect for skeletons, skulls, bone armour, scrolls, and any “dusty” off-white that needs instant definition.
 
What it does
One-coat Contrast effect: settles darker in recesses and lighter on raised areas for fast depth.
Water-based formula in an 18ml pot.
Great for quick, natural shading on textured surfaces like bones, teeth, rope, and fur.
 
How to use
Prime with a light undercoat (Contrast-style priming works best).
Apply a generous coat and guide pooling away from flat areas before it dries.
Let it fully dry, then optionally add a final highlight (bone/off-white) on the sharpest edges for extra pop.
 
Best for
Skeleton armies, skull details, horns, teeth
Parchment, scrolls, purity seals
Dusty cloth and “aged” off-white accessories

ChalkyDot Tip: For the most realistic bone, do Skeleton Horde first, then add only tiny edge highlights with a light bone colour—leave the recess shading intact so it stays deep and natural.
