Citadel Layer: Ushabti Bone (12ml)
A classic warm bone / ivory Layer paint for smooth highlights and natural bone tones—perfect for skulls, parchment, horns, teeth, and “aged white” details that shouldn’t look pure-white and chalky.
 
What it does
Made for crisp highlights and building up layers over Base paints.
Dries to a smooth matt finish for clean, readable bone and cloth.
Water-based acrylic, non-toxic, and suitable for plastic, metal, and resin miniatures.
 
How to use
Basecoat first (bone or tan bases work best).
Thin slightly and apply 2–3 thin coats on raised areas for a smooth build-up. (Layer paints love thin coats.)
Optional: finish with a tiny final highlight of an off-white only on the sharpest points (teeth tips, horn edges) for extra pop.
 
Best for
Bones, skulls, horns, teeth, claws
Parchment, scrolls, purity seals
Warm highlights on beige/leather and “dusty” cloth
 
Key details
Range: Citadel Layer Paints
Pot size: 12ml
 
ChalkyDot Tip: For the most natural bone, stop your highlights at Ushabti Bone, then add only a pinpoint of a brighter off-white on extreme edges—bone stays warm and realistic instead of turning “chalk-white.”
