[Part 5](https://steemit.com/games/@jacobtothe/undead-encounters-part-5-a-primer-on-primer) was a long time ago, but this project has resumed! I will be running a Dungeons and Dragons game as Dungeon Master tomorrow, and I anticipate a need for skeletons. It's time to slap some paint on these miniatures at last! ![20181116_193151.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUGpD9KL2jkCq9s1NKyv1drSd8vu6hXuMgJcjRqmUqGJm/20181116_193151.jpg) That layer of gray primer needs some color! I started by blocking out areas in the colors I wanted. Bone is, well, bone colored. I think it's too cartoonishly pale, but we will see. Fabric is red and yellow. Shields are red. Metal is a silvery metal flake paint. Then I slathered everything with a brown wash. Perhaps I should have used sepia paint here instead of opaque brown paint. Oh, well. The point is to see if I can do this fast and simple. These are utilitarian pieces, not showcase models. I am not inclined to be a speed-painter, so this is an exercise to see if I can make it work anyway. ![20181116_233336.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmedbDVzswe6MuAfomn8q2wQw8dKjE6Fu8BqJQyin8y2A1/20181116_233336.jpg) Here is the result so far. I like the grimy effect for these corpses, but I may go back and add highlights with dry-brushing and detail paint work to make it all pop. My paints are an assortment of acrylic model paints from Reaper, Vallejo, and Army Painter. I recommend all of them. They come in dropper bottles and thin well with a bit of water. If I use a translucent wash, it will probably be Vallejo sepia ink, because I already have that. Some people really like the Games Workshop washes, too. Ask away if you have any questions!
