Citadel Contrast: Skeleton Horde is a versatile shade from Games Workshop’s Contrast range, designed to deliver both base colour and shading in a single, effortless coat. This warm, bone-tinted brown is ideal for painting skeletons, skulls, parchment, bone armour, and weathered leather — giving your miniatures natural depth and tone in minutes.

• One-coat coverage: Provides both colour and shading in a single layer, flowing into recesses to create natural contrast and instant definition.
• Ideal bone tone: Produces realistic results for skeletons, skulls, and bone textures, as well as aged parchment and ivory effects.
• Fast and efficient painting: Perfect for quickly painting armies and units while maintaining high-quality, natural finishes.
• Premium acrylic formula: Water-based paint compatible with all Citadel Colour paints and primers, ensuring smooth application and durability.

Citadel Contrast paints are formulated to transform the way you paint miniatures—designed to give rich colour and shading with minimal effort. Skeleton Horde is especially suited for natural materials such as bone, wood and leather, and can be layered or highlighted further with Citadel Layer paints like Ushabti Bone or Screaming Skull for extra depth.

How to use: For best results, apply over a smooth, light primer such as Wraithbone or Grey Seer. Shake the pot thoroughly before use and apply generously with a medium brush, allowing the pigment to settle naturally into recesses. Once dry, the surface will display smooth highlights and rich shadows, ready for additional detailing or varnishing.
