Silver Skulls: Classic Bases

January 2026·p. 31

THE SHORT VERSION

A traditional brown groundwork recipe gives the metallic army a warm, consistent foundation. Two drybrushed highlights bring out the texture before a solid brown rim completes each model, showing how a simple repeated base treatment can unify infantry, characters and armoured support.
