The Army Painter: Speed Paint Marker - Pallid Bone

Pallid Bone is the pale, desaturated, almost sickly bone tone in the Warpaint Fanatic line — the one painters reach for when they want bone, parchment, skulls, or undead details to look faded, ancient, and drained of warmth. It’s lighter and colder than Skeleton Bone, softer than Bony Spikes, and sits perfectly in that “pale relic bone” zone.

This is the bone tone painters grab when they want “ancient remains, undead pallor, or bleached relics.”

What Pallid Bone Is Built To Do

• Lay down a soft, pale bone basecoat with smooth coverage

• Serve as a highlight over Skeleton Bone, Dusty Skull, or Tomb King Tan

• Blend beautifully thanks to Fanatic’s matte, high‑pigment formula

• Create readable, crisp bone details on skulls, armor, parchment, and relics

• Work across fantasy, undead, and grimdark palettes

It’s the ideal “pale bone” for anything meant to look old, bleached, or eerie.

Color Vibe

• Pale, desaturated bone

• Soft and cold

• Matte finish for clarity

• Pairs perfectly with greys, purples, blacks, and muted browns

Think “ancient skull, bleached bone, undead relic.”

Why Painters Love It

• Perfect for skeletons, undead, relics, scrolls, and purity seals

• Great for final bone highlights

• Ideal for grimdark or desaturated palettes

• Smooth coverage with excellent control

• Works beautifully with washes and Speedpaint shading

Pallid Bone is basically the “ancient bone highlight” — soft, pale, and full of eerie character.

Painter’s Vibe

Pallid Bone brings that “bleached relic, undead pallor, ancient remains” energy — perfect for any miniature meant to look old, cursed, or steeped in forgotten history.
