Start with a brown base like bestial brown then get lighter and lighter. Stripe on the highlights rather than just highlighting normaly.

paint bone, use washes of darker browns to shade.
touch up highlight areas with bone and then use an ivory to finish highlights.
real fast. just use more stages for ahigher quality job.

the easiest possible way i find to do these is not to stick the helmets to the bodys, then spray the helmets white, andspray the bodys black.
Work the black up with highlights of your choice, in this case i would personally go for adding bleached bone to chaos black for highlights as it creates a warm grey colour, linked to the bone of the helmets.
then paint the helmets with bleached bone and shade them with washes of bestial and then scorched brown. (or even brown ink.)
i hope that helps

Painting Bone for Ulthwe Army
GW came out with a great scheme in one of the White Dwarfs a little while back:
1) basecoat skull white, washed over with a 1:3 graveyard earth to water mix. Continue until the GYE is dark in the recesses. Alternatively (what I do) is just paint a 50/50 mix GYE/H2O over the white.
2) paint watered down Kommando Khaki over the GYE. Do this in several layers, getting thicker on the ridges. The KK is semi transparent so it allows the GYE to seep through. You want this!
3) 50/50 Bleached Bone/Kommando Khaki painted along the edges of the raised areas. Fade up to pure BB. I usually add a 50/50 mix of BB and Skull White here.
4) Paint pure Skull White along the very edges and along the most prominent raised areas
Does this help?

For bone over a black basecoat I put down a layer or 2 of VMC Cork Brown just to cover the black undercoat. Then over that I use VGC Bonewhite in 1 or 2 thin layers, then I shade with a very watered down wash of smoke paint(20%paint 80% water, with a dab of slow drying medium) then rehighlight with Bonewhite, then layer with bonewhite mixed with white, then just white.
It is hard to get good coverage of a light colour over a dark colour, especially black. It is important to take it in steps from darker shades which cover well, to lighter and lighter shades.
