So i want to paint skulls, i want them to look real, any ideas on how to achive that not bleached bone color but more of a yellow aged bone color? Chaos Marines have so many skulls on everything and some i want to make look older than others while some i want to look newer. Its mostly just a way for me to identify my command models in the units that way i know who has what abilities and what have you.

My preferred method for that aged yellowing is the seraphim sepia wash

I usually do a brown base coat beastial brown/mornfang brown
Light coat of screaming skull
Dry brush screaming skull/ bleached bone
Seraphim sepia wash
Doing the wash last keeps it yellowed, if too much go for another dry brushing

This is what I do for my bones/skulls as well the only change is I do a pure white dry brush before doing the last wash but that is just my personal preference to give it more definition.
