Hey bud.
What’s the paint pad you are using ?
Really cool. It would be interesting to have a skeleton hoard, with each model having slightly different tones. Would keep the unit cohesive but add nice interest
All three look really good, and pretty easy too, I'm absolutely with you in the pin washing thing, it is a super powerful technique, takes longer than just slapping a wash all over and letting that do the work, but nothing makes the details on a model stand out better than a pin wash!
Absolutelt fantastic video on another fundamental, and thanks for the feedback in the premiere live chat, too. Whole bunch of great feedback for doing well weathered bones that I can't wait to put into practice.
I love this, no rigid paint choice and free mixing is closer to my style
With the review of the upcoming Cursed City... your timing couldn't be better!!
So many skulls! Making a video with options to do bones is spectacularly helpful! Thankee for this.
Looking forward to a “fixing bad priming with painting” video!
Thank you that really helps and the way you explain it whilst you paint is 1st class again thank you I have just started this during lockdown and find all the different styles really helpful 10/10.
Great tips and the base coat one in particular has already made a difference to my painting!! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for taking the time to detail this process.I'm definately going to be mixing and playing with my skele's colors/shades after seeing this, Cheers!
That's some incredibly control with the contrast at around 4:00, will have to bring this into my painting repertoire!
Thanks and great vid. I find bone very difficult to paint. This has helped a lot. I would love to see a similar vid but showing the horns you did on that ork mini
Great advice! Great work! Thanks.
Awesome vid, thank you for posting. I have "those" kind of friends - the ones that gift me toy skeletal tchotchkes every holiday season. Your tips are very useful for me to repaint them so they actually look cool. Thanks!
When you put together the Sepulchral guard last night then this greets you in the morning. Looks like I need to get priming.
I finally placed an order for the series D set. Took some time but I consider it a graduation present to myself. Very excited to try some of the techniques I've learned from all your videos.
Amazing dude! Well deserved, will be great to have you painting along at home with the equipment! Thanks for the support
@@ArtisOpus Thanks man! Cheers, have a good one.
Nice job! Those look awesome!
Thanks so much, buddy!😊
I am definitely going to be adding some layer paint the base of my next go at any white/off white things. I often get a bumpy surface and I'm keen to see if this helps! Some interesting things to try with bone too. So many things to try, so little time!
"I want this to be a warm bone"
My level of maturity really showed when I heard this XD
Great vid tho!
Cant watch live, but looking forward to this video..always struggled with making bone look good! :)
Hope you enjoyed it, buddy, let us know your thoughts😊
Cheers man another great video. 👍🏻
My pleasure, dude, glad you liked it😊
Ooh. You have some Pro Acryl paints being used today. Great paints 👍
Another nice video. First one reminds me how i used to paint my skellies - gw bleached bone with wash of gw chestnut. Drybrush bleached bone for highlights
I’ve got a book called “Empire of Death”, which is all about European ossuaries and displays made from human remains. I use it all the time as a reference for painting. Hardly any of the bones are “bone” coloured. They range from Steel legion drab through Karak Stone. Others you would glaze with Mournfang brown. Many more are bleached, so rakarth flesh through to pure white.
Awesome! Spoilt for choice now for bone colour recipes. 😊
Thanks, man😊
This video helped me a lot. Thank you very much.
You're most welcome, dude :)
Fantastic as always. Almost makes me want to run an army that benefits quite a bit from DryBrushing, (Skeletons or Nids etc)
Thanks. Sometimes it's nice to add in some olive base to mix up the texture. And vallejo smoky ink is amazing for bones, especially horns.
This looks great. Could you do a complete skeleton mini please using one of these techniques.
Grate video very useful 👍
I usually try a green tint to my flesh and bone too. I find army painter military shader to be far more useful than a straight green. Top tips as always, thanks.
Them bones look absolutely fenomenal 👍
Thanks so much, dude
That quick dip in lahmian medium was hilarious. "Doesn't count if you go quick, right?" Ah the lies we tell ourselves :D
:D I'm just homogenising my future painting... Arty! ;)
Gonne try that last one on my White Scars.
From gray is easily my favourite way to paint bone.
Why can't I save this video? I need it in my miniature paint playlist
I don't know unfortunately! Good luck with it
Love the video! I must ask is there a place where I can see how to do the Horns on that Orruk's back armor? I love that dark rotting look!
Amazing channel
🥰 thanks!
Cmon we need a bonesplitters tutorial those shields, the warchanter of the battle damage tutorial... This is fate.
I mentioned this on the other video but we need a cool tutorial for ork skin, one that could use in the huge army that are the Bonesplitterz LET'S GO FELLAS LET'S SUMMON A WAAAAHG
This sounds even more interesting then usual!
ot: Anybody know any store in the EU that actually has AO equipment in stock?
Hey dude, glad you enjoyed it! Yup - we are waiting on restocks of a single brush size for M and S sets currently, lockdown means that we're not getting the volumes that we're ordering in one big go, but we have small regular restocks several times a week, so the wait shouldn't be long.
If you've got specifics you're after let me know which ones?
@@ArtisOpus Thanks for the offer!
This is going to be a good watch later to paint my Archaon's horns
I love your videos and have learnt a lot. I was wondering if you had any advice for someone who is doing mortifactors (bone white + black armour, love skulls and bones) I'm not sure how to make the armour, the skulls/bones and the purity seals/parchment not sort of all become one colour. How would you approach this? Thanks for all your vids and your brushes.
Thanks!
Always my pleasure😊Thanks for watching!
New to watching your videos. I’m really enjoying them- QUESTION: when you start painting a mini you’re using what I think of as a dry brush- the reason? And how do you wash or care for them?
Welcome, buddy! You can layer traditionally or stipple/smoosh with a drybrush. This is something I tend to use my drybrushes for as it's a little heavier. Check out Ultimate Guide to drybrushing and Flawless Blends tutorials.
A lot of my cleaning is done as I paint, they'll do a good job at explaining and showing this.🤞😊
What about ashed bones, I don’t know where to start at it for my chaos space marines
Hey man! Epic video as always... Just my ocd kicked in and had to tell you that you spelt contrast incorrect on the thumbnail pic :P
Where did you get that little wet sponge you kept dipping your brush into?
What color do you use for the tattoo and spiral art on the shoulders of the orc model?
This is a very good job.
It would be interesting to make a comparison between these "modern" techniques with the older one. I mean, when the Shade and layer colours didn't exist, the washing was made with a normal colour, using more water.
Maybe the modern colours (shade, etc..) can give a more complex effect in slightly less time.. buuut I'm afraid they're a commercial solution for the lazy painters!
What do you think about it?
Really interesting idea, I've seen some other peeps paint eavy-metal style which is close to this, but just layering from black would definitely be a real change, now we're privileged
How do you maintain the round/goat hair style drybrushes? I think I messed mine up by trying to clean like I do with my normal brushes, masterson soap and water. There's a lot more fraying from one clean on mine than on yours which have probably seen a lot more action.
Is there really a big difference between Agrax and that Nuln oil/sepia mix? How does that further compare to Skeleton Horde (contrast paint). I'm trying to simplify my paint scheme as much as possible but I really like your white bone version.
Could I use grey seer base coat instead of celestra?
how did you paint the hornes of the Ork?
for the first one you paint im eager to try this but the part looks black before you start painting has this already had a black prime put onto it first?
Hey Terry, yeah it has mate - Chaos Black
Can you do the ancient bone technique on skeletons with a zenithal highlight?
Absolutely, hybrid techniques are my favourite :) could even do a shade from below
@@ArtisOpus Could you apply the basecoat through an airbrush over a zenithal? .. and when you apply the basecoat is it meant to be an all over base, or do you still maintain the top down lighting effect when applying a basecoat over a zenithal? ( I hope this question makes sense..)
I adore these videos but whyyy?! Why do you double dip your brushes?!
Because it doesn't matter? :D But mostly for you guys 🤭🙄
Wonder how well these effects would work on a perfectly smooth Blood Ravens (Space Marine) Shoulder Pauldron. Hmmmmm
Ok...i have an issue maybe you might know the solution....
Im painting 4000 points of Soulblight gravelords... and i have a really cool armor paint job im doing... it ends with a really flashy vampire red... but to do it... i need to paint with an airbrush, and theres no way ill be able to not paint some of the bone while im doing the main spraying for the armor.... is there a good technique i could use to RE-apply a white base coat to the bone that will be bright red...and follow the steps you did... without getting it to thick? sorry to ask!
Request for icy bone tutorial
Sorry to hear about your baby d... brush.... but at least you helped me out before i start up Nagash the big bone spooky lord. That layer with base trick is stellar, really going against the grain eh.....
What is the name of the ork you had in hand ? Tks
Hey buddy 'Orruk Warchanter'
@@ArtisOpus thanks 🙏😉
Bonjour petite question c'est quoi le petit pot avec l'éponge grise dedans merci
Hey dude, it's our 'dampening pad' - check out our ultimate guide for more information, it's to introduce moisture to the drybrushing process, and is magic :)
@@ArtisOpus thanks you
No worries! 'Drybrushing Ultimate Guide' :)
Well, it looks like I've found the technique for doing the bones on my desert bases.
How can one get in contact with you? I need suggestion on a pendant that lost its luster. It's a very small piece, a fox face. I would like to send you pics of a before and after.
Is it a jewellery pendant? That's not my speciality but if it's a mini I am sure I'll be able to help. 😊
Dem bones, dem bones, dem dry [brushed] bones 🦴🦴🦴☠💀
😏😏🔊
Kinda off topic... any word on the paint shakers?
: )
No skeleton horde . Surprised
Now you're talking
😊😊

Which ones?
@@ArtisOpus all of them
@@ArtisOpus here just sell the popular colors
If you’re reading this comment you should go like and comment to appease the almighty algorithm 😁👍🏼
Your tutorials are FABULOUS, however could you please just pronounce Sepia - see.pee.uh. ? No biggy, thankyou.
I love this, no rigid paint choice and free mixing is closer to my style

Amazing dude, it's always a tricky one, we try to give rods, rather than fish, but it's always a little more intimidating for people who like a recipe :)
