In this video we take a look at one way you can paint the bones on your miniatures. Great for all those skeletons in your classic undead army, Soulblight Gravelords in Age of Sigmar, and of course those pesky D&D adversaries!

I got three quarters of the way through the video and started to get worried I wasn't going to hear Henry say Sansodor this week

Would absolutely love to see you cover zombies as well, if you're open to covering another troop type from the army!

@Lavendeer201 2 years ago

My heart warmed up when you showed that vallejo US Olive Drab 70.889. That was the first paint i ever had as a kid, and over a decade later, i still have it! And its one of my go-to paints for details

Dude that veridigris work you did is so choice.

@TalRohan 1 month ago

I think the first model works very well because the bright verdigris makes a sort of ethereal energy look to the armour like something magic is powering him
The hung skeleton definitely has that left in a damp hollow in the woods where the moss and algae has had time to grow look about him.
Very cool and thanks for sharing

2:22 interesting how the US Olive Drab has separated into the grey and what looks like a cobalt greenish color.

@oinkoink3823 5 years ago

I would have enjoyed seeing the rope and wood painted as well.

@djludowici536 5 years ago

Would love to see a few approaches to zombies, as i imagine their dying flesh creates all sorts of colours, esp as everyone has different colours and tones before they die and start rotting.

Found these skeleton painting tutorials just in time for the Gravelords release. These will be most helpful, thank you.

@samuelsanfratello4617 5 years ago

Hmm... Wraithbone base and Skeleton Horde wash... lol... Enjoyed this video! Thanks for posting...

Didn't paint for years but used this technique for painting poisenous looking green/blueish skin and it worked perfect, even with the vallejo base colors, thanks :)

I simply cant say enough how brilliant these videos are. Keep them coming. They are great for a person like me, who in my own humble opinion is a good painter but wants to learn new recipes and add to my skillset, but at the same time want to actually paint an army and not go for a Golden Demon. Hope that makes sense. Like you fill the perfect spot between Warhammer TVs introductionary style and the professional level. Just simply brilliant. Your production, sound quality, voice over work... it all just is A+.

@TheImmersiveWorldCrafter 5 years ago

This is a lovely tutorial. The effect is controlled and subtle but provides just the right impact for that swampy bone look. Thank you.

@jasonwoolf6695 5 years ago

I'd love to see the cloth, and a rotting zombie flesh as well. Great videos, thanks!

@ReyExtremeCinema 5 years ago

wow awesome

@AlanForman-u8d 3 years ago

Nice Job, I've always painted on the sprue

@wakogoobie9240 5 years ago

Ooo, would love to see you do a zombie from this set 👏

@pieter-janvangucht2152 5 years ago

Very interested in a continuation of this series! Zombie flesh is an obvious choice, but I'd also love to hear your take on things things like rotting/old wood or fabric.

Ps: universe felt out of balance for a few minutes there. Thought you weren't even going to bring out the enamels!
