How to paint Blood Axes Ork Nob by Lester Bursley

[@granander]

I do like that you showcase the mistakes you make and how to fix them. It is very common for people to be so afraid of failing that they don't even try even though most problems are easily solvable.

[@LesterBursleyMiniatures]

Yup! That's why I have been leaving them "oops!" content in the vids so people know I usually make mistakes lol.

[@sircory1337]

You hit the nail on the head. Comic-booky is precisely the way I would describe the high contrast look you are achieving with the white and black lining. And as long as you are happy with it, keep it up. It also gives your models a district aesthetic, which is always good. Keep up the great work. Awesome ork, awesome vid.

[@porcu12345]

This is much better than the last 2 ork tutorials. Even better than the older Deathskulls one which was my previous favourite. Really great.

[@adamkrupa3914]

Man, I've been thinking of getting into adding an airbrush to my mini painting and stumbled across your stuff in my research... as an avid ork player, i just have to say, you earned a right proppa WAAAGH!!! for this work here. Im not normally a big fan of blood axes, but you got me thinking of starting a side project with that theme after watching this video. awesome stuff man, keep up the good work!!

[@MRAlrounder]

GOD DAMN!! Your painted mini figs always looks so good, the quality is perfect! I wish you would have those high quality photos that you use to have at the end of the video. A model that good deserves a proper photo instead of a quick hand held view of it.

[@timspakowski5428]

I really enjoyed watching how you applied the pigment areas for shading. Thank you!

[@Ryan-cs1du]

this video was insane. I've never seen someone use varnishes between layers but that final result sure speaks for itself. love your work!

[@Tremadog102]

Great video. I like that you use a wide variety of techniques in this video. Weathering pigments,oil paints, water colours... It makes me want to try being a bit more adventurous in my own painting. The idea of applying varnish at different stages of the model makes sense. I've only bothered using varnish to seal models when I'm finished. Your video shows there is more uses for them than is initially apparent.

[@TableTopPainting101ReddingCa]

now thats how i like to start my day / get up sit at my desk and watch a awesome tutorial i now have the drive to paint all day. thanks Les

[@GrunkleSpam]

I think the use of many washes in a splotchy pattern was really brilliant, as it gave the metallics a sort of chemical-dipped affect that a lot of hand-forged metal objects have on them when they're pulled out of the cooling/hardening solutions, and the brown camouflage color scheme looks really, really good with it.

[@house3344]

Well done, really cool. I don't use an airbrush and I see that painting with different techniques can change a lot.

[@kalis2010]

Glad to see you back.

[@andynorton4854]

wow, some new concepts in there i had not seen anywhere elset, will have to extend the range of what i use for sure - great video

[@PaulSmith-kp1hj]

That water color tip was really nice, I'll have to give that a try on my next project.

[@chaineffect6437]

Loved the experimentation in this episode! That's one hell of an Ork! Very nice

[@kendrickcolin6623]

I guess it is pretty off topic but does anyone know a good place to stream new movies online?

[@Dimes607]

Orks are perfect for a "comicbooky" style. love it

[@MarekKlasa]

Absolutely stunning! I really like the effect you achieved on metal areas using oil paints. Actually i've been using humbrol enamels + artistic oils for many years before switching to vallejo, thanks to your vids, but I was always mixing diffrent metallic shades instead of simply painting shadows with black oil paint. Very useful tip!

[@SirBuffton]

Every time I am amazed.

[@renaultdavey]

Another one so soon yeaaaaaaah budddddddy this keeps me sane while i work nights keep up the good work les

[@dudeboyorkboy]

Excellent work.

[@mercury1076]

Excellent work. Incredible paintmanship. . . is that a word?

[@KingFluffs]

Nicely done.

[@ElmaFudd2]

Hi Les, love the use of the silly putty! I will defo take a look at getting some of that! Good video :)

[@trolltroubadour]

IH MY GOD !!!! It's splendide !!!!

[@admin8244]

Do you have to clean the water wash as soon as possible or do you let it dry fully before clean up? Thank you.

[@dannybabish8602]

Please tell me there are snakebite and freebooter tutorials headed our way. Loving these ork tutorials man keep up the great work

[@heresyinsider]

Jesus he looks like a mad max character! Awesome

[@jaypo7]

Really Nice work there mate! :) Great video style... Thanks for the water colour wash tip... Going to give that a try on my next model... All the best!

[@PGNogueira]

Awesome work!

[@kruellag]

man i really want to see this camo but with the deathskull blue. i hope you make one video with those colors.

[@KilliaK]

Awesome work again Les, just wondering if you go and paint a model with brush only from time to time.

[@X.davidWilliams]

Huzzah, good sir. Top notch.

[@coolsskin]

Yeah man you do your name Right! Awesome paint job man!!!

[@paulgreer602]

Do you ever do any fantasy orcs ?

[@gsquared7]

So cool! Great use of new techniques to me at least. One question: Why did you use the Violet pigment?

[@ulyssesdersin5095]

These are really nice metallics, what brand are they?

[@kristopherloomis1476]

Awesome paint job but how did you come up with that base? It looks great and unique how did you do it?

[@brabopainter]

nice done, love it. Greatings from Holland :-)

[@AdnanCucak]

Is that a specific silly putty? I cant seem to find it anywhere

[@davidraghanti660]

Great work man I aspire to hit this level of craftsmanship. What is your preferred matte varnish? I am looking to start water color washes and need a good reference point on where to start looking for myself

[@Kanvass01]

the smokey ink effect is really nice, do you dilute it or is that right from the bottle ?

[@cbjewelz]

great tutorial, thanks! would you recommend gloss varnishing before washing with GW brand washes?

[@imjawesome]

Awesome tutorial I am getting into airbrushing and am wondering what compressor would be good for a beginner. I have a patriot 105. Keep up the awesome vids!

[@marcbowling6451]

As always thanks for the video. Do you happen to have any idea as to why my oil washes dry choppy and gritty instead of a smooth line? When I am pin washing the line looks super smooth and solid but it dries all broken up and not a consistent line. Sometimes there won't even be a line at all anymore!

[@MrNikolajN]

What do you use for Matten the figure with ?

[@taiicho]

I am a beginner and I like to know what kind of paste you use to protect the figurine before airbrush ?

[@lstdragn5422]

hah! Finally, someone using a small reservoir AB for mini painting. I use an HP-A, which sits on my bench all the time; one of my fav brushes for its versatility and ease of clean up. Mix up custom colors all the time similarly. This is a great tool to have sitting on your bench. If I could, I'd paint entirely with an AB, but certainly not efficient to do so. :)

[@Mishog777]

What is the make and model of the paint brushes you are using?

[@maddogtannen69]

Les what are the primers your using?

[@RoninXiC]

Love it.

[@Adamp117]

Great video, I really like your work! I've painted a few miniatures before, and am getting back into the hobby. Is it better to use an airbrush for blending? Or can the same results be achieved using just brushes?

[@sonnyworthington9276]

one word awesome

[@checky6825]

I never thought to use water color paint, nor have I ever heard of it. I liked the finish it gave. I don't have an airbrush setup though, so would I be okay brushing on the gloss varnish? Or am I better off getting canned gloss varnish?

[@LesterBursleyMiniatures]

Anthony Adamczyk Thanks! The brush and water based varnish will reactivate the dry water colour so spraying is best after. A can would work fine but wait 24 hours until you paint over the varnish.

[@paulgreer602]

have you ever worked with red skin Orcs ?

[@JH-ze9cn]

Great vid man, thanks for the series! Are you working with a grey primer?

[@Wraith1uk]

do you use vallejo game air or just game colours?

[@fader2701]

what brand paints are you referencing?

[@nadinesmith5762]

The vallejo colours like Cayman green from VGC or VGA?

[@rvelazquez1986]

Sorry if this sounds as like extremely noobish question, I only started a few weeks ago. How do you attach the models to the bases you are using to paint them?

[@ryanneilan3223]

Crazy good

[@anderslillemo7432]

I guess it have been asked before, but I ask anyway ;P where did you get this model? or if it's a custom build, where does the parts come from? Awesome paint job thou :D (pun intended)..

[@BigBadBobCat]

amazing

[@timspakowski5428]

Oh btw, do you dilute your matte varnish prior to spraying or do you just drop it in and spray?

[@LesterBursleyMiniatures]

I just drop it in with no dilution. Gotta use an airbrush with larger needle and a bit more psi like 30.

[@Marlerc11]

Where'd this model come from?

[@chenmarco2453]

5:19 ARD ARMOUR!!!!

[@MarcusSpetim]

You are right man,i typically have my pets mix my water colors :P Awesome job though,i definatly learned a lot

[@carreroarts9735]

Bad Azz.. Did you think dry pigments were eazy the first time you used them?

[@dackeltytateki225]

Чувак молодец и маслом фигачит и водой разбавленной, вместо теней, и на топоры кровь не льёт.

[@dziknadnotecki]

fucking nice :)
