How to paint Kings of War Skeleton by Lester Bursley

[@01huntingtown]

Great vid - would love to see a detailed 360 view of the model at the end though

[@olonggris]

Love your videos, great stuff! But it would be nice to see some pics of the finished miniature at the end of the video. Cheers

[@ChaosxSpacexMarine]

You make it look so easy Les, especially with that cloth work. The bone work is definitely an interesting take on painting bone. Very cool!

[@IDICBeer]

Nice tutorial Les

[@miketobin284]

Thanks, Les! Looks great, as always. Also appreciate you sharing the tips. My own work has improved greatly since watching your channel. Please keep 'em coming

[@michaeljdauben]

Some great tips in this video. I especially like the way you did your rusty metal. I really want to try that out on some skeletons I've got waiting on my painting table.

[@doitonthetable]

You truly have a gift. My sincere compliments to you for your most excellent work.

[@Molda22]

Best painting video i have seen! Simply perfect in many ways. Only downside (for me at least) is the use of vallejo instead of citadel which i want to use.

[@granander]

Nice to see some proper effort going into a skeleton... they tend to get the no-love-drybrush treatment. Very nice!

[@19Koche76]

the best tutorial of the century TOP !!!!!!!!

[@semperreformanda5035]

Awesome vid. Really helping my painting, and I love seeing a Mantic model out there. Excited to see what else you got comin' this year!

[@maxbrandt6]

Very nice work and indeed, some good tips in there along the way!

[@LesterBursleyMiniatures]

Thanks Max!

[@Jedijim252]

Hi buddy, just mentioned you the other day as one of my favorite you tube content providers that I really missed...nice to see another awesome tutorial...hope everything goes well for you in the new year and with your patron support...Jim.

[@LesterBursleyMiniatures]

Thanks Jim! Yeah been a while since we had a chat. I'm around, just busy with big changes personally and professionally. It makes me happy that you are here.

[@overkill4980]

+LesterBursleyMiniatures where do u buy these

[@MarekKlasa]

Good job as always! :D I especially like the work done on metallic parts.

[@reptar33]

Excellent video.

[@CupCakeUnleashed]

Who does the music? They are really good.

[@dragoon51591]

+Cup Cake Unleashed really want to know who made this song lol

[@Ottuln]

Thanks for another fantastic video. I just started into the hobby not too long ago, and am just finishing up my first few projects. Your videos have really advanced my abilities to passable quickly, which I never really expected to reach. Maybe one day I'll make it to acceptable or better : P

[@Teais4theeelite]

Another great video! I did miss seeing the airbrush though 😉

[@SureGibson777]

Hey man, are you still painting? Love your tutorials.

[@nicolasbohnenberger7017]

I'm getting started on mini painting as a hobby and I'd been meaning to figure out something: How do Vallejo Game Air paints fare on the brush? What different cares do you have to take with them? For me it's much easier to acquire those instead of most mode color and game color paints.

[@frankymontens]

thanks Les, that is awesome

[@WargamerSpud]

Great stuff Mr Paint brush.

[@kasual1414]

Thank you for this. Some great tips and tricks as always.

[@LesterBursleyMiniatures]

If 1 person learns 1 thing from a video I make, it was worth the time and effort. Thank YOU.

[@Azkamoski]

+LesterBursleyMiniatures I must thank you also, my skeleton horde is looking a whole lot more badass with your help, that and I learnt more about painting from this video than from two years of GCSE art.

[@overkill4980]

+LesterBursleyMiniatures where do u buy minis

[@DocEonChannel]

I use fleshtone shade (or the equivalent) for skeletons all the time - but I've never done it over grey, just over more beige bone colors...

[@MesoJoe]

Just in case you can't respond/see my comment on your channel directly for some reason, I have a few questions about your wash recipes for modeling and airbrushes... Question 1) Do they all come out as clear colors when dry? Question 1a) If so, but you want it in a solid color, do you either add more pigment ink, add successive layers of paint, or fiddle with the ratio you put up? I ask because I wonder if this is a good method for making straight up paints as needed instead of weathering or clear colors... Question 2) Is the mix already good to go for Airbrushing? Question 2a) If not, would it be better to thin the recipe via ratios or acryllic thinner?

[@insearchoflostdice3539]

Thanks! Incredibly helpful.

[@Heavy4th]

Amazing as usual! You Always learn new things watching your videos :)

[@purdiusprime9792]

Amazing stuff. You are the master!

[@GirlPainting]

looking good as always :)

[@jonnycatland1987]

How thin do you make your paints? I know model color is thicker, I use about 1:1 for MC.

[@adnanbashir3190]

how to make it?

[@blu-3664]

What kind of brush is that you're using to black line your miniature o.o looks really strange though the tip on that is really good. Ever use it for eyes?

[@LesterBursleyMiniatures]

Never used it to paint eyes. I got the brushes on amazon, search for "Eye of the Tiger by Dynasty - Set H Liners".

[@Whichendup]

Hey man, awesome video. My only criticism: can we get a good 360 of the finished product?

[@jimeronimo]

Hey Lester. Always a fan and your vid format is awesome. Showing the paints as used and the zoom showing the effects as your putting the paint on.. question. Any reason for the order of the areas you paint? Armor and metal first to finish then the fabric then bone, etc?

[@jin6837]

Awesome vid! Gained a new Subscriber!

[@SupaSneak15]

Hey Lester, Great job! This "How to" was very useful and the words you use and how you describe what you are doing is very clear. Thank you! I was wondering if White Primer would be a good choice for skeletons. Any advice on that? Thanks.

[@Erulasteil]

Cool vid! What song is playing it the background?

[@kevinwatts8221]

[@johnchavez3753]

im big fan of you man, show us how to paint an infinity miniature, would be great

[@LesterBursleyMiniatures]

When I get back to doing videos, Infinity is definitely on the list of stuff to paint.

[@rhikdavis]

Would have been cool to see a few still shots of the final product.....good job however.

[@HopiTrails1]

hey man,missed your vids and was curious if you ever painted LOTR minis??Hope your well and thanks for all the inspiration....

[@barlotardy]

So I'm curious: You obviously have the whole hand-eye coordination thing down. Do you also draw or sculpt or anything like that? Great vid as always.

[@michaelgrey1351]

Like how you're using minis from other companies. I love Mantic, some great sculpts. Looking forward to see where else you go.

[@LesterBursleyMiniatures]

Mantic did a good job with this box of models. Easy to put together and the detail is nice. The channel will take new direction this year so you will see really new stuff, even some outside the miniature world and into the large resin kit market.

[@geedubs5662]

Great to see some other models On your channel Lester. Would love to see your take on some Privateer Press (warmachine/hordes) stuff. Or some Kabuki or Batman miniatures game models. Big fan btw.

[@kylanspence2051]

Music name btw great video

[@oliverizzard8751]

Great tutorial, your personality really shines through! Haha "Here's your paint list" now let me get to work =P

[@stargazer3703]

Nice as allways. Are u by anny chance making a tutorial of a Infinity models in the near future?? Awesome minis!

[@LesterBursleyMiniatures]

Thanks! YES, Infinity tutorials will be here this year.

[@AlexBabcock-hw9iz]

Damn good looking Skel am really liking your vids need a better look at the finished project though. A nice 360 degree turn would be killer.

[@Skorpor]

Great to see some Mantic stuff!

[@kylanspence2051]

I paint and customize/sculpt Lego minifigs so I know how good this is

[@HouseofChains81]

Can you do kings of war orcs next. Please no air brushing as most of us don't have that. Try to use game color only. I think it'd help most of us out. Keep up the good work!

[@rt-ks2bh]

fantastic vid without the bull,,excellentttttt

[@CallsignGaMBiT]

they look like frostgrave skeletons like 1 on 1

[@mrfordf3508]

Need a money shot at the end

[@Meksworld]

I love you work but they look too clean and animated

[@redgreen09]

loooking good like em ::::)))

[@LesterBursleyMiniatures]

Thanks! Glad you liked the vid!
