How to paint Skaven Clanrat Skryer by Lester Bursley

[@Jathom]

This is one of the best looking clanrats I have ever seen. No foolin.

[@DaneManGames]

Just realized you were a Navy vet form your patreon page! Former Navy myself. I was an FC! I learn by watching also along with reading but I am so much more a visual learner! Thanks for all the great work man! It has really helped me with my Menoth and Skorne painting with airbrushes!

[@brianwolf9052]

It's great to see another tutorial from you, Lester. Awesome paint job, as usual.

[@WildEye15]

Thanks for posting another video video Lester! Always enjoy them. Great insight and inspiration in painting technique and colour selection/combination.

[@Thraxia]

Great to see a video from you again :) I prefer having once in a while that really shows painting instead of random videos just for the sake of putting some up. Keep up the good work!

[@Misterfairweather]

Glad to see you back posting again, and timely too I was looking to do some Skaven as a break from big models after my Baneblade!

[@Valkelek]

Nice work. Thanks for that dry-brushing tip where you mix in a white. It looks great!

[@crom131]

All right, something new, just posted 45 min ago, thanks for the post was wondering when a new one would be up and here it is, nice.

[@J_Burgh]

Good to see a new vid Les!

[@GamzaLive]

Good stuff. I like that shield turn out!

[@homericteacher]

Could you do video solely on black lining?

[@TheBadadj]

Excellent stuff as always, cheers Les

[@dafruk1]

Really good addition showing the brushes you use. Interesting to see black lining back being used again, really fell out of fashion for a while.

[@grantgirdwood2027]

Really good vid, like the brush work a few more of those would be good and awesome work as all was , have found your videos very helpful with getting back into painting.

[@xFiebsi]

glad to see a new video from you!! keep up the good work

[@negatorxx]

how do you keep the base of the bristles on your brush so clean?

[@JustinTroop]

Amazing video as always, love the new style and the techniques used here were amazing, gonna be trying out some of this for sure on nurgle to make a comic book nurgle look. Hope it works out if not another tool in my toolbox.

[@MrWylwy]

Hi there, was thinking about and albino Skaven army with some purples and reds. Any suggestions?

[@woody4715]

How do you apply matte varnish on your models? I've tried everything and I still get a frosted finish.

[@XxPixelszHdxX]

Can you do a tyranid hive fleet leviathan tutorial? I would love to see how you would turn that out.

[@kodain]

Lester, a pleasure, as always.

[@pawelkarolak3451]

Good to see your work again! We need mooore! Greetings from Poland ;)

[@bobwallace2629]

thx, whats ur fav color lad

[@killroy255]

why did you prime it white and not black or grey?

[@sitpaintandplay3881]

So is your series for skaven done then? I’m assuming so since it’s been 2 years

[@jbbmailbox]

What is this DLB Dry Brush?

[@ObsidianSoul1]

Excellent work

[@Krazykal]

Is that bark you used as a rock on the base?

[@LesterBursleyMiniatures]

Krazykal It is.

[@rhothy1]

where are those DLB series brushes from?

[@LesterBursleyMiniatures]

Douglas P. Miller They will release at GenCon from Games&Gears. Link in description.

[@Malakai1939]

Great paint job. Hey I just started using an airbrush..literally today and I use Vallejo varnish. Was wondering if you need to thin that before shooting it through your brush. Thanks! Oh and a big thank you to yourself and Chung at WGC for putting out awesome vids. You and the guy from Buy Painted really helped me on the road to starting with an airbrush, so cheers!

[@Clone16165]

I absolutely despise skaven, be it the lore or on the table, but that was one heck of a tutorial! Hope to see more high quality soon and more frequently.

[@johnscheide1984]

looks great

[@TheWarped72]

another great vid dude. and your using the great ichiban brushes. I hear alot people say those brushes suck, but you seem to have no problems with them. I also use them think there great. Nice new dry brushes, look forward to getting my hands on those. Keep up the great work

[@LesterBursleyMiniatures]

TheWarped72 Thanks! Yeah I've seen people bash them too. I just film using them and let the viewer decide based on the performance they see.

[@familyofgamers777]

Awesome as usual Les. Screw the guys who bitch about putting out vids. Release them when you do, no matter pal, I'll always watch em.

[@kasual1414]

I wasn't able to catch it everyday but I was enjoying your twitch feed. Any plans on bringing it back? Keep up the great work, homie. Your stuff is top notch.

[@LesterBursleyMiniatures]

kasual1414 Thanks! Yes it will return eventually. Just working on videos for product launches. Think of it like 'finals' and when it's over we go back to regularly scheduled programming :)

[@kasual1414]

LesterBursleyMiniatures That's excellent. I'm looking forward to seeing what products are coming! :D

[@miketobin284]

Beautiful work, as always Les. I especially liked the lining in on the model, as opposed to an overall wash. An overall wash would have toned the model down too much. Thanks so much for the tutorials!

[@LesterBursleyMiniatures]

Mike Tobin Thanks! Yes I prefer the lining because I tend to be a bit rough when cleaning the mold lines. Wash would fall into the rough areas and look awful.

[@HouseofChains81]

Great work. Can you do a Orc based of a Warcraft-green green with some brown tones. Great to have another vid!

[@Bluecloudandrew]

It's times like these you wish you could thumbs up something more than once.

[@DrDeathmonger]

Are those Les Bursley Signature Series brushes? If so, congrats man. You've invested a lot if time into giving great tutorials to the community. You deserve something cool like that. :) Nice tutorial too, by the way. :)

[@michaelgrey1351]

Are they not the Ichiban Studios brushes?

[@DrDeathmonger]

The Ichiban series that I got through Kickstarter, and the ones on their site, don't include the drybrush or the other, or anything in blue. Also, I noticed Les' logo on the handle. Just curious.

[@LesterBursleyMiniatures]

DrDeathmonger Thanks! Yeah they are soon to be released at GenCon. Technical series brushes which include 2 drybrushes made of ox hair and the Wakizashi which is a new lining brush.

[@locosucodeadbat740]

Nice clan rat, im curious about the other version xd

[@skaven_of_moulderyt7410]

U should have made the rock warpstone

[@FlawlessSnake]

Great Vid LEs :O)

[@thisismiee]

One does not simply paint 1 clanrat

[@wightrat357]

Right. One down 119 or so to go?

[@Lootaful]

Is this real? You painted a Skaven?

[@LesterBursleyMiniatures]

+Lootaful Because you asked for it Loota! Did it for you dude!

[@blotercraze]

What ever happened to Lester? Is he dead?

[@manicheanwarrior8589]

Wow!!!

[@bazejfirkowski7817]

nice. But if you posted sligthly more often would be appreciated :)

[@LesterBursleyMiniatures]

Błażej Firkowski It's comments like this that make 4 month breaks nice :)

[@SchnauzerFaceMinis]

LesterBursleyMiniatures LOL. But seriously, this video has been up for 48 hours so I don't understand why you don't have 4 or 5 more out by now.

[@bazejfirkowski7817]

I meant no disrespect. Your instructions arę inspiring. IT is sąd that you post so rarely

[@superdupermatt1986]

Now paint 100 of them! :cries:

[@fantaguzziniko]

me para la verga lo bueno que quedó! espectacular.

[@RoseOfSharyn101]

See no vids from you in ages... Random clan rat vid lol

[@LesterBursleyMiniatures]

RoseOfSharyn101 I know right?

[@b0nenana]

LesterBursleyMiniatures hurry finally a video again :)

[@XxlildramaxX]

What color did you paint the eyes? Looks like you left the color of the plastic but Shaded it with the violet color.

[@Banshun]

The current trend is towards NMM and blending, but you can achieve amazing results with dry brushing and black lining. I like this style a lot.

[@lostsanityreturned]

Banshun Actually the trend is going back toward TMM more than NMM from what I can see.

[@Banshun]

lostsanityreturned Yeah. A lot of the models these days look like they are lit up with LEDs.
