Ossiarch Bonereapers for Warhammer AOS - Beginner Painting Tutorial

[@FEXU2]

This is No cap the best tutorial for a Tabletop ready OBR Army out there, especially for beginners like me - thanks a ton :)

[@BlackJackLegacy]

Thanks so much for the kind words.

[@tomblanchett6334]

Great tutorial just finished building the 2000pts list and always on the look out for simple ways to get painting done well!

[@Artimus_895]

Finally I have found a video that shows a better way to paint bone. I might use a darker colour for the armour panels though

[@BlackJackLegacy]

Glad to help.

[@OMGYama]

Just started AoS and picked OBR, and thanks for the tutorial, I've always been thinking on how to make that bony look on the dudes and this helped a lot.

[@GGMG]

This is exactly the colour scheme I was think of doing and now I'm even more sure it's what I wanna do after seeing this. Awesome vid thank you for making it.

[@BlackJackLegacy]

Thanks for watching and your kind comments Billy.

[@jfoerster]

Excellent demo. Enough time to see what’s happening and not too long to get bored. Keep up the good work!

[@BlackJackLegacy]

Thanks Jonathan - appreciate the feedback

[@Masheen187]

Just started AoS and this helps a ton, thank you

[@thomasc6684]

Really clear video - thanks Andy. The lighter blue is a very striking scheme that looks great for such little work, and the army at the end look cracking all together. Thanks!

[@BlackJackLegacy]

Thanks Thomas - appreciate the feedback

[@danielengle4876]

I loved the way that they look! Great tutorial for the Bonedaddys!

[@BlackJackLegacy]

Thanks Daniel. Really enjoyed painting them too.

[@crossedfilms101]

I love this tutorial! I’m just stumped as to what color to pick for my armor/cloth

[@Ben-gf7sb]

Brilliant tutorial . I’m coming back into this hobby after a 20 year absence and this has really helped me decide the rout I wanna go . I was unsure about contrast paints before but now i feel happy using them . Keep up the good work

[@BlackJackLegacy]

Hey Ben, I was unsure about the contrast paints too but I think you use them like washes. There's a right time and place and they can compliment painting rather than being an all in one solution

[@c.ringhisen9613]

Nice easy steps for some great looking bone boyz. Thanks for sharing!

[@BlackJackLegacy]

Thank you!

[@simonnickels5963]

Thanks for this video I’ve used it as a bases to my colour scene But I’m making the armour red not blue and putting hexwraith flame on the weapon instead of null oil

[@jamessullivan5168]

Excellent and succinct painting tutorial. I like the fact you covered a lot of material in a very short time frame. Kudos!

[@BlackJackLegacy]

I try to keep it instructional but not overly long and its a fine balance.

[@TheMbolduc]

a good tutorial and i like the color they give a Tomb King vibe love it

[@BlackJackLegacy]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@charlesduporge5174]

Great video to have a quick army set ! Good explanation, short enought video, top one !

[@lukegrant7985]

thank you for the great video have played the game for years but haven't painted a army as it always seemed to daunting but your tutorial was great and the army looks great i cant wait to give it a go

[@BlackJackLegacy]

Glad you found it helpful!

[@shaunrowe5949]

Great video dude. Clear and easy to follow steps and the finished model looks great.

[@BlackJackLegacy]

Thanks Shaun - glad it helped

[@adahepper2665]

Great video! Got myself a 60'ish Ossiarch Bonereapers to paint so this is good inspiration :)

[@BlackJackLegacy]

Best of luck - theyre great minis so nice to paint.

[@user-jf2bb7eo4x]

The best painting tutorial for beginners on youtube imo. I hope you do more of it for aos/warcry soon. Want to see same for Fyreslayers. Thank you.

[@edwardpicking7117]

Like you said Andy super simple but so very affective they look stunning 👌

[@BlackJackLegacy]

We might not all paint like a Golden Daemon winner but that shouldn't mean we cant get great looking armies fast.

[@krjr1982]

Nicely done. Great colour choice as well.

[@BlackJackLegacy]

Cheers mate - really happy with how they turned out.

[@evanhufford6131]

Love this

[@evanhufford6131]

Helped me alot

[@AskJakeChemistryVideos]

Thank you! Awesome video.

[@BlackJackLegacy]

You're welcome Jake - glad you enjoyed it.

[@TheJimmy000]

great job, would like to see more painting videos

[@BlackJackLegacy]

Thank you - thats the plan as this one went pretty well.

[@henrymendes5617]

They look great 👍

[@BlackJackLegacy]

Thanks Henry

[@TiberiusWallace]

My tip on painting sand bases is if you thin paint with a solvent like isopropyl or even a little acetone sand has the surface area to suck it along and spread out with the polar molecules and no surface tension and what have you.

[@BlackJackLegacy]

Great shout mate - i tend to just water down the paint but the contrast paints work great. i used this same method on my Warcry stuff. Never used iso in painting.

[@TiberiusWallace]

@@BlackJackLegacy try it. A 25mm base you can just load up a brush and dab on and it just spreads out. The wife's nail varnish remover works for it. It's really handy if you've got a tight space to get into but you don't want to mess up your paint job.

[@basicminiaturepainting]

Very nice finish mate

[@BlackJackLegacy]

Cheers fella!

[@tonyhowell201]

Nice video Andy. Thank you. It's an awesome looking Army :-)

[@BlackJackLegacy]

Thanks mate - glad you like the finished effect.

[@erebor7]

Great video! Also leaves a lot of space for customisation of the armour / jewel colours If I ever will buy these I think I'll go with a green armour and dark orange jewels probably! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@BlackJackLegacy]

Glad to help buddy and thanks for the kind words

[@PijamasGagarin]

I very much liked it and I hope you will continue doing this type of video. :)

[@BlackJackLegacy]

Thank you. I'm hoping to do more soon as I'm enjoying them too.

[@Crabbers_paints]

Awesome mate, very well done and really good talk though as well

[@BlackJackLegacy]

Thanks bud. Glad it was clear to follow.

Great!! I’ve been looking forward to this

[@BlackJackLegacy]

Thanks for watching mate.

[@catnipnapkin3329]

I'm pretty new to painting and know very little about how colours/paints behave, so I have somewhat of a silly question; for the drybrushing of the bones, will any white paint do? I have Corax White and White Scar and not a single online hobby store in my country sell the "Wrack White" paint.

[@BlackJackLegacy]

Yeah any white paint will do. Just put a little on the brush you’re dry brushing with and wipe it onto the paper towel. It’ll work the same way.

[@catnipnapkin3329]

@@BlackJackLegacy Thanks a lot :) Also; best bone painting tutorial on youtube.

[@BlackJackLegacy]

Thanks for watching and you’re very welcome.

[@ShamelessMayhem]

(Chikahiro/Sam) Very nice! Quick, and I think it was easy enough hopefully anyone can say "I can do that!" I have joked with a friend or two that its no coincidence that The Old World was announced after the release of Contrast Paints ;) Speaking of which, I'm looking at Kings of War 3rd edition as a project down the road. I've got one friend who has a few WHFB armies he's not played in years, so it'd give him a chance to use them while giving me something new to paint once I'm done with my Warcry and Riot Quest minis. And Warmachine. And... er... well, best stop thinking about that... ooh, and Defiance later on... er... :)

[@BlackJackLegacy]

Plenty of projects on the go my friend!

[@r1ck5m1th]

Great video mate! Love my undead armies and controversially wasn't a fan of tomb kings so got really excited for these guys and they look great... BUT can't quite put my finger on exactly why I don't love them... I think the only thing I'm not sold on are the heads... just think I'd prefer them with helmets on maybe?

[@BlackJackLegacy]

I've heard a lot say that and ive seen them with skeleton head swaps and I actually didnt like them as much. All personal taste I guess

[@r1ck5m1th]

Yeh massively. Where have u seen the conversions... Would love to see them and test my theory 😂

[@legiox217]

Any particular case for Sotek Green vs Kroxigor Scale contrast for these guys? I tried Kroxigor Scale just now and it actually looks pretty sweet with a highlight, but I could see the layer paint being easier to work with and more consistent over the flatter areas. Thanks, awesome video and inspired me to make a tomb kings themed OBR army :)

[@BlackJackLegacy]

I think that when I painted these Kroxigor Scale Contrast wasn’t released yet. If you think it looks good go for it mate 👍🏼

[@legiox217]

@@BlackJackLegacy good shout mate, you’re probably right that it wasn’t released yet. I have played around with it on a couple models and I enjoy it, though it does require careful application over the flat panels as it is contrast paint, but I am going to try your way next and compare to see which is easier and more consistent. I gave them 1 layer of baharroth blue after the kroxigor and I was pleased. On the shield just have to watch the brush strokes

[@joshracey2899]

How do you base your minis, do you add the sand then glue the minis on, or glue the minis then add the sand?

[@BlackJackLegacy]

I tend to glue mini to the base, add the sand and then prime everything as this helps to seal the sand in place too.

[@joshracey2899]

@@BlackJackLegacy awesome, thanks for the quick reply 👍

[@BlackJackLegacy]

You’re very welcome.

[@MojoSogo]

I have Ossiarch Bonereapers and I want a Red/Black theme. Does black work as a main color? What third color would go well?

[@Asger55]

Loving this tutorial! But how did you do the ghost light colors on the feet of the big models in the back at the end of the video? Oh and the wings also? Cheers

[@BlackJackLegacy]

The wings was just the same aethermatic blue contrast paint. The feet is just the same as the bone. No different techniques 👍🏼

[@christianwhite8411]

Great video. I’m looking at a darker scheme for the army. Almost black. Just need to figure the highlight colours. Also thinking about, greyseer as a primer?

[@BlackJackLegacy]

I've seen some great looking darker bone ones - may try one myself to see how I'd do it.

[@Alittlefruitgoesalongway]

Yeah, I love the scheme in this army but I also love the look of the null myriad with their darker bone. Not sure which direction I'll go yet.

[@aspigoldi9398]

Wow

[@vitmatl9678]

Hi What texture paint did you use?

[@samdiliberto9614]

Hi, how do did you do the wings of the Harbingers? Love the video really good job

[@BlackJackLegacy]

Thanks Sam. I used the same Aethermatic Blue contrast paint that is used to do the eyes in the video.

[@samdiliberto9614]

@@BlackJackLegacy brilliant thanks!

[@jbenz32]

Did you paint katakros in this style?

[@riccardokrin3238]

That was a great an inspiring video! THANK YOU! Although I have a comment / question :) If you are careful and do not go over the armour with the skeleton contrast color, do you believe that the armour could be done similarly by using another contrast color? Or color spill are too challenging to avoid?

[@BlackJackLegacy]

Thanks! I think you could use a Contrast paint for the armour however I'd say they're rather flat and I don't think Contrast will give you the highlights. That said it would still look great.

[@Wargeneral7000111]

Great video! now a subscriber :)

[@BlackJackLegacy]

Thanks buddy. Can I ask how you found the video? Was it recommended to you or in a group somewhere? Been getting a spike in views and subs today so nice to see where they’re coming from.

[@bezzy8257]

That looks amazing. I'm definitely going to take some of this to put onto mine. I have two questions if I may: 1- do you think it would look ok with purple cloth to keep it looking different from the armour or will it make the model too "busy"? 2- how did you do the wings on the morghasts at the back of the army pic?

[@BlackJackLegacy]

hi mate - I think the purple cloth would fit well so worth a try. The wings are just the aethermatic blue contrast I used on the eye sockets all over - super easy and effective.

[@skroll8338]

Hi was searching for a tutorial and fidn this masterpiece great video you get a subscrive a like and all my gratitude ^^ one thing only you said the primer is wraithbone ?it seems grey seer ^_^

Hey buddy thanks. The primer is definitely wraithbone - I don’t own a can of grey seer 😉

[@ryanclubb4815]

the final result looks realy good but it just looks like too much work. especially if you a player plans to have a horde Mortek guard.

[@BlackJackLegacy]

It’s really not that much work and you could easily pull back on highlighting the blue but it is an easy scheme to replicate.

[@zachlimb2094]

This is by far the quickest method to paint osiarch bone legion. Hardly a challenge. However doesn't mean it doesn't look good.

[@Alittlefruitgoesalongway]

Yeah, this is quite a quick method for painting a good looking army. Many paint schemes and ways of painting take a lot more effort and time, it's just a part of the hobby, and many of us enjoy painting.
