Simple Spooky Skeletons - Painting Hordes the Easy Way! [How I Paint Things]

[@StormcastMarine]

I absolutely love listening to you mate You were there for my first steps into the hobby many years ago, and I'd like to think I've moved on to more advanced techniques that the essential, but still incredibly awesome, stuff you teach us here. Listening to your voice is like therapy. Keep doing what you're doing.

Egyptian Usekh: a broad collar necklace draped over the neck and shoulders, often secured with a clasp in the back. Many usekh collars were made with glazed ceramic beads and precious gemstones. Sometimes, they were made entirely from precious metals such as gold and silver.

Now that's handy to know! Thanks for sharing. :D

[@davidthomas6473]

Brilliant and inspiring as ever sir big thanks to you and the team ❤

ya gotta love a good Bones, and this is A Good Bones

[@ivans5245]

Great, do more OPR please

[@30SECONDSREMAINING]

I would love to see you do the Mummy Queen just to see how you tackle the bits of undead flesh.

[@loupiscanis9449]

Thank you , Troy . 🐺

[@davelandrytube]

Love the fact that you are painting "alternatives" to GW. One Page Rules produces some great models. I'd like to see you paint some more StationForge scavengers - I'm impressed with that Patreon as well. Keep up the great work.

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

I actually did pop up one of the Scavenger bikers not too long ago! :D

[@davelandrytube]

@@SonicSledgehammerStudio yeah :) would like to see more :)

[@liamwhittaker2853]

Your videos are brilliant! Thank you again ❤

[@robisonwells1]

Love it. This one takes me back--the first Games Workshop models I ever painted were a box of skeletons, because even a ten year old boy can drybrush white over black and have it look halfway decent.

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

I think we've all done that at some point! 😅 Now that takes me a way back.

[@Questioningbasics]

Going to be using this for my Tomb Kings throwback Necrons. Thank you so much for this tutorial =)

[@stevepickering5978]

Yes they are dead so wouldn't be clean would be nice and dirty Lovely looking figure expertly painted😁

[@hauntswargaming]

Great paint job! I love the color choices. I am putting together an army of these guys atm and will probably do something similar to this!

[@oswaldbastable4139]

Nice gem technique 😀

[@Strawfoot]

Thanks for another great video. I was a little stressed this morning but chilling out with a cup of coffee and watching you paint a skeleton was just what I needed. Much appreciated!

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

You know, I think I could do with a coffee myself...

[@alessiodecarolis]

In the"heroic" old days of early skeletons' minis, an Easy way to paint them was a base of light brown, then Citadel brown ink and a light drybrush with White, now it's all more sophisicated😊

[@Marshal976]

Another bang up paint job mate, well done!

[@irishtom30]

I really like nice, simple models for things like skeletons or zombies since they come in bulk! Wargames Atlantic has the most simple skeletons (nude skeletons, gasp) that still look great and have nice weapon, shield, and helmet options.

[@terrainaholic]

VEERY NICE!!!!!!!!

[@jammywesty91]

I like the new title card intro! This is just in time for my assembled Warlord Games Skeletons. Fiddliest things I've ever built; I legitimately knackered the tendons in my thumbs cleaning and assembling the boney bastards.

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Aha! I knew there was someone else making plastic skeletons out there, I just couldn't remember a couple of manufacturers. Glad to know this'll at least make one part easier!

[@ianlamont9434]

Another great video. I love skeletons of all sorts, I'm currently working on some skeletal Romans myself. The finish on the gems is fantastic!!

[@rickyl3136]

Love that gem 😍

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

That's some old magic! I've been doing gems and windows in that way since one of the old High Elf army books for Warhammer had a painting guide in its pages.

[@tabletopgeneralsde310]

Very nice tutorial mate, thanks for sharing.

[@Glasmn45]

Thank you so much for doing this! I have a bunch of the Mummified Undead printed and had no idea how to start to paint them. I hope you will do some of the other models from OPR as well - Battle Brothers anyone?

[@brushmans-guild]

Couldn't resist but look up what the Egyptian shoulder armour was called (it's one of those things I never thought about until now but as soon as you mentioned it I suddenly had to know!). Turns out, the modern references to these armour pieces I could find tend to use exotic terms like 'collar' or 'shoulder armour'. Every day's a school day!

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Look at that, I said someone always knows - or finds out! 😀

[@tharkwarrior]

Or Gorget

[@0bverse]

Hi Sam - the generic term for a piece of armour over the pectoral area is, rather underwhelmingly: a pectorale. There are specific examples, like the type used by some Roman gladiators, which was called a cardiophylax, or the medieval gorget. I don't know the specific type-name for the Egyptian-style version.

Prime with spray, airbrush, brush? Awesome job

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Almost always a spray, if you can get it. Specifics are always in the description if you need answers, too!

[@Humboyz]

@@SonicSledgehammerStudio Thanks and congrats for your videos!

[@ChuckThatNorris]

This is soo cool! Have been binging all your Bolt Action painting tutorials. Can I ask what size army painter brush you use ?

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Most of the time it's a regiment brush, but really it depends on what you're doing!

[@thelonepainter4760]

Question: You don’t need to cover the whole mini in primer? Like the areas the spray can can’t reach in? Awesome video as always.👍🏽🤘🏽

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

There's usually very, very few spots that won't get a tiny bit of primer on them anyway. You'll sometimes get a little hint of the resin or plastic in the very recesses, but as long as you're planning to paint over those, it should be fine.

[@thelonepainter4760]

@@SonicSledgehammerStudio ah ok it was driving me nuts. 😂Thank you!!👍🏽🙌🏽

[@fischziege]

I'm about to start my own little skirmish team of these, love the look, this will be handy. Did you scale up the mini? I did some of the mummified undead by OPR and found them tiny and impossible to paint cleanly.

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

This was printed from the 'assembled' set of files, but it hasn't been rescaled at all. It might be a little larger anyway, since this guy is on a 32mm base!

[@mommaneganhobbystuff2409]

Isn't it a bit early for scary doots? ;)

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

It never hurts to be prepared! ;D
