I seem to have found this video a little over 2 years too late. The best, I repeat, THE BEST bone golem diy tutorial I've ever seen. It's nice to see someone who actually takes the aesthetic seriously.
hahah apparently... I fear that song could get rather confusing with this guy... "the leg bone's connected to teh...rib cage, the rib cage connected to the... other rib cage... and thats connected to like..... a billion skulls, hear them rattling bones"
Great tutorial! Saw this on Reddit and it definitely has inspired me to make one myself! Can't wait to kill off the bard of my group by using one of these...manical laugh...shouldn't have tried to court the undead bride should you have mister bard!
I've had piles of broken off skeleton bits in a bag for a couple months now hoping to make something like this. This is the perfect tutorial, thank you!
Glad I could help you use up your skeletal bits! My family was all laughing saying "who in the world is gonna have a bunch of skeletons lying around". I responded "you don't know the crafting community very well huh?" lol
Super great video! Cant wait to see more and i hope you get really big on youtube because id like to see weekly videos. Mainly you iust seem to have a ton of great tips and methods that make this look easy. Never stop giving out those tips! I'll share something with you. Gun patches make a great "sack" cloth for miniature. They take glue very well and one pack will last a lomg time.
Thanks so much :) I would LOVE to release weekly videos! Right now I am gunning for every other week, mainly because some of these projects take me a week to make and then another to edit the footage. Gun metal pouches eh?.... Love these tips, I am gonna have to give this a try!
I love a channel that gives Apple Barrel a little love. People tend to think it's a crap paint because it's cost effective, when in reality it is actually from Plaid, the Folk Art and Mod Podge people
These are amazing tutorials and builds Critical Crafting, I have learned a lot. I am now going to continue crafting minis and monsters. Greetings from a fellow craftsman and glue gun slinger! 😁
Have the larger on hand but not the smaller - love the video - and the ones you made at the end - will have to make 3-4 of them! thanks for the painting tips as well
no problem! I have been having trouble finding the smaller ones in my dollar store this year :/ but there is a link to them through amazon in the description if you get desperate! Be sure to share them when you are done, would love to see what you make :)
Awesome video! I think it would have been really cool if you would have had some skull sticking out of the back with more arms that could actually maybe hold weapons, like it could see all over and defend itself from multiple angles.
This looks really good what a nasty terrifying monster it is. Some glowing in those eye sockets might be nice perhaps some glue from the magic powering the thing too. Have you tried going over it with mod podge to strengthen it without losing detail? Can even add your base color to it like Jeremy of BMC.
wow I call my self a messy painter. but you sir you are a true master. how you made all your messing all over the place in to that nice painting. ..I have no ide
I found these skeletons a couple of years ago and I'm still surprised that I don't see a lot of people using them. Yes I know they're poor quality and the scale is not the same but they make great minis and dioramas. Personally I have been building my own little army of them but I don't post them on my TH-cam channel, those go to my Instagram.
Thanks! I was raiding the local dollar stores trying to pick up as many as I could to make a skeletal bridge but they kept running out! I didn't have enough for the bridge but I looked at the large skeletons and... light bulb
lol sorry for the wait! The holidays have kept me busy and I wanted to be sure to bring people a quality tutorial. Glad the idea inspired you to make your own! I would love to see it! If you haven't already check out some of the bone golem variants at the end of the video, they may inspire you to make another....
Critical Crafting Just posted my attempt at r/DnDIY if you’re interested. I only had large skeletons so it wasn’t any horrific aberration, but it still looks great!
ha! My pinky has never fully healed from my fall down the basement stairs..... I like storing all my bits and bobs in jars in by drawers so i can see them :)
I don't play DnD and I don't think I will, but man do I have some mad respect for you, putting that much effort into the game so everyone can have full immersion, that's awesome
Been going to the Dollar Store recently to grab some skulls and bone packs and that place is ALWAYS picked over! They can’t seem to keep the stuff on the shelf! 😳
just got an idea from this. wizard: Look theres a skeleton! near that cliff! palidin: no matter i'll go and just puch it off. DM: all according to plan... as you see the skeleton falling you see it pull a bucket of milk out of a bag of holding, it pours it over itself. suddenly the party is in a battle with a skeleton that used the power of milk.
you say apple barrel? pretty sure that is basically the only kind of good paint you can find at my house. however appearently we must have used most of it as all that's left is a yellow.
Nice thing is it is so inexpensive to get more! Yellow you say... how bout making Hastur the king in yellow? Or a giant hornet? Or a palace with a ruler who's signature color is yellow?
TH-cam, you recommended this to me so late, but boy, am I glad that it finally made it's way to me. I've chopped up tons of these guys to put on other models, no idea why I never thought to slap them together like this! They look sick!
Kinda surreal because I remember having a dream starring something that looked similar to this. What's worse it was one of those chase dreams where the damn thing kept tailing me.
Thanks for subbing :) If there is ever anything you are super interested in let me know, I also do polls on my facebook page for content. There is some pretty cool stuff 3d printing wise for action figures
"Welcome to the bone zone pal" *grabs you from across the room*
Hehhehehehehehe EEEVIILLLL!!!
he'll rattle your ribcage!
Rattle me bones!
I seem to have found this video a little over 2 years too late. The best, I repeat, THE BEST bone golem diy tutorial I've ever seen. It's nice to see someone who actually takes the aesthetic seriously.
Thank you so much! Sometimes I feel like nobody sees or appreciates aesthetic in stuff like this so it is so encouraging to hear :)
I like how at the end he describes how many things you can make with bones. Just like the necromancer do.
So the arm bone IS connected to the leg bone after all! B)
hahah apparently... I fear that song could get rather confusing with this guy... "the leg bone's connected to teh...rib cage, the rib cage connected to the... other rib cage... and thats connected to like..... a billion skulls, hear them rattling bones"
@@CriticalCrafting based on the intro, are you the guy that makes the little lungs, anti smoking ads?
@@jacobhoekman6865 No lol not sure what those even are haha
This looks so easy and really creative! I’m leading my PCs to an undead themed fight in the coming months. Totally going to give this a try!
Awesome! Shoot my a pic when you finish it up, would love to see it!
4 Years later, probably wont see this, but how did it go?
Dude.... killer, man. Great idea and variety!
Basically super cheap bone lego's. Just seperate, add glue. Brilliant! Awesome builds!
The instructions on this video sounds like something Dr. Frankenstein would say if he were to make a "How to.." youtube video.
This video randomly popped up on my recommended feed and I absolutely love it. I've been looking for a video like this for years it feels like.
Thanks so much :) Glad you liked it!
Amazing build! All that glue and mushy appearance looks like resin all over the bones. Really terrifying!
Great tutorial! Saw this on Reddit and it definitely has inspired me to make one myself! Can't wait to kill off the bard of my group by using one of these...manical laugh...shouldn't have tried to court the undead bride should you have mister bard!
Gnarly! I always put a little dishwasher rinse aid into my washes to make them flow without getting bubbly.

@@CriticalCrafting gun patches. They are little bits of cloth that you run down your barrel to clean residue.
Once you get to be a big channel (and you could be) hire an editor.
Nicely done 👍. This is one of the best, Dollar Store, Bone Golem builds I’ve seen.
I love a channel that gives Apple Barrel a little love. People tend to think it's a crap paint because it's cost effective, when in reality it is actually from Plaid, the Folk Art and Mod Podge people
oh yeah i use it all the time for scatter and stuff
These are amazing tutorials and builds Critical Crafting, I have learned a lot. I am now going to continue crafting minis and monsters.
Greetings from a fellow craftsman and glue gun slinger! 😁
Thanks a ton! Glad you like them :)
Thanks for the detailed steps! Definitely helpful to see the whole process :)
Thanks! I have often wondered if it is important to show the entire thing (even with some parts really sped up) so I am glad to hear it helped!
@@CriticalCrafting Yeah, the level of detail was perfect in this video!
Absolutely stunning! Well done!
Thanks! Much more to come :)
OOo~H or sculp a Dragon skull with runes written on it since it's the base\core of the spell for the head. LOVE this Idea and video Thank You !
Nice job. I've got an undead siege engine/construct that I'm going to build, and this gave me a good base to work with. Thanks!!!
Awesome! Send me a pic when it is done I would love to see it :) It is great to see people using some of these techniques in other builds.
Have the larger on hand but not the smaller - love the video - and the ones you made at the end - will have to make 3-4 of them! thanks for the painting tips as well

A genius idea! And why not?! Plenty of skeletons and weapons to work with. If you build one. I would love to see it!
Those are some Spooky Bois, definitely updooted!
lol thanks! (skeletal dooting intensifies)
Hey Bards craft do this project next
Jaaaaaaaagaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !!!!!!!!!!!
This looks really good what a nasty terrifying monster it is. Some glowing in those eye sockets might be nice perhaps some glue from the magic powering the thing too. Have you tried going over it with mod podge to strengthen it without losing detail? Can even add your base color to it like Jeremy of BMC.
Not a bad idea at all, I used glue cause I had it on hand but modge podge should work just as well
*Now it's to make a visualisation of this beast with all of the skin and muscle attached*
Love what you do with those skeletons!
wow I call my self a messy painter. but you sir you are a true master. how you made all your messing all over the place in to that nice painting. ..I have no ide
amazing work , thanks.
This perfect for the skeleton juggernaut in Ghost of Saltmarsh! I was thinking of doing something similar, thanks for the inspiration.
It's coming up to spooky season and YT recommended me this, ah perfect! I'd love to make one of these for myself!
YES! Be sure to share it I would LOVE to see it. We just added stats for it on the patreon ;P
Really cool build! I will send you a picture a soon as I make one myself💀
Awesome! Excited to see it :)

I am now obsessed with kit bashing and dollar store builds
I gotta do it
this is beautiful. well done
Defiantly an inspiring and creative video.
Awesome build!
This would be good for a warhammer "Mega Necron" for the necron army or something. 👍💀💀💀 (Just paint it like a necron tone)
appreciate the wood glue tip
These are, without a doubt, spooky scary skeletons
They'll send shivers down your spine (xylophone sounds)
I’ve been waiting all week since I saw this on reddit! Tired of the wait, so I decided to make my own lol. Great video!

@@carnivaldale7984 Just saw it, looks great!
POV: grave lord Nito’s laundry day
i just found great holloween inspiration
DUDE, that is sick, really cool
I noticed the casualties on ur hand... also those skeletons in jars look funny
ha! My pinky has never fully healed from my fall down the basement stairs..... I like storing all my bits and bobs in jars in by drawers so i can see them :)
Love this! You got my sub.
Can't wait to make my own.
Awesome! Share a pic to my Facebook page when you finish it I would love to see what you make :)
I don't play DnD and I don't think I will, but man do I have some mad respect for you, putting that much effort into the game so everyone can have full immersion, that's awesome
Thanks! I do take a lot of time building sets, getting music and the game prepped etc. It is absolutely a labor of love.
Been going to the Dollar Store recently to grab some skulls and bone packs and that place is ALWAYS picked over! They can’t seem to keep the stuff on the shelf! 😳
I watch this every year! This year or next year I’m making them!
Do IT!
Some amazing work with what other youtubers where saying aren't good for painting.
thanks man! I find just about anything can be painted if you put your mind to it :p
dark souls devs: Hmm, interesting...
Overall looks very similar to my Xenomorph figure with the colour and texture
Awesome work!
I would love to see this but with more of a grey epoque color with like darker bones.
This man has so much talent
Thanks so much!
Probably should drybrush on a lighter shade to bring out the raised areas before you gloss varnish it
This was something I learned the hard way, I think i learned a lot painting this one, and applied that new knowledge in my dracolich video
Love this vid, made 2 Bone Golems, will make more.
Those are wonderfully sick!!! Thanks! Liked & subscribed!
you know what. im gonna also make a "manual of bone golems" homebrew magic item alongside this
YYYYYYYYYYEEEEEESSSSSSS share it in the Critical Crafting Discord if you get a chance :) discord.gg/K8GutudqCb
Absolutely love the appearance it's so cool
just got an idea from this.
wizard: Look theres a skeleton! near that cliff!
palidin: no matter i'll go and just puch it off.
DM: all according to plan... as you see the skeleton
falling you see it pull a bucket of milk out of a
bag of holding, it pours it over itself.
suddenly the party is in a battle with a skeleton
that used the power of milk.
Do this with 12 foot home depot skeletons and you shall have some *fun*
YES
Thanks for the video. I'm never going to do this, but was good to watch. lul
I never see this but, what about spines for fingers? Long snake like fingers for grabbing and looking all creepy
that would be..... utterly terrifying... I LOVE it
This looks so damn cool
I would've dry brushed some reds in to make the bones look more "fresh"
I got some tamiya color gloss red that would look AMAZING doing that
This looks super cool
This looks like something from Bendy and the Ink Machine, I love it.
I will use this model of Skeleton in my RPG.
i saw the little thumbnail gif and i thought your were rolling a joint lmao
The Iron monger suit if the iron monger was a necromancer
Okay now make a omega golem skeleton by glueing the golems together in an amalgamation of death and terror.
MWAHAHAAHAAA
The breakup buddy: I sleep
B o n e r M a n: WOKE
WOW! thats awesome! i love them all
I did it and made a three human headed dog and it turned out so good
That is awesome! If you get a chance share it on my facebook group, I would LOVE to see it.
@@CriticalCrafting my brother also made one and it’s a rooster because I had extra bones left over
@@CriticalCrafting can you share your Facebook group
@@milkyw4ywastaken76 sure thing! facebook.com/Critcrafting
@@CriticalCrafting thanks we just posted them hope you like them
Instructions unclear bone golem is 30 feet tall and is causing chaos in the street
I wonder how many more giant skeleton monstrosities you could create, just by gluing smaller skeletons together?
The possibilities are ENDLESS!
Imagine building one of these using full sized plastic skeletons
Oh... oh yes
you say apple barrel? pretty sure that is basically the only kind of good paint you can find at my house. however appearently we must have used most of it as all that's left is a yellow.
Nice thing is it is so inexpensive to get more! Yellow you say... how bout making Hastur the king in yellow? Or a giant hornet? Or a palace with a ruler who's signature color is yellow?
split a bunch of rib cages in half
and make wings with it?
Imagine if the only thing you could hear is the audio and the word skeletons was edited out.
This would sound alot more spooky.
I'm going to make some bone golems in Adobe medium! I'll let you know how it or they turn out.
Please do! Excited to see them!
budget neto gonna wreck your dnd session
So um just coming across your channel, but this is some really cool content!
Thanks so much! Hoping to get some more out there soon!
this is next level bionicles
Dude, this is beautifully terrifying! I can barely wait to make one of this to face my players. Thanks for sharing your wisdom with us!
Any time!
TH-cam, you recommended this to me so late, but boy, am I glad that it finally made it's way to me.
I've chopped up tons of these guys to put on other models, no idea why I never thought to slap them together like this!
They look sick!
So glad the video finally made its way to you :) I would love to see what you’ve made!
Those guys were super bad ass looking
Perfect!
Easily the most disturbing and grotesque mini I've ever seen. Well done!
The TH-cam algorithm is fucked, but in a good way.
well i now have a new project, thank you sir
Kinda surreal because I remember having a dream starring something that looked similar to this. What's worse it was one of those chase dreams where the damn thing kept tailing me.
This is sick man!
I would love to see a war hammer slash mallet made from skulls and femurs
Fantastic work! Instant Like and Sub
I made a version of this with dinosaur skeletons instead! Was very very fun!!
That is awesome! I would LOOOOVE to see it
in the middle of the video, i just paused and had the greatest idea ever: RIBCAGE CANNON
