Your are the Bob Ross of Warhammer 40K painting! Legend! Genious and an pure artist!

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Wow, thank you so much for the kind words. 😊

[@alsmith5031]

This is actually a spot on comparison. Not thought of it before but yes! It's the calm and genuine manner combined with the immense tallent that makes it. So refreshing compared to all the faux-excited 'youtube personas'.

[@callfreaks9590]

@@alsmith5031 thanks buddy 🙏🏼 really have to say im enjoying his videos ao much and I dont even paint since 10 years but he makes me wanna go back to it. The calm, his voice and his brilliant talent is just insane 🙏🏼

[@my7hik]

Because every Khorne Prince needs a friend.

[@iananderson6463]

I came here to say the same thing…if Bob Ross was into DnD

[@JescoJimBo]

Been watching you paint since the old GW days. I remember telling my Warhammer buddy, 'man you gotta watch this Duncan dude paint!'. Your a legend mate! Keep up the great work.

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Oh wow, thanks!

[@NynesGG]

Love it, would love to see you take on Mortarion again as well, the way you make these bigger beasties look easier for the rest of us is absolutely needed

[@lucadilly4852]

he has already!

[@NynesGG]

@@lucadilly4852 on this channel? I’ve only seen the one from his Warhammer TV days

[@Kerath]

It's not just about how clean you paint the minis, it's about how you can take such an amazing project like Angron and divide it into easy to follow pieces. You make painting look and by that, BE easier, with enough patience, anyone can reach these levels. Especially on a big model like this one, where edge-highlighting is a bit easier. Games Workshop lost not only a talented painted, but a very talented and patient teacher, something that won't be easy to replace. Amazing video.

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Wow, thank you so much. Rog and I have been doing this for quite awhile now and we both love teaching people how to paint their mini’s.

[@SupersaiyanChristian]

i just finished Angron myself. i do like how you painted the top of the tail a darker color than the rest of his flesh. beautiful model

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Thank you! Cheers! It is an amazing miniature

[@killerdoogz2019]

I hope one day he does all the primarchs. I would one day like to have ferrus Mannus and fulgrim painted for a dropsite display but they look really intimidating

[@stefanodanzi2176]

Master Duncan! I started to follow your tutorials you've been at Warhammer, I improved my skills following your tutorials. A really big thank you to teach me all the techniques!! Hail to the academy!!!

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Great to hear! We are so glad we could help :-)

[@JohnnyTightIips]

Angry Ron is such a gorgeous model. Great tutorial Duncan, thanks!

[@the_darkroom_shed]

Watching your videos has inspired me to get back into the hobby again. I was heavily into it in the 90's. I won Young Bloods in '97 so the basics are there. Its been fantastic watching you paint and helping me pick up some new skills and ideas. Thank you.

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Wow, thank you so much for the comment and for letting us know. Welcome back to this incredible and fun hobby :-)

[@hakonjohansen3200]

I followed this guide, and it's probably the best I've ever painted. Thank you! I also appreciate that you used drybrushing for the skin, my preferred method.

[@stevebuk100]

This model is on it’s way for me to paint for a chap for his son, Warhammer is not my usual model preference but I do love them and your video will be priceless..

[@benrichardson5662]

Great stuff. This will be helpful for me painting a winged Daemon Prince, which my client wants to be an "Angron Wannabe" 😂 I think it's a great idea.

[@rupertbrink7514]

Phew! What a model...and what a video this must have been to make. I'll be following this guide to a T! (though I am going to airbrush those wings, skin, and armor in that order to help move the ol' process along and tidying up after. Thank you Duncan.

[@takezokensei2452]

Absolutely the number 1 in miniature painting

[@thorulkeiner424]

Your work is really great. What i noticed when you show the colours: nearly every time you apply "two thin coates" - makes me smile ;).

[@DaXiS1987]

When I get angron, this is the painting guide I will be using. Great video!

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Nurglewaffle]

Stunning as always! I have an Angron kit sitting in my hobby room for when I get time to get caught up on my actual armies. I don't really want to commit to a full World Eaters force but when I saw Angron, I had to have him!

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

He is a fantastic miniature for sure!

[@bigbrexitdad879]

buying this model next week, whilst ill be using different paints to what you have used its a good way to see if there is any smaller details you do in ways i prefer to the official warhammer tutorial. also it helps me get excited to paint him!

[@Ouwesnuifduif1]

Yeah the same for me, i will use the same colours for his skin and the sword but will definitely tone down the brass. Its a bit too shiny for my personal liking. Havent decided if i wanted to do iron or a darker more desatured brass

[@paul80085]

​@@Ouwesnuifduif1I found the use of a warm bronze color a bit odd given all the red skin. Runelord Brass from Citadel is much more of a cold tone and really balances the official studio piece

[@SalubriouzNL]

Congratz on 300K and another masterpiece.

[@keil5239]

Your guides for GW helped me paint Magnus and Mortarion, delighted you’ll be helping me through their brother too!

[@captnwinkle]

Lol, I remember how you taught me how to paint Daemon Magnus. That transition on the wings was Genius!!!

[@thedaleymeelee3389]

The emperor of mankind will not forgive you for making Angron look this good..

[@Andrew-el8xi]

I'm pleased he's gone out on his own..the best out there ...great advice on methods ...very talented..... didn't realize how big this figure is !

[@Paranormal-Stupidity]

This looks so good, and very achievable too. Congratulations on 300k, and thanks for teaching me how to paint when I first started out.

He’s definitely on my list to paint!

[@mirage809]

The angriest Ron of them all. An absolutely awesome sculpt, painted wonderfully. Many of the parts of this video are also very useful if you are interested in painting a Bloodthirster. In a way Angron is just a really big, scary Bloodthirster so many of the steps used here will look great on there as well.

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Couldn't agree more

[@theyetigaming4561]

I've been watching you paint for some time now and you are my favourite youtube miniature painter. Would really like to see you paint some large seraphon models as there are very few videos I like about painting those!!. Keep up the good work dude

[@11679MRT]

Simply amazing as always. I think if I had this model I'd add some blood splatter for flair.

[@chrisk5983]

watched all your videos on the old GW channel as a kid when you were there. Im much older and now back to picking up a brush thanks to you. Congrats on 300k

Firstly congratulations on 300k! Okay so i watched your magnetic box video and it saved me a lot of money and space, this alone made me bite the bullet and sign up for your website, really love the amount of content on there, you did say to ask in the comments for stuff we would love to see more of on the website and i would just love to see more MESBG! i know its not as popular but there is a still a calling for it, anything in Thorins company and the fellowship and literally anything you haven't already done would be awesome ! Keep up the good work

Just bought my first getting started models , some paints and brushes. After watching this they are all going to get a ceremonial burning 🔥 in the garden. If this is the standard then it’s as beyond what I will be able to achieve as hitchhiking to Saturn 🪐 😔 so I’m going to Mongolia 🇲🇳 where I intend to live as a goat 🐐

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Nooo....remember that I have been painting for over 20 years, it's just down to practice and you will get there. If you are interested, we have a beginners course over on our website (www.duncanrhodes.com) that will teach you all the fundamentals you need to know, then it's just about putting some time in and having tons of fun :-)

[@ravenRedwake]

1:10 sub assemblies were really hard to achieve with this, where you got multiple structures being codependent for getting the guy together. It’s like a cadberry crème egg.

Excellent tutorial! - Mr Tuth Incotes

How fortuitous I find this as I'm building my Bloodletters for my new Khorne Daemon army. Most splended. Any more tips for highlighting that red devil skin?

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Awesome

[@angryhamster08]

Does this model come with a paint guide. Like which paints you would need etc. I'm new to this hobby so just trying to soak up as much info and inspiration as I can for my journey in trying miniatures. As I've been building more 1/35 army tanks planes etc so fancying a bit of a change

Dayum!

[@goddamnfish]

Haven't notice Angron has got some big o' biceps on his wings until now...guess he didn't skip wing days at gym XD

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

He pushes weights brah.

[@MaskedRiderChris]

*CHUGCHUGCHUGCHUGCHUGCHUGCHUGCHUG* WOOOOORLD!!!!! EEE-TAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!! *in Karl Willetts voice* (If you know, you know) A right proper Primarch , for sure! But I'm puzzled as to why you went to the trouble to paint the plugs in his arms when the shoulder pads were going to cover them up? I also, had it been me painting this monster, would've worn a glove on my hand holding the miniature so as to keep the paint from rubbing off where I touch it. But dang, this thing is MIGHTY, Duncan.

[@martinjeppesen1294]

very good tutorial on Angron. has follow you since you painted magnus the red on warhammer tv. hope that you someday will make for blue skin (frost gigants skin)

[@DickFitzwell0917]

Enjoy the time off Dunc and Rog! Then back to work to get me Wave 3 of TTC!

[@mdmh84]

@Duncan: please can you advise how to use shade paints on surfaces without leaving a glazed effect? Big fan of your master class techniques, here and on whtv. Keep up the good work. I try to go for matte colors schemes with my models and the problem I have with using shades is that, in general, it produces a shiny, glazed effect on the model. The effect I find most pronounced on flat surfaces such as armour, skin or cloth. Aside from drybrushing, is there any way to avoid this? Many thanks.

[@diebabrika8904]

Hello Duncan! I found my way into Miniature-Painting through you, and I really like your tutorials - Even if I developed another style over the years. I recently got some of your paints too, and I am hooked! They are great. Since my Citadel-Washes are running out I wanted to ask you (or anyone who does know it too) what product of your range could be used instead of nuln-oil?

[@kaspersaldell]

Oblivion Black wash

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

That’s great, thank you for the kind words. Oblivion Black wash will do the trick

[@diebabrika8904]

Thanks for your answer!@@DuncanRhodesDRPA

[@ArkAngel_45]

Love the paint scheme, love the model, the only thing i really did with mine that's different that i loved is that i used Carroburg crimson wash on the World Eaters symbols. It came out looking like oceans of Blood on the planets and i dont think anyone else notices but me

[@robertjensen1438]

Did you hear about the painter who was hospitalized? The doctors say it was due to too many strokes. I guess he should have stuck to two thin coats.

[@markleicht8336]

Duncan how do you prevent issues where your hands rub off paint? When handling the model and moving it around to work on painting various areas?

[@christopherroutt4937]

It's the sweat on your hands that does that so you could hot glue a wine cork to the underside of the base and hold it that way. If you cant do that, surgical gloves or latex gloves of sort. They need to be smooth so you dont rub paint away.

[@Hello-1814]

Great job! I love that you just don’t use your company’s paints!!!! Shows a willingness to use whatever tool’s best for the job

[@Dewoy1]

What is this smooth paper on your wet palet? Its looks so clean compared to mine.

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Lots of smoothing lol. We use Red Grass or Army Painter paper

[@reddragon4482]

I'd love to see you tackle a Lord Of Change or Kairos Fateweaver at one point too 😀 Hopefully that's next on the list for 350k ;-)

[@ageoflove1980]

Is there a reason why you would fully do the skin before blocking in all of the other basecoats? Or is this more about making the video flow better and prevent it from becoming repetative?

[@warhammerlover3634]

Duncan i have been watching so many of youzr videos and i really admire your kind of painting, but may i ask you a question to why are you not basecoating your miniatures anymore and just going on top of it with the colours itself. I stiill use my old paining techniques, where i basecoat the miniatures with black, white or in special cases another basecoat. Is there a reason, why you are doing this directly on the plastic? I would like to know, because every time i see it i am puzzled by this.
