It's Angron. He's a beast. There's really nothing else to say! Thank you so much to ‪@officialwarhammer‬ for sending me this amazing Primarch model that will be the proud centre piece of my new World Eaters army. Super pleased with this result which only used 15 paints and made use of simple techniques like contrast painting and dry brushing!

This tremendous. What I love the most is how you've painted his armour like it was before his ascension. If I give in to temptation and pick this up I'll be super inspired (ok stealing heavily) from your scheme.

[@MediocreHobbies]

@@dylanowen9272 not yet but it won’t be far off.

[@Skinofgod]

Another lovely painting tutorial. For this mini I would be tempted to paint it without it attached to the base, to help with all those little angles.

[@MediocreHobbies]

It’s not as tricky as it looks to paint but it would make things a bit easier 😄 bigger models are always awkward though! Glad you liked the video! 🙌

[@Suddenlight98]

Going to copy it when I get Angron

[@MediocreHobbies]

That’s awesome to hear, let me know how it turns out!

[@Quaralane]

A lot of work went into that, and it shows

[@MediocreHobbies]

Cheers pal. But less work then you think.

[@eddieg82]

I was thinking about getting this model but was a bit intimated. This guide was really good and now I feel I can do this.

[@MediocreHobbies]

Aw that is so good to hear!! That’s exactly what I wanted to do with this tutorial so you have made me very happy with that! Cheers!

[@isophistchambers6694]

You brilliant wackadoodle! 😆🧐

[@MediocreHobbies]

Hahhaha to kind as always.

[@williamamely7038]

Arguably, Angron is the best Primarch model produced by GW. Hope all the Primarchs will come in plastic. Your step by step painting process is greatly appreciated by all watching your video. Thanks for sharing.

[@MediocreHobbies]

Very kind pal. And yes he is stunning. I’m sure we will get more plastic primarchs soon

[@SwarmsMacKenzie]

Excellent video, thanks for sharing this Andy. I must get my Bloodthirster of Insensate Rage finished that you kindly helped me start painting in the store a few years ago. I KNOW I KNOW i'm brutally slow with all this!, forgive me! 🙏

[@MediocreHobbies]

Hahaha for sure need to finish that beast pal. Hope your doing well.

[@wwezombiegod]

Looks sick can't wait to try something close to this with my Angron (whenever it arrives)

[@MediocreHobbies]

That’s great to hear, let me know how it goes! 🙌

[@wwezombiegod]

​@@MediocreHobbies just finished my Angron. I didn't do the dry brushing as I'm not sure how to and I wanted his armour to be golden. Only contrast I had was blood angels Red but looked good for me. He's not as grim dark as most people's but I'm so pleased with him. Thanks for the tutorial. The 2nd red layer of mephiston red was every good

[@MediocreHobbies]

@@wwezombiegod Delighted you got him painted! Glad the tutorial helped and a less grim dark Angron sounds very cool! Thanks for keeping me updated!

[@PainlessViking]

Amazing video, i love what the berseker bloodshade did to retributor, i wonder how would it look on top of greyseer primer as i plan to paint my world eater in heresy scheme

[@MediocreHobbies]

Oh nice. Let me know how it turns out.

[@huwtindall7096]

Awesome! Worth spending 30 mins on his right pauldron with the old World Eaters symbol as it's the only real connection on the mini to the original Legion. It's also facing forward on the mini so really pops and adds some interest.

[@MediocreHobbies]

Not a bad point at all. Thank you.

[@MrTibruk64]

Not familiar with the contrasts as much, I really loved that red for the skin. Thank you for the video

[@MediocreHobbies]

You’re welcome, glad you liked it! Contrasts are great for getting base coats down really quickly!

[@mkulchar]

Definitely easier then all tutorials. Other ones are going for golden demon levels and those people don't play so it's not realistic, for most people, and I am the worst at edge lighting. Nice job

[@MediocreHobbies]

Cheers pal. Glad it helped.

[@tommailey993]

Love these guides. Helped me so much. I'm doing the version with his mouth open and tongue out. What colour would you do the tongue?

[@MediocreHobbies]

Screamer pink probably. Glad you like it.

[@Grilli_paints]

Actually would love to know how you did the base

[@MediocreHobbies]

Astro granite debris brown wash drybrush dawnstone and then administratum grey

[@sixxth]

This guy looked amazing! was wondering how much water you use when you layer on top of the contrast paint? Asking for a new subscriber 😅

[@MediocreHobbies]

Not mush at all. Most of the time for layering I’m working from a wet pallet. And welcome to the hobby pal.

[@Gulantik]

What an awesome tutorial? Do you have something like this for Guilliman??

[@MediocreHobbies]

Not yet but I do have plans.

[@WarpedBrushes]

You should have a paintlist in the description-

[@MediocreHobbies]

Not a bad idea.

[@ryanfoster7234]

Will be using this guide for my own, but could you list all the paints used?

[@MediocreHobbies]

I shall see what I can do.

[@massey8]

Loving your guides for WE, working through my army in your style. I’m new to the hobby so helps so much! I have an airbrush, would you recommend using that for say his skin to start? Or just follow these steps?

[@MediocreHobbies]

I don’t use airbrushes on my channel in case people don’t have access to them but yeah if you have one it will save you some time for sure! Glad you’re enjoying the videos and if you have any more questions let me know!

[@MakutaDreadscythe]

Looks absolutely fabulous and super excited to get him painted up myself. Just a question as I’m going to be getting the army going myself this year, I know you usually zenithal with Grey Seer on your models. Is there any noticeable difference between using Grey Seer and White Scar for the zenithal highlights, assuming the same paints like Flesh Tearers Red? Cheers!

[@MediocreHobbies]

No not to much. Just make sure what ever you start with you follow through on the whole project.

[@alias-yv2ro]

When you got to the Mephiston red stage, how much did you thin down your paint? I’m not confident about layering up the skin, would drybrushing the mephiston red be a better option?

[@MediocreHobbies]

You can drybrush the skin yes. And just a touch of water.

[@CrisLowis]

I've recently discovered your Chanel and really liking the way you paint. Can I ask a newbie question. I always thought the idea with contrast paint was that you didn't need to shade and highlight so much. What's the point in using contrast paint and then layering on top with shade a lighter layers? I can see it looks great but I'm just trying to understand what role the contrast paint is playing and if it would be just as good to use normal paint?

[@MediocreHobbies]

You can of course use normal paints it will just take so much more time. So for instance base-coating this model with normal paints would take hours. With contrast it took maybe 20 minutes. Maybe less. So it’s a time save. And so times there or small parts that I don’t layer up so the contrast will stick around and look nice. Glad you like the channel.

[@saoshyant4329]

Any advice for getting under all the wires on his head to get to his neck? I’m painting mine fully assembled like you did and that part has some spots that I can’t seem to reach.

[@MediocreHobbies]

If you can reach them then they can’t see them so don’t worry to much. But I wouldn’t n worry about hitting the wires. Just reblack them when you finished.

[@Chrisofthemount]

Fantastic job! Quick q - where is the blood?

[@MediocreHobbies]

HahahHa I shall be adding some myself don’t worry.

[@flickcastJC]

Hey, did you get a new microphone? This video's audio sounded like a great step up for ya. Love your work.

I didn’t no. Just better post work I guess. Glad your enjoying the work.

[@MediocreHobbies]

[@SavageBehir]

He looks really good, I dig that brass effect on his armour! Do you want to paint your WE with he classic red scheme? Or some Khorne Deamonkin varians from a few years back? Or maybe something Horus Heresy related?

[@MediocreHobbies]

Standard world eaters for me. Although not quite as bright as the box art.

[@SavageBehir]

@@MediocreHobbies fair enough :). So now we have to wait and see what you concoct :D

[@vincebarlow4117]

The bases on your WE models always looks amazing. What do you use to base? I’ve ordered some astrogranite but I wanted to be sure.

[@MediocreHobbies]

Here you go! I’ve since discovered AK terrain texture paste is way better value but if you’ve already bought Astrogranite then stick with that! Let me know if you have any questions! kzbin.infomhFpWp5fsRs?si=ftpyGkolQIdH3b-J

[@Hello-1814]

How would the two thin coats work out for this?

I’m sure they would be great. Just a bit slower.

[@Angron_Of_Nuceria]

I look great 👍

[@rubentorre1345]

One question, when you are donde with the gold, just an idea, how would look like doing a little bit of the same, but with bronze?

[@TheJr7700]

Love your guide mate. Hopefully im going to start painting angron tomorrow if all goes well 😊 I would like to know why you prime with 2 paints? And why do you pick black and grey?

[@MediocreHobbies]

Thanks so much! I use black as a full coverage coat to cover up all the grey plastic, and black is great for adding shadows. The grey seer spray is then used from above(once the black is dry) to add light so the high points of the model are brighter than beneath it as they would be if the sun were shining from above. The grey seer spray is only lightly sprayed which means it also adds a rougher texture(not visible to us) for the contrast paint to cling better to! I use grey instead of white because white can be too stark and white spray is harder to get right so a light grey is easier! Hope all that makes sense!

[@TheJr7700]

@@MediocreHobbies Ty so much! Im gonna do it with classic paints instead of contrast(thats what I got), but I believe that your guide will help me alot anyway. You will get a sub from me, and im looking forward to more good guides from now on 😊 Ty mate!

[@neurotikk777]

do you have maybe a triad for me how to make a violet glow on the sword? Sorry if you hear this question too often, I saw you made a green undercoat on the sword at 13:10. Thanks!

[@MediocreHobbies]

Emm no green undercoat. Just a solid coat of red on the core bit of the blade with all the skulls in it. Then a drybrush of orange yellow and then white getting lighter with each step all over the blade. It’s simple.

[@codycurtin2295]

Could you layer Runelord Brass over the Retributor Gold for the armor or would it appear more silver?

[@MediocreHobbies]

It would be a bit more silver but still wouldn’t look bad.

[@weirdboiru294]

Heya just a quick question. Is that actually a zenithal prime or is it more like a grey seer prime? Don’t really see much black and the undersides of bud parts look mostly grey too. Thanks

[@MediocreHobbies]

It’s more of a heavy ish over spray. You rite that I don’t want to much black underneath as contrast will do very little to a dark dark surface.

[@DaBearsGSH]

Do you think this technique for the armor would work good for helbrecht?

[@MediocreHobbies]

I have a video on him! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmjagWmejN6gjc0

[@arranthorn8712]

how did you actually do the blade of the sword in the end?

[@MediocreHobbies]

Red drybrush orange then yellow then white. That’s it really.

[@JoshMC2000]

Do you plan to do Video's like this for the others?

[@MediocreHobbies]

Yes! I’ll be covering the whole range as they come out!

[@TheAutisticSasquatch]

How did you paint the sword?

[@MediocreHobbies]

Emmmm I can’t remember. Is it not in the video?

[@Tobi13131]

Could I also drybrush the retributor armor with Brass Scorpion, or would that not work?

[@MediocreHobbies]

No that should work maybe test it on a spare part first. No need to be experimenting on a primarch lol

[@Tobi13131]

@@MediocreHobbies xD i have a couple things i wanna test out and luckily a bloodletter i lost a leg while building, so the perfect specimen. i was also thinking about trying to paint his skin Mephiston red base, Flesh tearers red and then a coat of blood for the blood god. do you have a tip how to not make him shine that much afterwards?

[@Fuzzy112100]

Why do you base coat with black and then rattle can grey sear over the top?

[@MediocreHobbies]

The black is a solid coat the grey is more of a light dusting. It helps with the courtyard effect.

[@Fuzzy112100]

@@MediocreHobbies gotcha, najes alot of sense, thanks for the tutorials, I am trying contrast paints thanks to you!

[@SpiderShamcey]

Will it still work if I just prime my models grey? Dont have access to zenithal.

[@MediocreHobbies]

It’s just a solid black undercoat with a lighter spray of grey seer. You’ll lose some of the shadows but it should be okay by the end!

[@SpiderShamcey]

[@shadowstep1375]

I like the paintjob overall with my only real disagreement being about how you made it brass. It just looks like dulled gold to me.

[@MediocreHobbies]

That’s fair man

[@mkulchar]

If you base it in flesh tearer then layer it with my fist and that's a mighty big jump are you not then just better off basement all ineffistant then just do a shade Is you going from a base to another base paint

[@MediocreHobbies]

I find this way is faster and easier.

[@frostytheram7490]

My mate said paint the detailed bits first cause apparently ypu can paint the bigger parts easier

[@MediocreHobbies]

Emmm I personally wouldn’t give that pieces of advice. The reason being that the detail parts are usually on top of all the other parts. So that means of you paint them first you have to paint around them really carefully to get to everything else.

[@kennethquinnies6023]

Angron should be painted green, he is the primarch troll.

[@athollmcnicoll1028]

Still over priced if you ask me and for a Demon a tad to bright, as they are the kind that hangs back and watches the fight and directs the flow, so less red and more dirt professed I imagine.

[@MediocreHobbies]

So it’s a big centre piece model so is going to be expensive. I don’t mind the price. And are trying to say Angron stays at the back and directs the flow? I think you need to look up who and what Angron is.
