How to paint the new Cadian Sentinel for Astra Militarum! Super simple and fast tutorial!

[@moneymayweather123]

Andy, I found your channel since I was looking to get back into 40K & you have inspired me to build an Astra army and I am starting with a box of shock troopers. Love the videos!

[@MediocreHobbies]

@@moneymayweather123cheers pal. That’s very kind. Glad I could help.

[@cordial001]

Really nice job and I'm glad to find someone who likes the new sentinel as much as I do.

[@MediocreHobbies]

It’s an amazing model.

[@jmc7034]

I love the way you paint these machines. Quick and easy with great results

[@MediocreHobbies]

Need to paint so many so quick and easy is the only option.

[@TheAbdominalSnowman]

Your video was really good, your paint stippling techniques worked brilliantly for me. I ended up getting a really great-looking sentinel out of it

[@MediocreHobbies]

So happy to hear that pal.

[@rossh3327]

I just baught this model today (my very first model) and ive gotta say... im gonna go my damn best to immitate this wonderful work!

[@rossh3327]

what brushes do you use?

[@MediocreHobbies]

Congratulations pal. It’s a great hobby. And you will love it. The brushes I use and 90% gw and for the stippling it’s the artis opus series d brushes.

[@Northern_LAD]

Literally just started painting for the first time and got a sentinel yesterday!!! The dabbing the green over the armour plates just saved me man I based it black and as soon as I started with the green the black was streaking through!!! Lifesaver hahahah

[@MediocreHobbies]

Haha perfect video to help then! That's great, welcome to the crazy world of painting minis, hope you enjoy and ask any questions you have!

[@Mr_Waffle.]

Wait why have I never seen plasma coils done with a white dry brush over black until now?! Absolutely genius! Definitely doing it that way from now on!

[@MediocreHobbies]

Love it! Glad it helped!

[@daviddalglish9430]

It's great how much love the guard are getting at the moment, hopefully a few more classic regiments will pop back up too. Need to invest in some of those AO brushes to try the stippling technique, it gives a great looking result.

[@MediocreHobbies]

I think there well worth it and if taken care of will last so long.

[@christophercassidy-schroed9169]

Amazing mate. Keep.pumping the content out your doing a great job!

[@MediocreHobbies]

I plan on don’t worry about that.

[@mirage809]

Cadia stands! I've never met anyone that dislikes the Guard. In a universe full of transhuman super people the regular people still manage to be awesome. Who needs all that fancy stuff when you have the old reliable laser gun and a Leman Russ tank? I love the Sentinel. It reminds me of the AT-ST from Star Wars in the all the right ways, except these are properly grimdark.

[@MediocreHobbies]

Everybody loves the guard.

[@nomis19821982]

Always reminds me of at st from star wars

[@MediocreHobbies]

Yes! I really should paint one in that scheme some day 😄

[@kmccallig]

Another really nice model Andy. Well done. Just a note for anybody thinking of getting the 'Cadia Stands' box set. It looks like the Combat Patrol for Guard is going to contain exactly the same models (it just won't have the Codex or Cards).

[@MediocreHobbies]

Well that’s interesting. Good to know thanks.

[@Thedagda801]

Great tutorial Andy!

[@MediocreHobbies]

Thanks so much 🙌

[@lowfieldarmspubquiz3060]

Love your videos, Great tutorial, followed this on mine and very pleased with the results. Thanks.

[@MediocreHobbies]

That’s awesome to hear, love when people come back to comment after using the tutorials 🙌 thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it!

[@0to100Art]

Art is little to compliment you, but you deserve more because you are an artist 😘

[@MediocreHobbies]

Your far to kind pal. Thank you.

[@johnbennett4600]

Love the looks of the new Imperial Guard. Sadly, the prospect of re-buying my guard army is out of the question, so I will cherry pick the units/models I want to add. As for the painting... love it as always. The stippling of the armor works so well. Will try that when I get a Rogal Dorn (or two). Awesome tutorial!

[@rosasakura4172]

The new soldiers are the same size luckly

[@johnbennett4600]

@@rosasakura4172 that actually makes me feel better. Would hate to see the new Cadians be taller... kinda like first born/primaris. Thanks.

[@MediocreHobbies]

No need to replace at all just add what you like into the army.

[@40kwarriortuber92]

Thats an interesting design take on the new sentinel . Love the paint! I just finished 3 of the older ones. Would have been nice to do a side by side comparison of size with new and old!

[@MediocreHobbies]

Thanks so much! There’s a comparison of the old and new sentinels on my community page!

[@maxmoanz6561]

Hey mate! Do thin the paint before stippling it, or is straight from the pot. I will be using your technique for my sentinel, it looks great!

[@MediocreHobbies]

Straight from pot. Well pot to pallet and the. Onto model. You don’t. Want it to thin trying to stipple.

[@maxmoanz6561]

@MediocreHobbies ookie dokie I appreciate the replay :)

[@ovan2190]

This looks great, saw your comparison picture and I believe these look slightly better than the older sentinel but in a less is more kind of way. The old one looks really cool but the new one feels a lot better designed for some reason probably just me Great video as always Andy :)

[@MediocreHobbies]

Yes agreed! It’s a much sleeker design and looks a lot cleaner! The older one has a bit more character but the new one makes more “sense” as a design! Glad you liked the video, thanks for the support!

[@TheMariusDarkwolf]

Great Job Andy

[@MediocreHobbies]

Cheers pal, appreciate it!

[@michaeldooley111]

i was hoping youd get the guard box!! keen to see your take on their models.

[@MediocreHobbies]

I was praying I would haha Lots more videos on the way, don’t worry! Thanks for the support!

[@chappy4756]

Just got my pre-order in. Don't know if its just Canada or worldwide but they put a limit of 2 boxes per order so maybe people will all get it if they want it no Cursed City issues.

[@MediocreHobbies]

That’s fair. Glad you got it you won’t be disappointed.

[@zipperdan3969]

I’m getting one of these for my orks to loot! It’s gonna be a deaf dread

[@MediocreHobbies]

Ohhhh that would be awesome to see a looted version of this! Please tag me if you do it and post it online!!

[@virusofnurgle6896]

Man you’re a machine

[@MediocreHobbies]

Thanks pal

[@jonpalms3951]

Would you do this solid green scheme on your Leman Russes as well or would you do a type of camo?

[@MediocreHobbies]

@@jonpalms3951 same. I’ve done few example tanks on the channel. Check out my Rogal dorn video.

[@jonpalms3951]

@@MediocreHobbies awesome, will do

[@teessidetyrants1989]

Very nice

[@MediocreHobbies]

Cheers pal.

[@hootie_o]

looks so good! would you recommend the same techniques for the other vehicles like the lemun russ or new rogal dorn tank?

[@MediocreHobbies]

I would indeed. I will be doing both of those tanks as part of this series so I can see it in action first.

[@hootie_o]

@@MediocreHobbies thanks so much! what are your thoughts on using a moot green drybrush for the highest points, for kind of a “green glow” affect? Really appreciate these drybrushing videos!

[@Sirhc223]

Loving the paint job! Just got a question about the model - how poseable is the new kit? I really liked the old legs with their different locking points for the joints and the ball joint at the foot, it made every sentinel feel unique from a model building point of view, but every single new sentinel I've seen is in pretty much the same pose, which has me worried about how poseable the new kit will be. Would it be possible to make multiple sentinels and have each of them in a different pose?

[@MediocreHobbies]

I don’t believe it’s as possible as as the old one. But there are build options for the legs so they won’t all be in the same pose.

[@gingerboy1123]

Do you pin these to these bases? or just glue them? I love the bases btw.

[@MediocreHobbies]

Just glue them after. No pinning.

[@captainkarnage9874]

Is there an open top build like the old model I'm wanting to convert one for my GSC army

[@MediocreHobbies]

There is indeed.

[@FlashAndSmash]

hey man! Just wondering, how did you manage to do those poles that hold up the wires on your base? are you just using some type of popsicle stick?

[@MediocreHobbies]

I have a krieg basing video that explains it a bit better but it’s coffee stirrers from my local shop 😄 they’re much thinner and suit the scale better than popsicle sticks, very handy for hobby!

[@FlashAndSmash]

@@MediocreHobbies Yeah, that video inspired me to do my IG army tbh! was always wondering about the barbed wire fences tho, since the fences didnt look like coffee stirrers as well, looked much more like metal!

[@The0Bored0Network]

Chicken walker!!!

[@MediocreHobbies]

Always.

[@jagermeister_1754]

For krieg with the base colour being Eshin grey, what colours should I use with this technique? Thanks

[@MediocreHobbies]

50/50 dawnstone and eshin and then pure dawn stone.

[@jagermeister_1754]

@@MediocreHobbies thanks!

[@InnuendoOutTheOther]

Not a huge fan of the new imperial guard aesthetic, but nice tutorial
