Old World Diaries: Beastmen Brayherds! The basic Gor infantry

[@OldHammerMiniPainter]

Beastmen totally rock!!! Before Rogue Trader came along, all we had was warhammer fantasy, which was no bad thing, and while most of my school friends were into orcs, goblins and dwarves, i really fell in love with beastmen, and ended up painting loads in my early teens. Fastforward 35 years and i find myself painting those figures all over again, buying so many beastmen and minotaurs, and having such a blast painting them up! Have even considered creating my own channel to show off those obscure 1980s metal minis but i know nothing about video editing or anything, so who knows, maybe one day ill take the plunge!

[@MediocreHobbies]

You for sure should. I had no idea when I started it’s not as hard as you think. I’d for for watch those videos.

[@jakobo88]

This is the mediocre type of paintjob and content focused on the old world that I was looking for... keep it going!

[@MediocreHobbies]

Haha thanks man, lots more to come!

[@texaswargaming]

Turned out great, hope to see Old World army showcases of each of your armies when completed.

[@MediocreHobbies]

Will definitely try to do more showcases!

[@goforitpainting]

It was one of my first GW boxes many years ago.

[@MediocreHobbies]

That’s so cool

[@Arqueeek]

Just started to paint my first miniatures in 20 years. Your videos are really helpful, just one thing to make them better - would be nice if you summarize all paints that you used on one list in video or description. Thank you for your work!

[@MediocreHobbies]

Glad to hear pal.

[@MediocreHobbies]

Cheers man, used to do it, will try get the paint lists going again!

[@metajock]

Looks good. Can't imagine having to do 150 of those.

[@MediocreHobbies]

I know rite lol.

[@tsrichards16]

Definitely more Beastmen! Especially since they are Old World exclusive now. Great video!

[@MediocreHobbies]

Hahhaha not quite exclusive.

[@tsrichards16]

@@MediocreHobbies Very true. Fazed out might be a better term lol.

[@Dasike]

Well interested in a army vlog about beastmen. Such an underrated army. You done a great job Andy. Can't wait to see more

[@ksbsnowowl3569]

Agreed. I have several boxes of Beastmen to work on. I smiled when this video popped up. I’d love to see more videos on painting Beastmen.

[@MediocreHobbies]

Thanks so much guys! If they get any new stuff there’ll be more videos but if you need help with any of the more elite stuff I might be able to help!

[@MaximF7]

@@MediocreHobbiesthat’s interesting 🤔 For example, how you paint big beastman models such as minotaurs, cygor and go on?

[@wpeaston]

Great vid, looking forward to the orcs&goblin tutorial. Got some AOS snarlfangs for Christmas unexpectedly and want to use for TOW.

[@MediocreHobbies]

Coming soon! Yes they would be great to use!

[@blakethomas9029]

Soon as GW shared that Beastmen Brayherds were going to be a core faction I immediately knew I was going to finally do a Beastmen army

[@MediocreHobbies]

And that sir is a great choice.

[@Benjam311]

Nice video - you know it is effective when the viewer wants to start collecting the army being showcased!

[@MediocreHobbies]

Haha nailed it!

[@gemmell761]

Great work. I've started a beasts army for TOW as the majority of the range just looks excellent

[@MediocreHobbies]

Yeah it’s a really cool army, go for it!

[@canuckchuck8836]

40k!!! Congratulations!!!!

[@MediocreHobbies]

Thank you!! 🙌

[@EngineerJeff]

Building and basing some old Brettonians this week.

[@MediocreHobbies]

Oh awesome! Looks like there’s not long to wait now!

[@Jason-man-in-black]

Great job Andy, a good looking scheme that isn’t to complicated is definitely what you want for an army project like this. Would be interesting to see the extra steps you might need to do on the Minotaurs as they are such a focal point in the army.

[@MediocreHobbies]

All the armies will be getting more tutorials when their boxes are released!

[@beauford8099]

luv me beastmen. hopefully we'll get a nice morghur model soon 😎

[@MediocreHobbies]

Oh that would be epic!

[@adron1261]

Gratz on the 40K

[@MediocreHobbies]

Thank you so much

[@TheOldestNoob]

Good job as always and congratulations on the 40k looking forward to the Minotaur

[@MediocreHobbies]

Thanks man, major goal achieved! And yes, me too!

[@RotGolem]

Nice! I have a old Start Collecting box that is collecting dust in the pile of shame, this will come in handy!

[@MediocreHobbies]

Get them done man, they’re so cool

[@sussy_6998]

Ayo, nice surprise to close out 2023, can't wait for Beastmen/Empire. Also gratz on 40k subscribers.

Great vid and well done on the 40K subs

[@MediocreHobbies]

Thanks so much! Very happy right now!

[@scroggie_mini_painting3983]

Cheers Andy! Nice to see more Old World. Still need to pick a faction, so seeing more minis would be great. Congrats on the 40K pal 👍🏼

[@MediocreHobbies]

Thanks so much man, you’ve helped a lot this year with comments and views!

[@VoltanIgnatio]

So glad to see another Old World video!

[@MediocreHobbies]

So many more coming!

[@VoltanIgnatio]

@@MediocreHobbies love to hear it! Anything for Empire? I know youve done a lot of cities but some classic empire would go down a treat. Will be picking up my 'regiments of renown' project from the heraldry book soon!

[@mighty8357]

I currently painting black metallic slaves to darkness models. I would like to see what you come up with with warriors of chaos :)

[@MediocreHobbies]

I can’t wait to get one painted up for the old world.

[@JohnnyTightIips]

Gratzo on 40k! I absolutely LOVED beastmen, it was such a shame they never got an 8th edition army book, they deserved it. All those farm animal (goats/cows/sheep)/human hybrids being evil gross carnivores was such a cool juxaposition and they were dope.

[@MediocreHobbies]

Yeah they're a lot of fun to play as well! thanks man, really happy with that goal!

[@davidwasilewski]

As the proud owner of a very large and very traditional beastmen army, fully painted (but based for AoS), I’m excited to see them for another system (they’re really not very good in AoS) When I painted mine, I did the base coat and ink but then highlighted everything too, definitely worth doing. More of a dry brush than a highlight really.

[@MediocreHobbies]

Yeah something like that would be good for these guys, there’s just too many to spend a lot of time individually! So cool to hear people looking forward to the old world as much as I am!

[@langobard2848]

Another great video! I am certainly looking forward to Brettonians and Beastmen! On review, I suspect I'll use this scheme to the point of the flesh shade, with possibly some layering of the shield and perhaps the horns? Its a hard call, but this time the final outcome just seemed too "clean" to me. Thanks again for the inspiration!

[@MediocreHobbies]

Totally understand that! always take what you want from tutorials and do your own thing! Thanks for the comment!

[@WorldBleeder]

I've always liked the Beastmen arm look, he turned out great and this may be the new army I pick up since my Vampire Counts and Skaven aren't in the new edition...

[@MediocreHobbies]

Ugh I know, not fun news to read! Beastmen are a great army though!

[@dairewoods2544]

Very excited for the chance to finally get a bretonnia army

[@MediocreHobbies]

Me too, I've had the models before but never painted haha

[@righteousfury5443]

I can't wait for my Army of Bretonnians to come out. I was thinking of a quartered scheme with a Light blue and white across the whole army, the only Knights I'd get creative with are Question Knights, and Grail Knights since I'd keep them each knight being different, it would make sense to me for those Knights.

[@MediocreHobbies]

Hope you liked my scheme i posted for my knight, can't wait to get them either!

[@alwoodsmodellingmayhem]

Nicely done. Subbed.👍👍😉

[@MediocreHobbies]

Aw cheers man, appreciate it!

[@Dustind1211]

Another post now that I am clear headed! Looks great, now I realize the color of the original prime lol Could you show us a nice Solland theme for Empire?

[@MediocreHobbies]

first empire video is up now, will be going into more depth when their army is back!

[@ksbsnowowl3569]

I’ve got a few boxes of these guys to paint up, plus more from other manufacturers. They work great as ibixians in D&D, and I want ravening hordes of them. I’d love to see a series on painting beast men; different painting methods, and different unit types. A Cygor and Ghorgon to cap off the series?

[@MediocreHobbies]

I won't get around to different methods but there will be more tutorials especially when their army is brought out properly again!

[@geertbeekman8680]

i decided that i want to have a beastmen army at the start of the old world have 10 bestigors and 10 ungurs already painted and did got the beastlord, its a nice and quick paintjob

[@MediocreHobbies]

Beastmen are very cool for the old world! You’re off to a great start!

[@10urion]

I just hope that they make minotaurs a little more viable. Great video and the beastmen chief you did a vid on fits perfectly on a 25mm base so it should fir on a 30mm square base just as well. He is a great addition to any Beastmen army

[@MediocreHobbies]

Yes definitely rebasing him! the rules will be out on launch so we'll find out about minotaurs then!

[@madmerlinsart]

Great guide. When it comes to the multitude of infantry models that horde armies have, I always find simpler is better. When I did my Clanrats back along, I used a speedy drybrush method to get them done, then paid a bit more attention to elite units like the Stormvermin. Kinda tempted to have Beastmen as an enemy army to my Bretonnians.

[@MediocreHobbies]

Yeah that’s a great way of doing it, save your time for the elite stuff! Beastmen v Bretonnians…yes!

[@jimboonlyone]

If you want the horns to look more "real" try basilicanum grey on the shadow side.

[@MediocreHobbies]

Cheers pal.

[@jeffholt9437]

Looks like you smashed that 40k two days early - party round Andy's house everyone - bring a mini!!!!! 😊

[@MediocreHobbies]

Hahaha i did indeed, very happy!

[@aspect0]

I'm looking at painting my beastmen next. This paint job is actuallu pretty good! Probably too good, don't think id be able to keep it up for 80+ models!

[@MediocreHobbies]

You might be able to skip some steps for sure, remember that units are all ranked up, so you could do this for front rows and not worry about the middle guys so much?

[@Bodkin_Ye_Pointy]

In the mean time, I had just built a Lizardman army as Warhammer died and AOS sprang into being. Never really got painted though my colour scheme was going to be based on the lizards I have running around the backyard. Australian skinks have a copper skin drifting to grey as you look down the body. It's kind of detailed but would look stunning if I manage to get back into it.

[@MediocreHobbies]

That sounds so cool, you should try some test schemes to see how it will work!

[@ChadSikes0629]

How did you know to base on 25x25? Were they not already on 25x25 pre Old World exploding? With the announcement of basing changes, do you feel pretty confident that they did not get moved up to 30’s?

[@MediocreHobbies]

Honestly now that you said it I’m not sure lol.

[@willchamberlain8329]

What are the chances of us getting a Tomb Kings’ Ushabti painting guide??

[@MediocreHobbies]

Yes there will one, I’m running through the 9 start armies first then will be going back again to more tomb kings models -I have a chariot tutorial up already for them!

[@willchamberlain8329]

@@MediocreHobbies have watched already! It’s great . I’ll wait until TKs come round again before starting my Ushabti! Thanks

[@porcu12345]

You covered up most of the work you did on the skin. Could definitely save a lot of of time across 100+ minis by adjusting/skipping a few steps.

[@MediocreHobbies]

Yeah for sure!

[@colin_painting_adventure]

Loved the pun Gor-geous

[@MediocreHobbies]

Haha thanks

[@zentinelable]

i have an empire army of around 290 models. So far I have painted over 140 and it´s driving me crazy. I want to have everything perfectly painted, even if it´s just standard infantry.

[@MediocreHobbies]

That's a big goal man, take it easy with yourself but you will be so proud at the end! Just keep breaking it down in to small goals to achieve and you'll get through it

[@dodge7729]

Hey Andy I’m really struggling with using contrast paints, I’m liking your method for the Beastmsn here, and thinking of using it to do mine with a few changes, my question is, do you use any medium to thin your contrast or you use straight from the pot ? Hope you get time to answer, Much appreciated and love the channel still one of the best out there..

[@MediocreHobbies]

Nope no medium. Straight from pot or pallet.
