Paint Angron Like a Pro!

In this video, I will show you how to paint Angron - the Demon Primarch of the World Eaters! This is literally a monster kit, and I break down how to paint Angron into simple steps that anyone can follow - just take your time and enjoy yourself, and you'll have a great looking model at the end! If you want, you can leave off the wings and the arms for this paint job as well - it might make it easier to reach some of the areas!

This was a great tutorial thank you. My Angron is still in his box unassembled but I will look to this guide when he is ready to paint.

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Cheers

[@adamneary6811]

Just wanted to say thank you for all your guides. I've painted for decades and do commission work, but I regularly come back to your guides as a touchstone. Particularly if I've got a challenging project, I'm not sure how, but your guides often change a challenging or gruelling project into a fun and enjoyable one.

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Thanks Adam!

Lovely work mate - picked mine up today so im excited to get started!

Thanks!

[@xdude228]

I'm personally wondering how long it takes for somebody to choose to leave Angron with no armor on and just rock the raw demon body

[@ThePaintingCoach]

It would be a decent look - although you would still need the arm guards on I think due to the moulding

[@benrichardson5662]

You could do that with the Bloodthirster model too, and the Eightbound with a bit of conversion work. Turns out Khorne doesn't just want skulls, he also wants beach bods.

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Beach bods for the beach god!

Great job . ;)

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Thanks Lee!

[@Mrocax]

This is fantastic. I really want to get this model and follow your tutorial but I’m intimidated by the 35+ different paints that I’ll need.

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Try just the base colours first to get a feel for it

[@alderonsabbet7217]

ok i just followed this guide to paint my Angron and let me say it really is a good guide. My only complaint is that you skipped over several things. one second the tongue { for example } was unpainted and the next thing it was an you never covered the paints used in it. This isn't me complaining just pointing out a few issues to be avoided.

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Glad you enjoyed the guide and you got a great result - and thank you for the feedback! The tongue was screamer pink and a pink horror highlight I think!

[@Mrocax]

I’m curious if you could do a similar effect on the sword with the same frostheart contrast paint you use on the plasma guns in your other WE tutorial, or if that would look out of place?

[@ThePaintingCoach]

You could - would give a totally different effect that would really contrast with the rest of the model so could work! Contrast is so thin if you don't like it, you can just paint over it and start again :)

[@aaronmatthews2564]

Just picked mine up today, be using all your guide apart from skin want it a bit more muted, thanks for this though!

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Hope it helps!

[@Goldenblitzer]

I do enjoy watching you paint all these models, but I think it would be really good if you could turn your voice volume up quite a fair bit, and maybe also reduce the volume of the effects, I've got it really loud on my speakers so I can hear you, and then I get a jumpscare from any effects as they blow out my ear drums, I do appreciate that theyre in there though.

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Thanks - I think it's an issue unique to this video unfortunately - I was experimenting with a new mic, and seem to have it all fixed now!

[@TristanMeier-ce7lj]

Amazing tutorial! I’m just starting mine today after watching your tutorial several times now. Can you tell me? Would you maybe undercoat chaos black and then spray mephiston red over that? Or is the straight Mephiston a better shout? Much appreciated dude 🙏

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Glad you enjoyed it! You can do either really - it doesn't matter too much

[@TristanMeier-ce7lj]

Thanks painting coach! Looking forward to your next video. I’ve also got a Kragnos boxed up for after Angron. Very informative and inspirational sir

[@raywysocki4422]

Question? Did you use the new or old recipe nuln oil? The old stains more but the new has a slightly more gloss finish and I just can’t tell with your paint job. Excellent video by the way.

[@ThePaintingCoach]

I just checked and I used the last of an old pot

[@someguywithanopinion4709]

Aside from mechanicus standard grade, what else did you use for the stone? Great tutorial btw!

@@ThePaintingCoach Thank you!

[@wuestsiderx1843]

I just got into painting miniatures. But where would I be able to find and purchase large scale (6 inch) models to paint?

[@ThePaintingCoach]

You'd be looking at people like Kimera/pegaso, Black Crow etc - maybe even 3D printing - also will depend where in the world you are

[@lewismcintyre9483]

What red spray did you use for Angron and the berserker?

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Mephiston Red from Citadel

[@Thornspyre81]

As someone who absolutely loves and buys all the big GW sculpts, $140 US seems steep for Angron's size. Anyway, fantastic job!!

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Cheers

[@redthrawn]

For those of us that watch your awesome painting videos late at night tired, I gotta say it's pretty jarring to throw in random loud dinging noises.

Sorry Brad! It was a long one, and I was trying to make a joke out of me falling over my words!

[@canton7180]

awesome job

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Cheers

[@Cf-me5lw]

Did you prime angron black then red over or just mephiston red with nothing underneath?

[@ThePaintingCoach]

I can't remember 🤦🏼‍♂️ I think it was red over black - I find you get a nicer colour that isn't as flat that way

[@Cf-me5lw]

@@ThePaintingCoach yea I tried priming a bezerker just mephiston red and was pretty underwhelmed with how it looked so I was wondering, thanks for the quick reply Have you done a video on painting eightbound? Plan on following your guides for my army as they look awesome but noticed there wasn't an eightbound one

[@ThePaintingCoach]

I haven't done 8 bound - not sure I will get round to them either - will have to see what the future holds 👍🏻 Most of the colour combos etc will carry over from angron and berserkers though

[@TheDeadPoolfan]

Did you prime with memphistom red spray then do a base coat of memphiston red again, or is it just the primer? I ask because your red looks super smooth

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Just spray - I did put the mephiston red over a black prime though as this gives it a bit more vibrancy

[@TheDeadPoolfan]

@@ThePaintingCoach awesome thanks for responding. You're always super herlpful

[@ThePaintingCoach]

No problem 👍🏻

Finally built my own angron, gonna use this tutorial to paint it up

[@blakemorgan8363]

what brand of drybrush do you use?

[@ThePaintingCoach]

I genrally use some cheap make up brushes

[@viktorberg1837]

Are the paints you used all base or are some contrast/air/shade and so on?

[@ThePaintingCoach]

A mix of the lot in all honesty!

[@viktorberg1837]

​@@ThePaintingCoachalso are all of these paints citadel except for the one paint

[@ThePaintingCoach]

The Dark Aluminium and Chrome are both Vallejo, and the white is Pro Acryl - the rest are citadel. The citadel equivalents of those paints will work fine however

Would love to paint this beast but just can't justify the price tag.

[@toxendon]

I dont understand how you keep such a small amount of paint on your brush without it drying after 2 seconds, or how you avoid the brush from splitting etc... That is the number 1 problem stopping me from getting better at painting details, highlights, small scars etc

[@ThePaintingCoach]

It helps to have a brush with a decent belly - that will hold paint and also make sure it is thinned a little. I paint fairly fast which also helps, although I guess that is an experience thing. I also use a wet palette which helps keep moisture in the paint

[@toxendon]

@@ThePaintingCoach Thank you! I will try to make a wet palette - can I ask what the brush you use for this is called?
