McAngry Minis Dwarven Guard - Table-Ready in No Time! [How I Paint Things]

Tough, determined, and short - Dwarves are as much a staple of sci-fi settings as fantasy, and there are plenty of games that will let you include these doughty warriors on the tabletop! From Stargrave or Five Parsecs From Home, to Grimdark Future or even classic Warhammer 40,000; there's almost invariably a rule set that'll let you field a small crew or a mighty army of Dwarven warriors with laser rifles, pistols and pick axes!
The McAngry Minis STLs can be found here: www.myminifactory.com/users/M... Even without a printer, keep your eyes peeled for news about the physical releases from their range!

THE BASE: Stirland Mud, drybrush first Golgfag Brown then Tyrant Skull, add tufts and coat liberally with Valhallan Blizzard. Make sure to work the snow effect into the bristles of your tufts so it doesn't look like it's floating on them!

Oh thank you for showing us these :-) These are some of the best looking space dwarves I have seen in a while.

[@hughcromwell7845]

Keep up the good work buddy, you continue to make accessible tutorials that have really been helping me re-engage with the hobby.

[@irishtom30]

Fortuitous timing on the Space squat, given the new announcement from Games workshop. It'll be cool to see what new models they roll out and how the army is going to work

[@stevepickering5978]

Lovely figure wonderful paint job the Face looks brilliant the detail is nice and crisp

[@mikehawkins346]

These are the Dwarfs I've been looking for!!!

[@lstormhammer]

Sun's out, lascarbine and Chainsword out! But seriously, another marvelous video and even more miniatures I must needs obtain.

[@ShadowlessFist]

Beautifully done mate!

[@dwadland]

In the immortal words of Capt. Steven Hiller in the movie Independence Day, "I have got to get me one of these!" Fantastic paint job on him there!

[@dwadland]

Oh my. They also do Catachan style heads for them...

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Jungle Dwarves! Jungle Dwarves! :D

[@Marshal976]

Love this totally not a Squat, great paint job too!

[@justarandomname420]

This goes into the Book of Begrudgingly Good. Excellent work.

[@bencooper5546]

Such professional videos, love em keep it up!

[@rickyl3136]

Dwarves are also around fire a lot which can tan your skin just as well as the sun. Look at some pictures of metallurgists and blacksmiths. Also your mini work is amazing.

[@michaelrossel7339]

You did this and 4 weeks later we get this exiting news from GW. How about some British themed Guardsmen next?

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Yes, the uh... the 'Guardsmen of the Fallen Gate' or something along those lines, yeah? 😂

[@loupiscanis9449]

Thank you , Troy . 🐺

[@euansmith3699]

I watch painting videos, and then I look at my minis, and they seem tiny. I think that maybe I need to switch to 54mm minis, or some powerful magnification. This is a great looking mini and a fun paint job. I like how unfussy the mini is.

[@terminator572]

You could always get some sort of tabletop magnifying glass, the big ones that have like an LED on them as well.

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

It could be that I'm printing these guys large and have enormous hands? Stranger things have happened... ;D

[@paulofreire7520]

Cool! 👍🏻

[@robisonwells1]

That's a terrific model and paint job. I love the weathering. I hope the models come out sans printer soon--I don't have any ventilated room in my house for resin printing, but I am such a sucker for space dwarves.

[@TheEccentricMan]

Very nice, I really like this figure and Tutorial.

[@davidgpeterson]

13:28 SPECIAL EFFECTS!!!!

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

I'm so glad someone noticed! 😂

[@03dashk64]

OH color theory! So orange covers better over skin tones because of the magenta. There are three primary colors: yellow, magenta, and cyan. Yellow and orange are much more opaque and vibrant over pink/magenta. It’s also why it helps to base coat yellow models pink!

[@ShadowlessFist]

This is an important piece of info! I was really struggling to get smooth coats of orange on my Astartes and worse still if I had to clean up a darker colour that I got on my orange.

[@timothyyoung2962]

Man, if you ever wanted Squat models for 40K these dudes look pretty damn good as proxy models. Great paint job. Definitely has an Astra Militarum look. Also, now I know what colors to buy to paint my fiance's Boba Fett miniature : D

[@johnkelley9877]

The figure is very interesting and the painting really makes it look good! Thanks for sharing this.

[@JimmyCarmine]

For the Algorithm! But also because I enjoy a bit of Troy

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Everyone loves a little Troy! Phwoar.

[@davidnandrin8825]

Nicely done , striking results !!! And congratulations for reaching 50 k subs Mr Sonic !

[@nickdavis5420]

Well snap I want mandalorian dwarfs

[@JZStudios2]

Oh these are amazing, definitely going to be picked up after Lent for some good Dwarven Guilds for Grimdark Future.

[@iangreen4572]

Yay, a Squat

[@TashiMortier]

These look fantastic :D And what a great paintjob you did! :D Ahh, can the world stop being crazy so I can get enough money together for a 3d printer. xD

[@lordbiscuitthetossable5352]

That rough weathering effect is something I feel like I've really missed on my models... Thanks for the video as usual! Got to say, painting for fun really does bring out a sense of play in your models that really makes the most out of a streamlined process.

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

That's an interesting observation. Not something I've noticed myself, but now you mention it, that's probably true!

[@lordbiscuitthetossable5352]

@@SonicSledgehammerStudio maybe I just haven’t been around the channel long enough, either way your style of painting is refreshing!

[@gkspain1]

Really like dwarves and this one looks very nice, do you think 3d printing will impact on GW

[@donaldkelly9833]

Well this is going to pay off for plenty of people once that new 40k factions drops.

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

With any luck! 😜 Talk about well-timed!

[@tylerdurden108]

you can make a video where you apply all basic colors, and then really brush the entire model with vallejo ivory dry, so you do not have to put edge accents with the brush. ps: with fabric you use this technique constantly, how dähre this technique times also on armored plates and other to apply ... ?

[@maciejbronowski2365]

He looks like Space Fidel Castro xD

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Gonna need a bigger cigar, comrade!

[@furiousv775]

8:35 with the large brush is why i tune in. Update the paints used list you miscreant.

[@carminethewolf]

Is there ever a "How I Paint Things" that isn't special - just asking?

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Not in my lifetime!
