Guiltysparc Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Hello friends! Given the length of time this model will take, I wanted to create a WIP thread for him rather than wait until he was done to post up in my showcase thread. I'm really excited to get work on this guy. I watched a bunch of Angron youtubes and decided on this level of subassembly. Really went back and forth on the face choice, ended up going classic roar. I decided to start with the base as i'm still noodling around exactly how i want to do the skin. Some extras i threw on here are a mk3 helmet from my 30k world eaters army, a lieutenants tilting shield, black legion helmet, and some ruddy mud as a call back to this Lord of Red Sands title. The plan of attack will be to finish the base, then his torso, then just tackling the arms and wings and finally the last armor bits. Pretty much paint and glue in the order that the build instruction manual has you build the model.

Guiltysparc Posted November 28, 2023 Author Share Posted November 28, 2023 Oh yes, steal away! Iron sharpens iron after all. The lieutenant's head is in the pile of skulls on the bottom left of the base, just can't see it from this angle.

Guiltysparc Posted December 1, 2023 Author Share Posted December 1, 2023 Calling the base done. As a side note, the white balance on my phone camera made everything way flatter than it actually is. I really struggle to take decent pics with the S22, i don't get it, lol, womp womp MithrilForge, Firedrake Cordova, Rusted Boltgun and 3 others 5 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MithrilForge Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Well you’ve got a good Amount of “base” work done …joke!! Looks great !, and I see you’ve gone with a red skintone , I see the lieutenants helmet now that we’ve got better base shots the way you’re going it’ll be done before Christmas let alone early in the new year!! cheers, M Firedrake Cordova 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guiltysparc Posted December 3, 2023 Author Share Posted December 3, 2023 (edited) Spent some time blacking in the bits that are going to be either black or metallic. Also did a little pink on the head of the tail, which will match the spiny bits of the wings. My initial plan was to dry brush all of the skin tone except the face, I've had good results with dry brushing flesh on large models, but after seeing how little skin there actually is, I might layer instead. That'll be a bit of a game time decision I think.

MithrilForge Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Nice Clean work . layering instead of drybrushing looks to be the better option. cheers,M Firedrake Cordova 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guiltysparc Posted December 4, 2023 Author Share Posted December 4, 2023 (edited) Today I tackled the armor, and got through most of it. For the armor, I'm doing a weather bronze based on this great tutorial. Balthazar gold over black,: + Runelord Brass +Sepia wash +Sycorax Bronze Really happy with the results so far, next step will be the canoptek alloy fine highlights and some verdigris pools in the recesses.

MithrilForge Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Very Nice, I like the weathered Gold look of the Armour I never cared for Balthazar Gold though (perhaps I just got unlucky and always got average pots) I must admit That Gold over Black changes it quite well!

Cheers, M Ya man, I don't really ever use Balthazar Gold, in fact I totally forgot i had it and almost bought a pot for this project, lol. The way this stippling has turned out, i'll be using it more in the future for sure. I'm thinking maybe vehicle panels, things like that.

Guiltysparc Posted December 6, 2023 Author Share Posted December 6, 2023 Today was a bit of a cluster time-wise, but I scratched out about 45 minutes doing the canoptek alloy layer on about half the armor pieces. Only thing left is a little kiss of verdigris and the bronze bits will be finished.

Guiltysparc Posted December 6, 2023 Author Share Posted December 6, 2023 (edited) Finished up the canoptek alloy step on the rest of the armor, plus started in in the verdigris. I went super light on the application of that, thinking if I put "not quite enough" on each panel, then the armor overall would be just the right amount. I plan on going heavy with it on the world eaters symbols, which should help those stand out a bit from the rest of the bronze tones. Final highlight on the rest of the armor Verdigris added to the chest piece Edited December 6, 2023 by Guiltysparc Urauloth, Firedrake Cordova, madlibrarian and 7 others 7 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firedrake Cordova Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 The armour looks great. I'm not normally a fan of verdigris on bronze/brass parts, but that's very subtle and tasteful Rusted Boltgun, MithrilForge and Guiltysparc 2 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guiltysparc Posted December 7, 2023 Author Share Posted December 7, 2023 Finished up the verdigris on the rest of the armor, quite enjoyed this process! The world eaters symbols are next up.

Guiltysparc Posted December 7, 2023 Author Share Posted December 7, 2023 (edited) Legion icons done, stoked. Did a combo of way thinned Akhelian Green glazing/washing and spots of nihiloc oxide.

MithrilForge Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Looking Fantastic, yes, I agree less is more when it comes to Oxidizing Angron ! This is coming along at a cracking pace Well done indeed Cheers, M Firedrake Cordova 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firedrake Cordova Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Very nice - the contrast between the icon and the surround is excellent MithrilForge 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guiltysparc Posted December 8, 2023 Author Share Posted December 8, 2023 I'm curious as to your guys' thoughts. The video i used for the brass paints the teeth on the shoulder icon black, though leaves the teeth on the smaller icons brass. I'm not sure what to do about that. Black teeth would add some visual interest to the shoulder pad, but it looks pretty gd good right now with them brass. Not sure what to do there...

Rusted Boltgun Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 I prefer your version to that in the screen capture, I think the brass teeth suit the sculpt and are consistent with the other icon you posted and is striking enough. Of course, that's just my thoughts and I'm sure I don't have your experience. I must say that following this is making me want to attempt Angron! Thanks for sharing.
