He looks spectacular!! That filigree looks like it could cause some hobby based ptsd lol, that technique on the sword was great too I hope the lion is announced so we can see him join his brother both loyal and traitor im plastic I'm almost excited to see how you'd paint him if he is announced Great video as always Andy :)
I haven’t painted anything as of yet, new to 40k and have been learning the lore. After watching this I can’t wait to start painting some custodies! Thank you!
Great video, thanks for sharing how you would tackle Guilliman. I also like Caledor Sky as my preferred shade of blue for ultramarines. Nice job on showing an easy way to paint flames too.
Im halfway through this process now, just wanted to thank you for the amazing guidance! Id never have dared Guilliman before seeing this. Ive just finished the filigree and about to do the scary part of flooding all the work with flesh shade. I love the macragge blue contrast so I'm in two minds about the lighter blue, but I bought the paint so might as well go for it. The how to paint faces vid really helped too.
Nice. I just undercoated the big G, keen to get going on this. I think i'm just gonna go darker blue than Caledor sky. In any case, great tutorial thanks man!
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment, very happy to hear it will help you out! Yeah some people definitely don't go for Caledor Sky but it's an easy switch out for whatever tone you prefer! Let me know how it goes!
Thanks so much! I always try to avoid airbrushes in my tutorials because not everyone can access them, or wants to use them! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Very cool mate...yeah 2 and a half hours for the gold sounds about right...took me around that time as well. Wish I had this tutorial back when I did mine haha. Great job 👍
Oh wow, that was very helpful. I've just received Guilliman through the Imperium subscription and I've been trying to think how best to paint him. This video has helped me greatly and Caledor Sky was one of the first paints I brought when the new range came out but I've hardly used it, pleased to report it's still good, though a little lumpy, but I really like how it helps the model stand out from all the other blue marines in the army. Will certainly consider using it on my own, though I am thinking of getting all that gold and silver out the way first then picking out the blue armour after.
Using enamel blue over a gold base coat then using a cotton swab ober the gold on the armor without pressing hard would have saved so much time doing each little bit of gold on his armor
im in awe! after watching this tutorial I want to challenge myself and try to paint this mode tool. Thank you so very much Andy for taking time so show us how you painted this beautiful model
That’s exactly why I do these videos-to show people they can paint anything, even the difficult looking ones they’ve been putting off in case they mess them up! Let me know if you have any other questions when you get him!
I am so happy you mentioned the return of the Lion. Now that is offcial that he has returned could you please (asking on bended knee) would you make a step by step color by color in depth start to finish tutorial on how you would paint this model. I hope im not asking too much, but I love your channel and watching you paint. I have learned so much from watching your tutorials. It would be so beneficial to Dark Angel Fanatics and those who are chomping at the bit to get this model and paint it for their own army. Thanks again for your videos and tutorials. Cheers Mate!
The Lion will 100% be making his grand entrance onto the channel as soon as I get my hands on him, don’t worry!! I am DYING to paint him, he is absolutely stunning, not just as a gaming piece but a beautiful model to display as well! And yes I will be making it as simple as possible as well! Thank you also so much for your kind words, I really appreciate you taking the time to comment and I’m so glad to be able to help. More recent models are becoming more and more complicated looking so it’s good to remind people they can achieve great results in a simple way! Thanks again!
Guilliman is currently buried in my pile of shame. I can't see myself getting to him anytime soon, either. When I do, I'll check back on this video. I'm not sure I'm sold on the caledor sky, it might be a little too light of a blue for my tastes. I'll try it on something small, like some intercessors, first and go from there. Model looks great 👍
Love it, thank you. Also I’m super glad you are not one of those many youtubers currently doing content with those Army Painter Speedpaints 2.0 - thanks for keeping up the quality standard
@@MediocreHobbies I'm just oversaturated with all the youtubers doing it right now and I just have no trust (anymore) in AP paints. So I'm glad you are out there using paints I have :)
I picked up a copy of this figure with the Imperium Magazine, and I was thinking of going the other option and base coating the whole armour in gold and then picking out the recessed blue bits afterwards, It's a technique I have used on Thousand Sons marines with great success so hopefully it should also work here and may even save some time?
@@MediocreHobbies figuring out the orientation of of the pieces in steps 1 and 2 took me about as long as it takes me to assemble an Intercessor 😅 I eventually figured it out but I was having a really hard time seeing how they fit for a while
I don't! I use the gold straight from the pot and the white that i used here is slightly more watery than GW paint. Please don't ever feel like your questions are stupid, its the best way to learn! I do usually mention if I've mixed paint with water, sometimes I use a wet palette(not for metallics!) but i wouldn't add water unless I mention it in the video. If you have any other questions I'm happy to help!
I have a video on painting gargant skin! It’s pretty old so it would be easier to just search for it on my channel, type in Warhammer skin and you should get it! It’s super easy the way I do it but I can definitely understanding it being intimidating to try tackle!
Did you magnetize the head and helmet? Or how did you go about making them swappable? That fire effect for the sword looks really good and simple. I will have to give it a try.
Two different rattle/spray cans are used-one full solid coat of black, and a lighter coat of grey seer sprayed from above to add light/dark areas. The lighter coating of grey seer adds a small amount of grit(too small for the eye to see) from to give the contrast paint a better surface to cling too. Contrast paints don’t work well on black primers, the colours won’t show up well. Here’s a short showing the process, if you have any other questions please let me know! th-cam.com/video/51Hx1uTmtSw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=pqC1tehDhkaxQOwq
Your ironbreaker kinda ruined the cool contrast of it all. The colors are very in line w warhammer colors and art shame u made it look realistic but still cool
After just watching a few of your videos this has become my favourite painting Chanel, thank you
That’s some very very high praise pal. Thank you so much.
Absolutely love how the blue looks on this model. Definitely going to try this blue out myself now 👍🏻
Awesome pal. Glad you liked it.
He looks spectacular!! That filigree looks like it could cause some hobby based ptsd lol, that technique on the sword was great too I hope the lion is announced so we can see him join his brother both loyal and traitor im plastic I'm almost excited to see how you'd paint him if he is announced
Great video as always Andy :)
Cheers pal. And now he has been announced I cannot wait to get him painted up and stood next to his brother.
What I'm wondering is The Lion model going to be Forge World or GW?
I haven’t painted anything as of yet, new to 40k and have been learning the lore. After watching this I can’t wait to start painting some custodies! Thank you!
That so Great pal. Glad you’re excited. And I’m glad the videos helped.
Great video, thanks for sharing how you would tackle Guilliman. I also like Caledor Sky as my preferred shade of blue for ultramarines. Nice job on showing an easy way to paint flames too.
Cheers pal glad you liked it.
It will happen tonight! FOR THE LION!
After that, "Quit Lion around" video they better. I'm not gonna lie, I would laugh my ass off if they released a different primarch, though.
Dam rite.
@Mediocre Hobbies So, can we assume you're working on your Lion right now.
Im halfway through this process now, just wanted to thank you for the amazing guidance! Id never have dared Guilliman before seeing this. Ive just finished the filigree and about to do the scary part of flooding all the work with flesh shade.

That’s so nice to read pal. Glad your enjoying the results.

He looks pretty awesome. I'm the same. Have had the model all built but unpainted since it was released. Maybe I should go ahead and paint him up.
I think you should pal. It’s a great model.
damn the first step of just painting an contrast above a grey primer enlightened me, thank you👍
and the final result is absolutely nice👍👍
Anytime pal.
Cheers.
Andy. You have revolutionised painting for me sir , my thanks
Far to kind pal.
Awesome paint job! I’ve been wanting to tackle this piece, but didn’t want to plaint him with an airbrush. Great ideas for this. Thanks!
Thanks so much! I always try to avoid airbrushes in my tutorials because not everyone can access them, or wants to use them! Glad you enjoyed the video!
I have pots of the old chestnut ink and flesh wash and it works just like the Reikland Fleshshade
Emmmmmm kind of. But the inks are very shiny. So I’ve moved away from them a lot.
damn i just got back from picking up some UM blue hoping to paint my guilliman model and now this pops up on my feed. perfect timing
Hahaha planned it just for you pal.
Another great job mate, I am definitely rewatching your video to paint my new ridgehauler, I find your methods achievable 🤙🏻
That’s so nice to read pal. Thank you.
Very cool mate...yeah 2 and a half hours for the gold sounds about right...took me around that time as well. Wish I had this tutorial back when I did mine haha. Great job 👍

I think it looks great.

Absolutly awesome !
Thanks,and good continuation !!!
Thanks pal. Glad you liked it.
Either this is planned or a fantastic coincidence because my imperium delivery just arrived and issue 79 and 80 contain Guilliman.
Great timing
The levels of my genius knows no bounds…….. or it was a complete accident. You will never know lol
Very nice work! Definitely see this as an achievable goal for my model.
That’s awesome to hear 🙌
Just recently got this model and this is going to help massively 👍
Glad to hear pal.
Using enamel blue over a gold base coat then using a cotton swab ober the gold on the armor without pressing hard would have saved so much time doing each little bit of gold on his armor
But enamel paints are awful to work with ive never enjoyed them.

thanks for the guide, pushing me to finish my unpainted Guilliman which has been on my table for sometime
It is the time to finish primarichs.
@@MediocreHobbies i know right before lion is released
@@tien65 How'd it go?
Thanks so much for thinking of conman painter 🙏
Always man, tons of channels making it super complicated out there, we keep it achievable here!

I thought the model looked great after just the reikland fleshshade step, but that caldor sky is really something special
Ye same. You would be tempted to just leave it lol
What a nice Model. So buitufull. I hope i can Paint it so.
I’m
Sure you can pal.
Working on Guilliman right now, the Retributor Armor gold trim took me approx. 5 hours. Looks amazing though
It’s a slow grind alright! But it’s worth it for the big man himself!
Okay now I have to get a guilliman
Yes. Join us...
@@MediocreHobbies there’s only 2 in stock in the city I’m currently in as far as I know… I better get moving
Guilliman is currently buried in my pile of shame. I can't see myself getting to him anytime soon, either. When I do, I'll check back on this video.

Sounds great pal. And I get the blue isn’t for everybody.
well I dont own a single miniature I just like the lore but great job man
Aw cheers for the watching the video anyway man, the lore is awesome, and it’s a whole hobby in itself learning about it all!
Love it, thank you. Also I’m super glad you are not one of those many youtubers currently doing content with those Army Painter Speedpaints 2.0 - thanks for keeping up the quality standard
Thanks pal. What have you got against the new speed paints? I hope yo do something with them at some point. Is it just a saturation of content.
@@MediocreHobbies I'm just oversaturated with all the youtubers doing it right now and I just have no trust (anymore) in AP paints. So I'm glad you are out there using paints I have :)
Great vid. I just start this model and I'm sure I use some advice from you.
Thanks pal. Glad it could help.
Theoretical: Don’t lick the brush.
Practical: Like the brush.
Always

Both ways of painting it will 100% work pal.
Looking amazing! Hope we get to see some battle reports soon of some your recent work!😊
Thanks so much man! Yes battle reports will be back again soon, especially with the new edition, already have plans for that!
Great Job!
Cheers pal loved how he turned out.
amazing work
To kind.
Thank you very much😊😊😊
No problem 😊
That looks great and you did that so fast.
Thanks so much! The gold part didn’t feel fast at the time 😂
@@MediocreHobbies The trim on Titanicus titans almost made me quit the game.
Yeah, I’m going to have to go back and redo. My first one, and it sucks.
Sorry to hear pal. It will be worth it. Such a great model.
I don't nor never will I play Ultramarines but I am going to get this model to make a Gilligan statue. What colors would you recommend for that?
What kind of statue do you mean? Like a bronze/stone one?
@@MediocreHobbies Stone
Guilliman is… holy crap first 2 steps and I’m already confused
Hahahaha what’s confusing you?
@@MediocreHobbies figuring out the orientation of of the pieces in steps 1 and 2 took me about as long as it takes me to assemble an Intercessor 😅
I eventually figured it out but I was having a really hard time seeing how they fit for a while
I still want it too be dorn
I have a video on Rogal Dorn if that helps!
Sorry for stupid question as I'm new to the hobby but did you water down any of your paints? More specifically the gold and white? Cheers
I don't! I use the gold straight from the pot and the white that i used here is slightly more watery than GW paint. Please don't ever feel like your questions are stupid, its the best way to learn! I do usually mention if I've mixed paint with water, sometimes I use a wet palette(not for metallics!) but i wouldn't add water unless I mention it in the video.

@@MediocreHobbies cheers!
Could you paint something like a giant/gargant. All that skin could be a challenge to look good
I have a video on painting gargant skin! It’s pretty old so it would be easier to just search for it on my channel, type in Warhammer skin and you should get it! It’s super easy the way I do it but I can definitely understanding it being intimidating to try tackle!
Great video, could the model be done from a metallic base and then use paint like tamiya clear to block the armour in?
Thanks man, yes of course, anyway you prefer painting!
Did you magnetize the head and helmet? Or how did you go about making them swappable? That fire effect for the sword looks really good and simple. I will have to give it a try.
Nope it just slots in.
May I ask what brush you are using for the Ultramarines Blue?
Just normal gamesworkshop later brushes
was wondering what green did you use on the head?
Oh god emmm warboss maybe.
have you painted uriel ventris? would it be similar
Yep same guide for him. And no I having painted him yet but soon I think. I shall be painting him on stream.
How do you attach it to a temporary base like that?
Just a touch of super glue.
Would it be easier to airbrush the macragge blue
Possibly yes!
Why undercoat with UM contrast and redo all the blue with caledor sky?
I don’t redo it all, it’s just layering up a brighter colour on a base colour!
Can you just spray grey over it instead of black then grey
Two different rattle/spray cans are used-one full solid coat of black, and a lighter coat of grey seer sprayed from above to add light/dark areas. The lighter coating of grey seer adds a small amount of grit(too small for the eye to see) from to give the contrast paint a better surface to cling too. Contrast paints don’t work well on black primers, the colours won’t show up well.
Here’s a short showing the process, if you have any other questions please let me know!
th-cam.com/video/51Hx1uTmtSw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=pqC1tehDhkaxQOwq
Would White Scar spray work instead of Grey Seer since I dont have it?
It will work, it will just give you a brighter starting point!
@@MediocreHobbies Thank you very much for reply and also for tutorial!
U r good aren't u
Can't get enough
Aw thanks
is it me is or gulliman more flashy than the Lion lol
He is a little bit for sure.
That gold trim…
There's so much...
I like that blue a lot. I think ill use for my 1k sons
That would look ace.
Can i buy it😅
HahahHa sorry pal.
people always paint him blue? thats a bit limiting
It’s a very well known character so people usually paint him as described in lore, you can paint yours however you like though!
Your ironbreaker kinda ruined the cool contrast of it all. The colors are very in line w warhammer colors and art shame u made it look realistic but still cool
Always take what you like from tutorials and swop in other stuff for parts you don’t like!
very stupid. why using contrast if you after paint anothet blue
I would answer your question if you weren’t so rude. But how you started your comment why would I answer you.?
