I have just accepted a project to paint this Forgeworld masterpiece belonging to a friend of mine (and local store owner). I will be painting it to a showpiece standard (per the details of my website). A few notes about the project: -My friend has asked that I use TMM, or "True Metal Metallics," and not NMM. With the proper technique, there is certainly a level of realism that NMM just can't achieve, as it tends to look overly cartoonish. -None of the poor victims on Angron's base will be World Eaters. While that moment is a popular one in his history, it wasn't a common occurrence. The owner of this model stated explicitly that he wants a color scheme that carries throughout the figure, while also representing Angron doing what he does on a battlefield to the enemy. That said, I began with the face. This is some initial skin work. I will move on to the finer details as well as his tattoos next. Thank you all for tuning in, and I can't wait to hear your comments!

Welcome back! I've started some work on the armor. The base layers are down, as well as some shading, and now I'm moving into the stain/reclamation/stain/reclamation/finish phase. There won't be much more work done on his backplate, however, as that will be covered by a big furry cape. I wanted to give you guys an update, so I just put these progress pictures up. I am basically showcasing that this true metal finish requires a great deal of patience. The formula (to this point) was: Gehenna's Gold, 3:1 Snakebite Leather: Scorched Brown to shade, 2:3:1 Snakebite Leather: Scorched Brown: Abaddon Black, then subsequent drops of Castellan Green and even a little purple. Once the shades are in place, use some watered down Gehenna's Gold to reclaim the mid-tone, and repeat. A highlight is given with a lighter gold + Mithril Silver, and finally Vallejo Air Chrome. As you can see, there's still a ways to go before I get the contrast and depth I'm looking for. I also updated the head a little bit to finish the shroud, and a basic layout of the tattoos. I will probably keep them subtle, as some people tend to go overboard with these.

I described, briefly, in the post which colors I utilized for the metals. I'm still working on the armor, so that may change.
