Your intro is why I watch your stuff, do-able , something to be proud of, accessible for the common man/woman/painter. Please keep this up. Thousand sons looked like a nightmare, your guide made it easy……….ish! No seriously, it made it very achievable
Your intro put into words something that I've struggled to communicate in the past. Seeing channels create these works of art is cool and their skill is undeniable, but there is something much more captivating about a video that I can resonate with on a "achievability" level.
Another awesome video, thanks Andy.. This is why I'm a patron. I'm sitting here building my Mortarch and was pleasantly surprised when your new video popped up and it was Mortarch. I've watched the other tutorials this week and their all very good, but your right their all way to complicated. You did a great job of painting this model with paints I have. Thank you very much.. very inspiring...
The accessibility of this paint job is great, but what I love personally is the narrative that you created with this scheme. Especially how you did that crown. It makes Ushoran seem so much sadder that he's so lost that he's willing to mutilate himself to maintain his own delusion. Very cool!
The AoS range the last 2-3 years has been incredible, and I really appreciate content like yours that makes it look like something I would like to paint... And you're right, most other content makes these minis too intimidating, yours makes them manageable. And the final result is wonderful!
I found your channel while I was trying to find a good tutorial on painting Mephiston. I had seen several videos and while they looked amazing they all felt unattainable for me personally. I followed your guide and was very happy with result. I now watch your videos regularly, regardless if I have or even plan on getting that particular model just so I can learn and become a better painter. So thank you for your videos and keeping it simple for us common folk
I love watching your videos just to learn tips and tricks for painting quickly even if it's a model I have no intention of ever purchasing. I have a huge backlog of grey minis that need paint and your work inspires me to try to chip away at it. Keep up the great work!
I've been waiting for this video since GW showed off the model. Honestly before I found your channel I would have been too intimidated to even buy this amazing model but the painting style you show is not only easy to follow but gives a result that looks amazing on the tabletop. Cheers Andy.
I can't wait to receive mine next week. That's when it says I will receive it anyway. Not my preferred skin tone for FEC (mine's a more greyish-blue skin), but wonderful look all the same. Been watching you for a while. Much love from Australia.
Your style of painting has become myvgo to. I have years worth of plastic that has been intimidating me with fear of messing them up. Some how wasting them. I now have 2 armies painted up. Thanks a ton for everything!
The nice thing about your painting style is that it's not only just at a good table top standard, but it's also at a stage where if you want to come back later and do more with the paint job, you can.
Hey just wanted to say that your vid on Ushoran has inspired me to purchase him and paint him as I really like the model just hope that I can paint good enough for my very noob painting skills
Feel relieved to see this video! I bought the model and as soon as I looked at it I thought how the hell am I going to paint this 😂 thank you for putting my mind at rest!
Thank you for uploading this video man, I will use this guide for my model which has sat on the shelf since I bought at launch as I was too worried about messing it up
I found that purple is a really good gold shade too. I shade all my gold with Druchii Violet. The model looks great. The Old Ushoran Lore is really sad. He was an good king who only fed on criminals and rival forces who attacked him. His kingdom ended up wired out by orcs and his kin were abandoned by the other vampire bloodlines and degenerated into Strigoi ghouls.
For terrain I actually like Gravelord Grey and then a drybrush. Works smoother than Basilicanum Grey. For smaller parts or shading metal I actually still prefers Basilicanum Grey.
@@MediocreHobbiesit‘s army painter speed paint I generally prefer contrast paints But in this case it works‘s just better over the large surfaces of terrain in my opinion.
Awesome job as always. I'll take a few things from this video for my model, when I get him, but I have a vastly different method to skin than you, but most of the accent details like the cape, furs and metallics I can easily transfer over. I've only just started my army box, done the Varghulf and 10 Cryptguard so far. I want to start the knights but can't decide how to do the mounts.
He is a stunning mini, and once again you did a great job of showcasing an accessible paint scheme. I’ve been thinking he might make a cool base for a demon prince having built one now what do you think Andy would he be very difficult to convert?
Thank you for this! Makes me not so scared to paint him! I did have an opinion question. I have a tons of red armies. If I wanted to paint my fec force like this yet switch out the red for green…what greens would you suggest?
"Painting for the masses"? I think you should go the full hog and paint miniatures with Dulux (and using a roller)!!!!! 😊 On a more serious note (!), a great job. I used to have a serious dislike of the finish given by Contrast paints. However, your videos and the skin in this video in particular are starting to win me over......
Hehahaha I'll keep that idea for when I need a clickbaity video :D :D Thanks man, appreciate that! Once you figure out how to use contrasts(not just the way they were intended) you can get great results

Happy to hear that pal. That’s what my channel is all about.

Yeah I see them as entertainment rather than educational videos, great to watch, but I don’t always learn from them 😄 glad you got something from mine
This miniature is simply one of the most awesome miniatures ever saw. Horrific! I'm just thinking in buying it only for having in my showcase.
Go for it. You won’t be disappointed.

Anytime pal. Glad they helped.

Cheers pal. If you read his story it is a very sad one.
The AoS range the last 2-3 years has been incredible, and I really appreciate content like yours that makes it look like something I would like to paint... And you're right, most other content makes these minis too intimidating, yours makes them manageable. And the final result is wonderful!
Glad people agree Pal. Means a lot.
Good work, it is a fantastic model and your guide does it justice.
Thanks pal.
I was conflicted about getting this miniature but your video convinced me to get him and the other Flesh Eater Court minis. Thank you!
Glad I helped pal.

So happy to hear that pal. And I’m glad your got your model painted. And I’m one of those common folk lol.

Thank you for that. Glad the videos help.
This is very impressive
Very kind.
Stunning results Andy! I’m tempted to pick this model up as a painting project at some point. Handy tips as always man
It’s a good one for that. All the centre piece models from AOS are.
Stunning job Andy I'm in awe of this job
Cheers pal. I was only pulling your leg on stream the other day. No need for you to leave.
I've been waiting for this video since GW showed off the model. Honestly before I found your channel I would have been too intimidated to even buy this amazing model but the painting style you show is not only easy to follow but gives a result that looks amazing on the tabletop. Cheers Andy.
That’s a very kind message pal. Thank you. And I’m glad my channel is doing what it’s supposed to.
I love your painting!
I am cheering from Japan!
Thank you so much!
That's an impressive mini. Good pointers, thanks!!!
It’s a great model.

Cheers pal. Appreciate the long distance support.
Great job Andy, looks excellent.
Cheers pal.
Your style of painting has become myvgo to. I have years worth of plastic that has been intimidating me with fear of messing them up. Some how wasting them. I now have 2 armies painted up. Thanks a ton for everything!
That’s awesome to read pal. Two armies is nothing to be scoffed at. You should be proud.
@@MediocreHobbies ty ty!
The nice thing about your painting style is that it's not only just at a good table top standard, but it's also at a stage where if you want to come back later and do more with the paint job, you can.
That’s what I’m going for so I’m glad it comes across.
Hey just wanted to say that your vid on Ushoran has inspired me to purchase him and paint him as I really like the model just hope that I can paint good enough for my very noob painting skills
I’m sure you will nail it pal. Thanks.
The furs on the cloak over the shoulders is called a Mantle.
Cracking job!
Ah cheers pal.
Excellent paintjob! Very grimdark feel from him
As he should be.
You know after watching that intro I have a lot more confidence to paint my FreeGuild Griffon when it arrives. Also great work has always!
You should pal. I have a video on that as well. In case you missed it.
@@MediocreHobbies and I’ll be using it has reference.
Seriously scary. nice work and tips
Cheers pal.
Stellar and achievable, that's the Mediocre guarantee!
Dam straight it is.
That seriously looks amazing, looks perfect as the horrifying character he is!
Thanks pal. Glad you liked it.
This is absolutelly stunning. Finally an Ushoran paint scheme with almost every colour I own.
Thanks so much, glad you like it!
Amazing paint job as usual 🔥🔥🔥
Appreciate that, thank you!
Feel relieved to see this video! I bought the model and as soon as I looked at it I thought how the hell am I going to paint this 😂 thank you for putting my mind at rest!
Awesome! Exactly my plan with the video, glad you liked it!
Love this scheme just used it for my Ushoran model on my channel 🤌🏻
Ah a fine member of the nobility!
Dam straight.
Thank you for uploading this video man, I will use this guide for my model which has sat on the shelf since I bought at launch as I was too worried about messing it up
It's only paint, it would be worse to leave it grey plastic that anything you do to it :D I promise this guy is easier than he looks
Thanks man, this video has given me the oomph to do him, I'm building him as we speak
@@23danbloom Awesome. let me know if you have any issues and enjoy him!
Great video.Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
I found that purple is a really good gold shade too. I shade all my gold with Druchii Violet. The model looks great. The Old Ushoran Lore is really sad. He was an good king who only fed on criminals and rival forces who attacked him. His kingdom ended up wired out by orcs and his kin were abandoned by the other vampire bloodlines and degenerated into Strigoi ghouls.
Ye it is a sad or for sure.
Awesome!
Cheers.
I def want a skin tutorial for the basic infantry ❤
Yes sir.
For terrain I actually like Gravelord Grey and then a drybrush. Works smoother than Basilicanum Grey. For smaller parts or shading metal I actually still prefers Basilicanum Grey.
Where is grave lord grey from?

That’s cool man. A Greta way to use my videos is to pick and chose what parts you like.
@@MediocreHobbies that's what I'm hoping to do as I create more painting tutorials.
Yes! ❤
Glad your happy pal.
He is a stunning mini, and once again you did a great job of showcasing an accessible paint scheme. I’ve been thinking he might make a cool base for a demon prince having built one now what do you think Andy would he be very difficult to convert?
Ammm he would be a little awkward to change much. But as a straight step on he could work.
Thank you for this! Makes me not so scared to paint him! I did have an opinion question. I have a tons of red armies. If I wanted to paint my fec force like this yet switch out the red for green…what greens would you suggest?
Maybe kroak green for skin shade, and karandras green, and striking scorp green for wings/cloak? Or need to add a darker contrast for one
But ripper is another good one for skin tone if you want to go green.
@@MediocreHobbies I’ll check that out! You think the other two I suggested for cloaks/wings are good choices in your opinion?
How did you do his Hair and his Head Horns? Didnt see it
Love the paint job dude but why no varnish for protection and the shine of the cape is a thorn in my eye x)
I don’t bother with varnish! You could use a Matt one if the shine bothers you on your model!
nice
Cheers.
Ok, so which one paint did you use? Guilliman Flesh or Darkoath Flesh?
Darkoath!
@@MediocreHobbies Thank you!
@@MediocreHobbies maybe change it in the description? Quite confusing :D
Just one Question, in the Video you used "Darkoath Flesh" but you write in the Description "Guilliman FLesh" which one did you use? :D
Darkoath Flesh!
"Painting for the masses"? I think you should go the full hog and paint miniatures with Dulux (and using a roller)!!!!! 😊

Dude. Gotta stop doing this. Paint job is on point. ‘This’ is what Ushoran should look like. Amazing
Thanks man
Never cure your ADHD !!!
Never stops …..
Hahahahhaa thanks……. I guesss.
