#lioneljonson #tabletopgaming #darkangels
Welcome to another Warhammer Community approved paint job made into a tutorial! When GW sent me Lion El’Jonson and his retinue I didn’t waste any time painting this guy up in his regal black armour! Primarchs might seem daunting but they’re really just large characters that require an extra bit of time, not talent to look good! My channel has always been about using simple tips, no matter what the model is, and this is a great example! This isn’t the first primarch(or the last) I’ve painted on the channel so make sure you check out the others too!

The video is going to be a helpful resource for my lion project, i will try to to add the green edging on the raised parts of the armour and cloth, and going to do one of the trims in the angel shoulder in red over gold to add more colour and callback to old dark angels

@curtismanwaring2609 Год назад

Really nice job! Love how you mentioned its a good affective way to paint such a great model without feeling intimidated by the amazing yet super challenging other painting tutorials out there. Defo giving this method a try on my Lion! Thanks for the vid!!

Anytime pal. Glad you liked the results and the methods.

@miniaturemarine9236 Год назад

I love both green and black schemes for him, I'm tempted to paint him a dark green using the previous tutorials to march the art on the book. I haven't fully decided.

@MediocreHobbies Год назад

That’s what I wanted to do but I figured most people would do the black so I caved. Should have stuck to my guns.

Wicked paint job mate. It’s just so frustrating that GW can’t get their supply chain sorted out, so people can actually get the models in hand.

Ye I seen how quick he sold out kind of a pain just Remember it’s a different allotment of stock for shops. So he will be on shelves in your local store next weekend so maybe you can grab one there.

@MediocreHobbies Год назад

That’s great the video helped change your mind! Remember it’s just a large character model. Put aside a little bit extra time, and it’s the same skills you would use for painting any other model! If you have any other questions let me know and best of luck, you got this!

I can for some add it to the schedule soon pal. Thanks for the kind words.

@madmerlinsart Год назад

Not sure on the armour, but the sword is one of the many weapons they Dark Angels horde away in the Rock. Think the armour is the same, just one of many suits he has. I remember them talking about wanting to keep it unique and separate to the Heresy model. I believe this skirts around his waist are just that skirts, often used by knights/soldiers for parade dress. It's also pretty common across many fantasy/sci-fi knight factions.

@MediocreHobbies Год назад

I have read the lion book and want to be careful what to say for spoilers. But some of it still doesn’t make sence.

@madmerlinsart Год назад

@@MediocreHobbies I've already watched Valrak's spoiler video, so I kinda know what's happening. Some of it will be made much more clearer in The Lion: Son of the Forest, his first 40k novel appearance.

@@madmerlinsart ok cool so like since he has been back he hasn’t come back to the dark angels or the rock. Until the end of the book. Yet he has the sword shield and armour already. I just wonder if there is more to there story’s.

@ascaro8977 Год назад

I started yesterday to follow your guide for my Lion model!! I still do not understand how you use Corvus Black thou: do you use it to highlight the edges of the armour or is it used on the flat areas, leaving the contrast effect to the edges?

@MediocreHobbies Год назад

It's used on the flat areas, and the contrast is left as a shadow in the edges and the recesses because the Corvus Black is brighter than the contrast paint. Hope this makes sense?

@robertozambranamira4324 Год назад

@viggoeriksson805 Год назад

the dark angels were always in green armor, it's just that pre heresy it's described to be such a dark green that it's mistaken as black which is why the top edges are given a green highlight on the official paint scheme

@MediocreHobbies Год назад

In the heresy and crusades they had black armour. Not green at all.
