I've had Angron for well over a year, but I'm not particularly good at painting and, frankly, I felt way too intimidated to paint him.

My son made a flippant comment when I asked him to do something for me (I'll do that when you paint Angron) that kinda brought home to me that I've taken so long.

So, I just had a go.

I went with a more fleshy skin tone so that I could get his face tats (assuming that's what they are) in there, and I have him a white bracer to kinda suggest a part of his old self was there. I wanted to try to capture some of the tragedy of what he used to be and what he had before.

Anyway, here he is.

Like many, I find the new Sanguinor a bit disappointing. He should have been a badass figurehead.

Anyway, I've really liked a few proxies people have shared, but when I found out the base size of this guy was the same it just makes sense.

He's unprimed because I usually prime black, but I thought I'd like to prime him white however last time I did it came out dusty looking (despite heating the can in a bucket of warm water and shaking for 10 minutes) so I'm trying to decide if it's worth trying again or sticking with black. Does grey primer have the same issues as white? I don't hehe an airbrush.

Finally got hold of the Patriarch I always wanted (my friend bought him on release but I never did) and wanted him to be treated as he deserves.
