How I painted this tiny wrestler from "The Mighty Madcaps" team for Rumbleslam. Be sure to check out my guide for the full team, if you want to see the other members.
Goblin Skin
- Basecoat with Elysian Green .
- Make a mix of 3 parts Athonian Camoshade , 1 part Drakenhof Nightshade and 1 part Biel-Tan Green . Use this mix to glaze over the skin, pulling pigment towards the recesses.
- Add a small amount of Incubi Darkness to the above mix and shade only the deepest recesses.
- Highlight with Elysian Green and Ogryn Camo , mixed 1:1.
- Add finer highlights, covering even less area with pure Ogryn Camo .
- With a 1:3 mix of Ogryn Camo and Screaming Skull , selectively highlight the skin.
- Add very small/specular highlights with Screaming Skull .
- Glaze Kislev Flesh over knuckles, ears, elbows and lips. The re-add specular highlights of Screaming Skull , if needed.
Red Cloth
- Basecoat with 1:1 Khorne Red & Doombull Brown .
- Mix Khorne Red & Abaddon Black 1:1, thin it down and shade the recesses.
- Highlight with a 1:1 mix of your base colour and Jokaero Orange .
- With pure Jokaero Orange add fine highlights.
- Selectively highlight with 1:1 Jokaero Orange and Ushabti Bone .
- Finish of with specular highlights of Screaming Skull , where needed.
Mushroom Flesh
- Basecoat with Screaming Skull . I applied mine with an airbrush, so there was a nice transition.
- Add soft shading to all of the flesh with a 1:1 mix of Screaming Skull and Baneblade Brown . I like to thin with Lahmian Medium .
- Shade more selectively with pure Baneblade Brown .
- In particularly deep recesses, run some Dryad Bark in, for extra definition. This is also a good colour for darkening the eye sockets.
- As an optional bonus stage, consider a glaze of Seraphim Sepia , especially where the two flesh types blend. I found this adds a little more warmth and variation to the skin, making it look more alive.
Red Mushroom Cap
- Basecoat with Mephiston Red .
- Shade around white spots with Khorne Red .
- Glaze highlight with Evil Sunz Scarlet
- Highlight more selectively with Fire Dragon Bright .
- Add small highlights of 1:1 Tau Light Ochre and White .

- Glaze in a little Celestra Grey for shading.

- Highlight more selectively with White .
Blue Mushroom Caps

- Highlight with 1:1 Ahriman Blue and Blue Horror .
