How I painted this huge troll wrestler from "The Green Bruisers" team for Rumbleslam. Be sure to check out my guide for the full team, if you want to see the other members.
Skin
- Basecoat with 1:1 Karak Stone & Thunderhawk Blue .
- Add some Dark Reaper into your base mix and add general shading to the skin.
- Deep Shade with Dark Reaper .
- On very deep parts I added a little Black and Khorne Red to my Dark Reaper to add real definition. This is also the mix I used to darken the eyes, prior to picking them out.
- Increase the amount of Karak Stone in your basemix, so it is now roughly 2:1 with the Thunderhawk Blue . Apply highlights to all of the skin.
- With an equal parts mix of Karak Stone , Thunderhawk Blue . and White , add fine highlights to the skin.
- Now mix 1:1 Karak Stone and White , then selectively highlight the skin.
- You can finish off with specular highlights of White in a few places if you like, but don't overdo it.
Lips and Ears
- Glaze overt the areaa with very thin 1:1 :Citadel/KislevFlesh and Khorne Red .
- Highlight with Kislev Flesh .
- More selectively highlight with Kislev Flesh and White .
Scales
- Mix Stegadon Scale Green and Abaddon Black in an equal parts, then thin 50/50 with water. I Used water with a little flow improver, to ensure it ran into recessed, then washed all of the scales.
- Drybrush the exposed portions of the scales with Stegadon Scale Green .
- Edge highlight with Fenrisian Grey .
- Add specular highlights of Blue Horror on points.
Nails
- Basecoat with 1:1 Rhinox Hide and Black .
- Now cover everything but the deepest recesses with Rhinox Hide and XV-88 1:1.
- Apply fine highlights with XV-88 to the ridges.
- Add selective highlights of Ushabti Bone tpowards the edge.
- Finish with specular highlights of Wraithbone on the ends.
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 .
