[WFB][PAINT] Just another TROLL post...(long)
The Ancient Gamer
In any case I am on the horns of a dilemma (and those bastards are sharp
too). Whenever I paint a large creature, or character, they sort of talk to
me...okay they don't REALLY talk to me, just thoughts about them pop into my
head...some of the things I learn are there names, and perhaps a bit of
history about them.
Well today I painted yet another troll (that's three today woohoo). This is
the 5th one I have painted, but he didn't tell me his name (maybe he's
stupid)!
Now I have him scanned and I will show you the picture in a bit, but I also
wrote down the painting steps I used (sorry no 20+ scans this time). So
browse through the steps I made to paint a Stone Troll, and then we can get
on with this post.
How I paint a Stone Troll
(this assumes that you have already cleaned up and primed your figure)
1) Base coat Shadow Grey
2) Light wet brush belly, face, biceps, inside forearm, hands, feet & back
of legs Codex Grey
3) Paint Rocks Codex Grey
4) Paint wood areas Dark Flesh
5) Let dry about 20 minutes
6) Paint Ropes & loin cloth Bronzed Flesh
7) Give entire figure a very thin Black paint wash
8) Let dry about an hour
9) Dry brush same areas as #2 with Fortress Grey or for a bluish tint Space
Wolf Grey
10) Paint inside of mouth Red Gore
11) Paint Chains Black
12) Paint any teeth, bones or skulls with Elf Flesh
13) Pick out pimples on stomach with Yellow or Orange and scar with Bilous
Green
14) Paint eyeballs with Ghostly Grey
15) Paint toenails and fingernails Rotting Flesh
16) Dry brush the wood with Vermin Brown
17) Make a Dark Flesh stain and go over the skull, bone toenails and
fingernails
18) Thin the remaining Dark Flesh stain and wash over the rocks
19) Put a Blood Red dot in the eye be sure to allow some of the Ghostly Grey
to show
20) Lightly paint the chains Boltgun Metal
21) paint the bells Brass or Copper (I use both)
22) Highlight the edges of the teeth with White or Ghostly Grey, then dry
brush the bone & skull White
23) Drybrush the rocks with Fortress Grey CAREFULLY!
24) Put a small Black dot in the center of the red portion of the eyes
25) Touch up around the partially closed eye with Shadow Grey
26) Touch up the lower lip with the color of your choice Shadow Grey would
be good if you have no intention of changing the color of the back of the
troll... While I don't plan on changing colors, I have decided to paint the
lower lip Vile Green for a contrast
27) Base and flock the model according to your preference.
28) Spray the model with a fixer(varnish) and go kick some ELF BUTT!

Now here is the problem, I have Stripe the Troll, The Barf Brothers (Frik &
Frak) and Gimp the Troll (his leg broke)...
So what do I name this troll?
Submit the name you like, and maybe the dumb troll (maybe he was a blond
when he had hair) will remember his name, if he hears it...

Having seen "Young Frankenstein" far more times than is healthy, I'm leaning
towards Igor (not 'ee-gore', 'eye-gore'!).
