<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Troll colours?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Troll colours? ) but I'm really struggling for a main colour.

It's currently undercoated black, sat on my painting desk, daring me to try something. Speed is of the essence with this army, painting it for gaming so I'm not going to have time to do layers of blending/highlighting. Ideally want something that stands out a little, where I can use inks & drybrushing for quicker effects than proper highlighting.

Any suggestions?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582903/6596266.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582903/6596266.page GMT Re:Troll colours? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582903/6596451.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582903/6596451.page GMT Troll colours?

Not a bad idea - have you got any pictures of it?
My only concern is the green won't stand out enough against the green...skins...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582903/6598731.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582903/6598731.page GMT Re:Troll colours? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582903/6598914.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582903/6598914.page GMT Troll colours? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582903/6603295.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582903/6603295.page GMT Re:Troll colours? Highlight up with Space Wolf Grey (Now Fenrisian Grey)
Shade down in the crevices with Rax Earthshade and Leviathon Purple, shade and washes accordingly
Use red glaze or Bloodletter glaze to build warmth and depth to the nose, lips, ears and spots

add details for eyes, teeth, metal, claws etc

Varnish with a gloss varnish, I use Pledge Multi Surface Wax once dry use blue glaze to the scales (sparingly you just want to add depth)

Spray with matt varnish and finish base with static grass etc.

I have some more trolls on the table and can do a walkthrough if you're interested, although I wouldn't normally consider my stuff good enough to warrant a "How To"

If you have any problems pm me and I'll try and explain any bits.

Cheers, my fellow Crafty Gobbo! I've got 95% of those paints anyway so I'll have a bash and see how we get on, but I'll be cutting corners a little due to speed constraints.

One question - when applying the earthshade & leviathan purple after the grey, what wash is going where and in what order?
