Trollblood Kriel warriors: Day 3

The first troll is mounted up in the pin vise and the painting has begun.

I have started with the basic base coating. True blue for the skin tones, Earth brown for the leather and the wood of the shield.

I am going to keep working on the NMM so the weapons were based with Grey Stone.

An idea I have for the skin will be to shade and highlight using grey instead of mixing with blues. My thoughts on it is that the grey will help give the more worn and dusty look to them but still leaves the base color of blue showing.

  • Interesting idea using the gray as the highlight color. I assume you intend to use the "cooler" gray options that border blue tones? Or are you going straight up black white gradient gray?

  • Yea, I was planning the cooler greys so as to not to create such a huge color difference.

  • The greys will make the minis cooler overall, as well. You'll be well situated for when the guitar-playing troll comes out in May.
