All things smelly and speedy : Trolls and goblins wolf riders !
My troll unit features Citadel (C20) and Marauder (MM40) models.
In my opinion, they remain among the best ever sculpted.
Second row photo :
Some close-ups :
And some paint recipes for their skin.
Main skin
- Base : a mix of Elysian green (GW), Flat yellow (VMC), Livery green (VGC), Bone (VGC) and White.
- Several highlights by adding a mix of Livery green, Flat yellow and White
- Shadows with Soft tone wash (AP), and Baal red (GW) for nose and ears for example
- Sometimes some areas are nuanced with a mix of Yellow ink (GW) and Athonian camoshade (GW)
- A small wash of Blue ink (GW) under the eyes, and Skin wash (VGC) on the lips
Belly skin
- Base : Death world forest (GW)
- Highlights by adding more and more Bone (VGC)
I started a unit of Goblins Wolf Riders, also old but still beautiful models. I think I'm going to retouch the "club head" with a much lighter tone.
These two units bring speed and strength to the army, which should also include many war chariots...

Iron orcs's banner
Another article on the banners, this one is the standard bearer of the iron orcs.
Different from those of the goblins, because here the banner is "solid", part of the sculpture.
Before and after adding the symbol.
This wonderful miniature is available on the Knightmare miniatures site :

Goblins Banners
Almost a year without an article, shame ! I have a lot of progress on the goblins. I present here the banners.
This one comes from the Orcs and Goblins Warhammer V4 Army Book.
For the colors of the bottom of the banner, with very diluted hues :
- Base : VGC bone
- In the corners : color gradient starting with VGC beasty brown, then VGC beasty brown + Black.
- On some transitions : VGC Cobra leather
- Spots : AP strong tone + GW Baal red wash, for a reddish brown
You will find all the techniques on the fabulous site of Nico :
