Gnolls

 These are variations of the prototype. 

I hope they look better at the end. 

Fur

Base: One of them was done with Vallejo Kaki, the other two with Vallejo Desert Yellow. 


Spots:

A mixture 1:1 of Vallejo Earth and Vallejo Parasite Brown. 


Wash:

I just went with Army Painter Red Tone. No mixture with the vallejo Umber washas with the prototype. 


Blue Armour

I was going to use GreenStuff metallic blue ink but since I not used it in a long time, the metallic pigment deposited at the bottom of the bottle and I was not able to get it in working order yet. So I mixed the blue ink with the citadel lead belcher and a bit of Lamian medium and applied it to the armour. 


Non blue armour

This time I went with citadel Balthasar gold mixed with some vallejo Desert Yellow.


Axe

Just as in the prototype, citadel lead belcher for the blade and Vallejo Bone White for the wooden handle. 


Feet 

Vallejo Charred Brown for the feet themselves and Vallejo Bone White for the leather stripes. 


This is the outcome...

Gnoll prototype

This is the first one out of four so it was the prototype for the rest. 



Here are the different colours I used. 

A generic grey primer, maybe not my best idea, the miniature does look so nice. The primer is kind of glossy and does not attach well to it. 

Lately I'm using citadel corax white in spray which works much better. I have also a vallejo white primer for brush which I still have to try but which looks promising. 

Armour

Base: Citadel Lead belcher

1st layer: GreenSuff intensity Ink tenebris blue 


Axe blade

Base: citadel lead belcher

1st layer: citadel contrast gryph-charger grey (no the best idea)

2nd layer: GreenSuff intensity ink opulentus black (better, looks like a very dark, dull metal)


Axe handle

Base: vallejo bone white

Wash: diluted GreenSuff intensity ink opulentus black

This combo seems to work very good for bone like items. 


Shield and not blue armour parts

Base: citadel lead belcher

1st layer: GreenSuff intensity Ink swamp brown


Armour undercoat

One layer of GreenSuff intensity Ink swamp brown directly over the grey primer


Fur

Base: citadel Zandri dust

Dots: citadel mournfang brown

Wash: 1:3 mixture of Army Painter Red wash : vallejo Umber wash


Snout and teeth

A bit of black ink and carefully almost dry vallejo bone white


Eyes

A bit of citadel wild rider red (which is actuality quite orange)


Feet 

For the leather stripes, citadel contrast snakebite leather. But it has not enough contrast with the colour of the fur therefore I applied a bit of citadel Lothern blue.

For the actual feet,

Base: vallejo sombre grey

Wash with vallejo umber wash

Not the look I was aiming for

Should be more dark and brownish.


Base

Vallejo desert yellow followed by Army Painter Red wash

Rock

Army Painter Red wash directly over the grey primer


Here some photos of the different steps.
