The first stage was to assemble the model. Green stuff was then applied to any gaps where the components met. Chaos Black undercoat was sprayed over the entire model, followed by watered down Chaos Black being painted into any area the spray didn't cover.

PAINTING THE MODEL

Catachan Green was used for the basecoat on the Goblin King's skin. Successive layers of paint were added to the skin, each time adding more Desert Yellow to the Catachan Green.

The armour was drybrushed with Tin Bitz, followed by a more selective Boltgun Metal drybrush on the chain mail and armour plates. Finally Chainmail was drybrushed lightly onto the armour, followed by a highlight of Codex Grey on the edges of the armour plates.

The Goblin King's tunic was given a basecoat of Red Gore, followed by a layer of equal parts Red Gore and Blood Red. A small amount of Bleached Bone was added to the mix for the final highlights.

The sword was drybrushed with Boltgun Metal followed by a further drybrush of Chainmail. A wash of equal parts Black and Brown inks then applied.

An equal parts mix of Chaos Black and Codex Grey was drybrushed onto the hair, followed by a highlight of pure Codex Grey.

The rock was drybrushed with Snakebite Leather, then with Fortress Grey.

The Goblin King's eyes were painted Vomit Brown. This was followed by an equal parts mix of Sunburst Yellow and Skull White with the centre of the eye being applied with Chaos Black.

BASING

The bases of both models were painted with Codex Grey. A very dilute wash of Chaos Black paint was then applied and the bases were then drybrushed with Bleached Bone. The rims of the bases were left Codex Grey.
