Painting Gnoblars
Gnoblars can be found throughout the Ogre Kingdoms. Therefore, you better learn how to paint the little guys if you want to field an Ogre army. However, given their small size, Gnoblars are actually a snap to paint. The average Gnoblar model is made of only a bit of ragged clothing, some flesh, and a few improvised weapons. In short (get it?), these small models are fun to paint.

Follow the detailed instructions and check out the stage-by-stage images for reference as you paint your models. Don't fret if the model doesn't come out picture perfect in the end; painting takes time and practice to master. Just do the best you can each time and be open to learning new techniques from others. Before you know it, you'll be quite an accomplished painter with models you'll be proud to game with!

1 Undercoat your model with Chaos Black. Remember that a good basecoat is the first step toward a nice miniature. Carefully paint the skin with Catachan Green. The Gnoblar clothing colours are really up to you. To duplicate this example, basecoat the clothing with Scab Red (we painted this particular Gnoblar to match the Bull Ogre guide). Paint the pants, wrappings, claws, teeth, belt, and weapon hafts with Scorched Brown.


2 Time to start highlighting. Use a watered-down, 2:3 mix of Catachan Green to Fortress Grey and highlight the Gnoblar's skin. Pick out raised areas like the bridge of the nose, nostrils, ears, and musculature. Water down some Dark Flesh and highlight the pants, weapon haft, and wrappings. Highlight the shirt with a watered-down, 1:1 mix of Blood Red to Scab Red.

3

Grab Graveyard Earth and apply a quick highlight to the wrappings. Next, add a drop of Chaos Black to Boltgun Metal and paint any weaponry with this mix. Once you are done with this step, change your water!


4

Water down some Brown Ink and apply it to any metallic areas in order to create a rusted look. Wait for this coat to dry, then carefully paint the Gnoblar's tongue with Scab Red.


5

Finish up the Gnoblar's skin by adding more Fortress Grey to the mix used in Step 2. This time, only pick out a few prominent raised areas for the highlight. Paint the teeth, claws, and highlight the wrappings with Kommando Khaki one more time. Add a quick highlight of Blood Red to the tongue and shirt. Finally, clean up any of the inked metals with Boltgun Metal. Once you get the hang of painting Gnoblars, you can crank them out at a furious pace!
