Ghouls are fun to paint because they can exhibit so many
different skin tones and necrotic colorings. Since the
majority of the model is in fact swathes of bare skin,
you can apply a very painterly touch to these models and
achieve great results. Shown below is a simple step- by-step
guide for a pale, purple-blue skin tone that you can try
out yourself. Once you pick up on the techniques used
here, you can apply new colors to the formula and create
something unique. |

One: Once the model is undercoated Chaos
Black, painting can begin. Water down some Astronomican
Grey and apply it to the Ghoul's skin. Cover the
entire model but don't lay on a very thick coat
of paint. Basecoat the wrappings around its body
and any bones at this point with Khemri Brown and
Calthan Brown, respectively. |

Two: Mix up a 1:4 wash of water and Hormagaunt
Purple. Apply this over the entire model in a few
separate passes. You'll see how this transforms
the previously Astronmican-Grey areas to a disgusting,
blotchy skin tone. Once this wash dries completely,
go over the cloth wrappings with Kommando Khaki.
Go over any bones with a coat of Bleached Bone. |

Three: Time to finish up the majority
of the skin. Using some watered-down Space Wolves
Grey, go over the musculature of the ghoul. Highlight
raised areas and create muscle striations over areas
of smooth limbs. With some practice, you'll get
the hang of it. Apply the final highlights to the
cloth wrappings and bone using Bleached Bone and
Skull White, respectively. |

Four: Add some detail to the skin by
applying a watery mix of Red Gore to the boils,
cuts, and scars that populate the Ghoul's skin.
Carefully fill in any overpainted areas of the mouth,
eyes, and nostrils with Chaos Black. Once this is
done, pick out the teeth with Dessert Yellow and
the eyes with Vomit Brown. Paint the rock in the
Ghoul's hand Adeptus Battlegrey and any hair tufts
on the Ghoul's body Scorched Brown. |

Five: Just a few more details and your
Ghoul is all set to go. Go back over the reddened
areas where you may have slipped up a little with
Space Wolves Grey to finish the skin. Highlight
the rock edges with Shadow Grey and add some Vermin
Brown highlights to the hair tufts. Finally, add
a tiny drop of Sunburst Yellow to each eye and pick
out the teeth with some Bleached Bone. |

Ghouls come in so many color varieties. Experiment
with different washes and inks over blues, greens,
purples, and pale flesh tones to develop your own
unit of uniquely painted models. To help you choose
some colors, here is a selection of Ghouls painted
by the 'Eavy Metal team. Don't be afraid to try
something new -- you just may pick up a new technique! |
