It seems hard to paint a good transition for heat on a cool blue colour. That might be the reason that PP did the model a brown red skin colour to avoid that issue.
It’s not too difficult, really, it just requires a little bit more work…
If you want finer transitions, do more layers. That’s all there is to it, really !

I prefer the blue troll look with flaming fists as my Pyre troll sitting next to me can confirm
I never did light sources before and it comes off intimidating to me. That my be the next project I should do if I’m skittish about it. Need to keep growing in my painting 🙂
How many parts will this be?
I’m glad you did this, I wanted a blue skintone tutorial. Love that you used P3 paints. We own all the range here at home. 🙂
5 Parts One every day this week 😉
Thanks Warren.
Relay every day! Thats nice!
Romain, do you have a website or gallery of your own or anything like that? I was wondering what sort of projects you like to work on for your own enjoyment away from doing demos and things like that.
Maintaining a website is hard work… I can’t spare the tim at the moment ! You can see some of my work on Minirama, right here on Beasts of War.
BoW Romain
Like the time warp of the base coating.
This will be a nice tutorial. Good you paint it in Trollblood colors instead of the brown/red. The glow effect comes better on the blue.
I always look forward to your painting videos, you’re quite good and you explain things well. You’ve helped me big time, I’m really interested to see your technique on fire, and the light it puts on the troll wielding it. Thank you for having the patience to show people like me how to properly apply techniques.
Thank you for your words of gratitude…
I really feel priviledged making these videos, and receiving comments like this one only makes the honor sweeter.
Remember, though : you can watch all the videos in the world but nothing replaces first hand experience !
BoW Romain
Great video! Thanks for making it!
What did you prime the mini with?
Thanks again!
Thanks for watching !
It’s my usual priming method, also called pre-shading. Many painters do it that way, and it’s also what the No Quarter magazine painters do most of the time. It’s also the single most asked question in my tutorials… But never you mind !
There’s a tutorial about that method in the backstage part of the site, just for people who ask this question… But it’s pretty easy. Spray black everywhere, spray grey over the edges to make them stand out, then spray white lightly from the top.
That’s all there is to it !
Have fun painting,
BoW Romain
Thanks for the feedback! I will have to try that out. And thanks again for all the great tutorials!

I also painted my Pyre troll with brown fading to a red gore to brown mix to avoid the problems showing fire reflection on a cool blue skin tone.
Wow Romain,
I got to hand it to you that is looking pretty sharp and its only pt 1
I am guessing the time involved is a bit lengthy but hey looking at the finished piece there on top of page, wished I saw this before painting mine
Thanks a lot !
In retrospect, I could have done better.
Stay tuned for another fire-light tutorial…
I would love to have a video like this done for space marines where the whole model is painted instead of just an arm
What… you mean you’re not satisfied on the numerous tips I’ve done on a space marine, nor on those Dave has done ? And you haven’t seen the tutorial I’ve done on a Grey Knights terminator, or the one I’ve done on a Chaos Lord Terminator ? Don’t hesitate to browse through past 3 colours up videos… There’s a neat search engine on Beasts of War. In the meantime, feel free to apply the techniques I’m showing on any type of miniature. That’s what they’re for ! 😉 Oh, and there’s another full tutorial in the vaults on a space… Read more »
