Up next for me over the past week or so were some Ghouls.

I estimated that I could need around 10 of them, so began sourcing what I had.

I found two metal GW Ghouls from a fair few years back, plus some Mantic plastic Ghouls. I also grabbed some Mantic Zombies, since the Ghouls only had two different legs and two different torsos.

There were some hands with weapons on, so to add variety I snipped off some hands and replaced them. I mixed in a couple of zombie legs and zombie torsos alongside the Ghoul parts to add variety. One chap had a somewhat reminiscent pose, so while I was filling base gaps and covering the puddle bases he got a milliput cape 😊

They were then all given a sand and gravel basing, zenithal spray and several with given an extra bit of white drybrushing to brighten and define some areas.

Then it was on to laying down some colours.

I wanted a mixed palette for the skin tones across the group. I used combinations of grey, beige and some purple in differing amounts across all ten of them. I then added thinned purple washes, mainly to face, chest, spine and extremities.

For the clothing I used a mainly earthy palette, but added in some red and dark blue. This was all given a dark wash, and a drybrush with pale sand to make them look worn.

Picked out weapons and suchlike, darkened around the eyes, and then used a fluo yellow for the eyes themselves. A few finishing touches, basing and they were done.
