GORBAD IRONCLAW
Painting Gnarla
Painting Tusks

Neil decided to start this project by painting Gnarla. Though he normally likes to work
on a single small area at a time, Neil decided to paint the entire sub-assembly at once, to
make it easier for us to illustrate how it was done.

Preparing the Model
After cleaning up all the parts of the
miniature with a hobby knife and a set of
files, Neil put the pieces together without
glue to check that they fitted correctly. This
process is called a “dry fit”. If the parts
don’t fit snugly, they generally need to be
scraped and filed in places until they do.
Next, Neil undercoated all of the
components with Chaos Black spray paint.
Neil decided to paint all of the parts
separately, in “sub-assemblies”. This
enabled him to lavish attention on every
part of the miniature, because nothing was
obscured during the painting process. You
might find it useful to attach the pieces to
temporary bases while painting them, to
stop your fingers coming into contact with
the fresh paint job.
mightiest Orc Warlord that ever lived.
Atop his fearsome boar, Gnarla, Gorbad
drove his horde across the Empire, sacking
and burning many great cities and even
bringing Altdorf under siege.
Even today, many centuries after his
death, the name of Gorbad Ironclaw is
feared in the Empire and his memory kept
alive by the Orc Warlords that have
succeeded him. Perhaps none can ever live
up to his name – he was the greatest
Warlord of all; an inspiration to Orc-kind.
The miniature that represents Gorbad in
games of Warhammer is a massive multi-
part metal kit, and one of the most
impressive models in the Orcs & Goblins
range. Neil Langdown takes up the
challenge of painting this monster…

Painting the rock

you begin by drybrushing
straight over a black undercoat.

From the Inside Out
As mentioned earlier, Neil
usually takes a slightly
different approach to
figure-painting than the
one used here. He
generally prefers to paint
a single area at a time,
starting with the inner
“layers” of a miniature
(usually the skin), and
working outwards until
he gets to the surface
detail. This is a very
methodical way of
painting, and relies on a
painter’s neatness –
something that ’Eavy
Metal excel at!
One of the many challenges Neil faced was that Gorbad’s armour is bright red, which
clashes with the Orc’s green skin. To compensate, Neil gave Gorbad a lighter skin tone,
which makes the characteristic green stand out from its surroundings.
Black Armour
Edging highlight
with 1:1 mix of
Chaos Black and
Codex Grey.
Axe Haft
Accentuate wood
grain with 1:2
mix of Chaos
Black and
Bleached Bone.
Gorbad’s Face
Highlight.
Neil built up the
final highlights on the icon
with several coats of thinned-
down Skull white.
Fur Cloak
Wash with Black Ink.
Inner Cloak
1:1 mix of Bestial
Brown and
Bleached Bone.

Basecoat.
Neil started with a
smooth, mid-tone basecoat,
mixed from equal parts Goblin
Green and Bronzed Flesh.
Shade.
As the face is quite craggy,
a wash of an equal parts mix of
Brown and Dark Green Inks really
brings out the detail.
Highlight.
Neil then re-applied
the base colour to the face,
leaving the shading wash visible
in the recesses.
Final Highlights.
Neil used
thinned-down Chaos Black to
plot out a chequerboard
pattern on the axe icon.

Bleached
Bone.
Black Armour
Edging highlight of
Codex Grey.
Axe Haft
Accentuate wood
grain with 1:3
mix of Chaos
Black and

Final Details.
Finally, Neil used
Chaos Black paint to block out
alternate square on the icon,
creating a distinctive check
pattern.
Inner Cloak
1:2 mix of Bestial
Brown and
Bleached Bone.
This technique works very
well for Black Orcs but
requires a very neat approach.
Final Highlight.
The first stage
highlights were mixed from the
base colour, with the addition of a
spot of Bleached Bone.
Extra Details.
Neil slightly
watered down some Rotting Flesh
and applied this sparingly as a
small, extreme highlight.

Overbrush 1:1 mix of
Bestial Brown and

Gorbad’s Legs
Gorbad’s Final Highlights
Final Details and Weathering
Top Tip
1
With the model almost complete, the last thing Neil needed to do was add some intricate
details, and plenty of battle-damage and weathering.
Pinning
Gorbad is a heavy
miniature, and the sub-
assemblies will benefit
from pinning to lend the
model extra strength
during gaming. This
process simply involves
drilling a hole into the
two parts you’ll be gluing
together, and inserting a
section of paperclip to
strengthen the bond
between the components.
Jawbone
Edging highlight of 1:2
mix of Bleached Bone
and Skull white.
Red Armour
Edging highlight of
Blazing Orange.
Basecoat.
Neil went back and
painted Gorbad’s legs in the
same way as the red armour.
Axe Blade
Mithril Silver.
2
Black Armour
Edging highlight of
Fortress Grey.
Axe Banding
1:1 mix of Kommando
Khaki and Skull white.
Shade.
Note how the shading
wash is applied precisely,
rather than washed all over.
Inner Cloak
1:4 mix of Bestial
Brown and
Bleached Bone.
Axe Haft
Highlight wood grain with
1:6 mix of Chaos Black
and Bleached Bone.

Fur Cloak
Highlight Desert Yellow.
Note the triangular “dags” painted
onto select armour plates. Neil
has painted red dags onto black
sections, and vice versa.
Highlight.
The Blazing Orange
highlights are applied only to
the sharpest edges.

The battle damage was painted last
of all, by simply daubing Mithril
Silver onto the edges of the armour
to resemble paint chips.
Painting the Evil Sun Symbol
Details like this are works of art, and we’re reliably informed that Neil is one of the few
members of the ’Eavy Metal team who would even attempt such a thing.

Basecoat.
The wood grain
on the banner poles was
painted on, as the poles
themselves have no
surface detail.
Shade.
A small amount of
Blue Ink was added to the
shading wash for the blade
of the magical Solland
Runefang.
Highlight.
The severed
hand was highlighted
more severely than is
usual, to represent it’s
gaunt, decaying status.
Final Highlight.
The skulls
were highlighted up to
Skull white from a base of
Khemri Brown. Brown Ink
provided the shading.
Final Details.
The dinks
and chips on the glyph
were painted first with
Chainmail, then carefully
highlighted Mithril Silver.
Neil likes to begin detail
work like this with simple,
geometric shapes. He began
with a circle of Blood Red.
After painting an outer band
of Chaos Black, Neil shaded
in the face details with
thinned-down Scab Red.
Neil added highlights of
Blazing Orange and Vomit
Brown. The first eight rays
were added as guidelines.
The eyes and first row of
checks were painted Skull
White. The teeth were
highlighted Bleached Bone.
Neil used Black Ink and a
fine brush to draw in the
definition lining, and added
the second row of checks.
