Here is the first batch of Goliath models completed. These were great fun to paint, and, thanks to Garfy’s feedback, I’m very happy with the paint scheme in the end. I went for dark, brooding colours, with warm reds, browns and orange for a steaming-hot and aggressive look – straight from the hot and sweaty forges of Necromunda. Hope you like them – leave your comments and feedback below!

Stahly
Stahly is the founder of Tale of Painters. He lives in Craftworld Hamburg, located in the north of Germany, where he walks the Path of the Graphic Designer. He transitioned from Lego to Games Workshop models at the tender age of 11 and didn't look back ever since. He is known for bold colour schemes and sharp edge highlights, which he paints with typical German perfectionism (one of the reason he is such a notoriously slow painter).

Thank you so much for the recipes. Flesh tones are tough to get right.
Can we get a little insight into the paints used for the flesh tones
