Thrall

Here are the eight separate image files, one for each stage of the painting process:

Image 1: Step 1 – The Black Void

This initial image shows the Thrall miniature fully primed in matte black. The uniform black surface is critical for creating deep shadows and preparing the model for the succeeding layers of paint.

Image 2: Step 2 – Core Flesh

The second image demonstrates the base coating of the orc flesh. Large, solid areas of Dark Green are applied over the primer to establish the darkest values of the skin. This defines the core volumes of the muscles.

Color	Paint Line	Usage
Dark Green	VGC 72.029	Skin, Deep shadows and muscle crevices

---

Image 3: Step 3 – Cold Plate

The focus shifts to the armor panels. This image shows solid panels of Dark Sea Blue painted onto the shoulder and chest armor. This cool tone is perfect for establishing the deep, metallic look of Thrall’s plate.

Color	Paint Line	Usage
Dark Sea Blue	VMC 70.072	Armor, Base color for blue-black armor plates

---

Image 4: Step 4 – Metal and Trim

This image highlights the first non-blue metallic elements. Steel has been applied to the hammer, and Brass trim defines the ornate edges of the armor panels. This contrast with the cool armor is essential for the Warcraft aesthetic.

Color	Paint Line	Usage
Brass	VMC 70.202	Armor Trim, Gold/brass edges on shoulders and belt
Steel	Model Air	Weapon, Main metal head of the Doomhammer

---

Image 5: Step 5 – Defining the Muscles

Here we refine the skin tone. This image focuses on how the Camouflage Green highlight color is mixed with Ivory to define the upper surfaces and crests of the muscles. The result is a smooth, lifelike blend.

Color	Paint Line	Usage
Ivory	VMC 70.004	Bone/Tusks, Tusks, teeth, and skin mixing

---

Image 6: Step 6 – Weathered Textures

Texture is crucial for this model. This close-up view focuses on the drybrushed fur mantle (using Black Grey and a Cam. Black Brown/Flat Earth mix) and the weathered, worn texture applied to the leather straps and braids.

Color	Paint Line	Usage
Black Grey	VMC 70.185	Armor/Base, Shading blue armor and base rocks
Cam. Black Brown	VMC 70.145	Hair/Leather, Dark braids and leather straps
Chocolate Brown	VMC 70.135	Boots/Handle, Main brown for boots and handle
Flat Earth	VMC 70.151	Leather/Dirt, Highlighting leather and ground texture

---

Image 7: Step 7 – Horde Pride

This image showcases the finished elaborate base. The large ivory tusks are completed with brown staining, and the decorative banners are base-coated in Flat Red, establishing the classic Horde colors.

Color	Paint Line	Usage
Flat Red	VMC 70.039	Base/Eyes, Horde banners and eye glow

---

Image 8: Step 8 – Warchief Arisen

This final image displays the complete Thrall miniature on its detailed base. Every stage—from the black primer to the final glowing runes inside the Doomhammer—has come together, resulting in a showpiece standard figure.

Color	Paint Line	Usage
Silver RLM 01	Model Air	Weapon/Armor, Bright scratches and rivets
Electric Blue	Game Color	Weapon, Glowing runes inside the hammer
