Dark Skin. Paint the majority of the Troll's skin using Catachan Green. Leave the deepest crevices of the Troll skin Chaos Black by carefully applying the paint. This method creates depth.

Belly Skin. Complete the Troll's skin by painting Kommando Khaki over the belly and face. Again, leave deep cracks of Chaos Black by carefully applying the paint.

Eyes, Teeth, and Scales . Paint the Troll's eyes with two pinpoints of Blood Red. Pick out the teeth using Bleached Bone. Then, paint the scales scattered over the body skin Scab Red.
