[Archive] War mammoth

[system]

Zuh-Khinie:

Hey guys…

I promised a friend of mine to paint one of his war mammoths (yes, mammothS… FW should really start working out on a better delivery-return sysytem).

He wants it to be Khorne-y (pun intended), but I don’t really know how to make a start on it.

I was thinking a greyish fleshcolour for the exposed skin parts, and maybe a dark brown or even a black/greyish fur…

However, should I paint all metal parts in red with brass accents, or…

What do you guys think?

Cheers for any feedback!

don’t see why not. one of the mumak (?) painting tutorials had big painted symbols on the heffalump’s skin. you could do the khorne stuff that way.

I think that your idea is pretty good. I would paint the top wooden bit a dark brown, and the sheilds, icons and banners should be red, and the head armour rusty - bronze, or red like the sheilds and icons.

hope this helps, even if it dosen’t fit.

What i do is look at some of the ogre stuff.

Like the thundertusk throw it white it would give you a diffrent look at a plain old mamoth

Nice bold metal would also be cool
