Summary

This tutorial showcases you what you can do with a popular miniature using almost exclusively Speedpaints (the only exception is for metallic paint which doesn’t exist at the time of this article).

Brush The Army Painter Speedpaint Grim Black over the shoulder trim, knee cap, and holstered gun

Attach the arms and paint the eyes green (this was done off camera). I’m guessing he used Malignant Green or Orc Skin for the eyes (basically yellow or green). Super glue is how you attach limbs.
Brush The Army Painter Speedpaint Sand Golem for the pouches
Brush The Army Painter Speedpaint Pallid Bone on the ribbon
