With any Ork army you’re going to have a ton of skin to paint. This might seem a bit daunting but in this tutorial we’re going to show you some simple steps to get your boys on the tabletop and looking their best. Lets get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Paints used<\/strong>:

Citadel Warboss Green<\/a>
Citadel Skarsnik Green<\/a>
VGC Off White<\/a>
Citadel Coelia Greenshade<\/a>
Citadel Elysian Green<\/a>

Equipment used:<\/strong>

H&S Evolution AL Plus Airbrush<\/a>
Windsor and Newton Series 7 Size 0 Brush<\/a>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Painting<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

1.<\/strong> As always we’re going to start with a smooth basecoat of primer. We finished the basing here aswell to allow for some messy drybrushing but you can leave that till later if you’d prefer.
2.<\/strong> Basecoat all of the skin using Warboss Green.
3.<\/strong> Wash the skin with an all over shade of Coelia Greenshade.
4.<\/strong> Making sure to leave the shade showing in the recesses layer the skin with Warboss Green.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Painting<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

5.<\/strong> Using a 50\/50 mix of Warboss Green\/Skarsnik Green area highlight the upper volumes of the skin.
6.<\/strong> Highlight the skin with pure Skarnsnik Green.
7.<\/strong> Using a 50\/50 mix of Elysian Green\/VGC Off White highlight the most prominent points of the skin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that the skin’s all finished. All that’s left to do is pick out the other details and your boy will be ready to join the WAAAGH! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Painting<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n


If you’re just looking to get your models on the table as quickly as possible you can skip steps 5 and 7. I find they add some nice pop to the skin though so like to include them whenever possible.
