I started painting the growing Ork horde I have been collecting. So I will just combine my orcs and chaos projects here! So now for some Orky hordy destructive fun!
I started a Bad Moon army, with a desert Khaki camo scheme. I am working on faces still, not very good at them.
Base Coat of Chaos black.
Skin = 50/50 white/orkhide, goblin green, green wash,
Armor= 50/50 white/badmoon yellow, badmoon yellow, black stripe, delvan mud wash
Pants= Khmer brown with black and calathan brown camo and delvan mud wash
Weapons= chainmail, bronze and delvan mud wash
Various bags, etc = scorched brown, snakebite leathers!

Enjoy the pics and as all ways feedback is welcome!

not bad, i would recommend some inks. they do a marvelous job. use black or brown on the ork skin and they will have shading in the groves.

i like it but you should do a babab black wash

Looking good. maybe a few more highlights, but its comming together nicely

For the love of all that's holy please wash that skin!!!!

however your yellow is nice!

for leather & tarnish on the weapons, never be w/out fleshwash.

also, a tip for the faces, orky eyes are really hard at first, so get as little paint on the brush as possible & hold the brush really close to the bristles.

also, paint the grin with snakebite leather & pick out the teeth in bleached bone.

other than that, great!

Gryphonne Sepia and Badab Black will help immensely.

The bold colour scheme will look great on the battlefield, IMO.

Thanks guys
I will put another coat of thraka green on the Ork hide. So the arms and faces have more definition.
I used Delvan mud on all the none green surfaces. I'm not sure if I want to put more on.
Thanks for tips on faces, the few I have done made the orks look a bit silly
More to come soon

Update INC!
I painted 3 warbikes and Killa Kan this weekend
The yellow makes them stand out, but any self respecting orc wants to seen, heard and smelled coming . I still need to do the eyes/teeth on the bikers and Base the Killa Kan, but ere we go! Lots of Pics INC
Enjoy C&C is always welcome

For the Kan and bikes I'd suggest picking a few armor plates at random and painting them Red. Something to break up the scheme a little bit, but still as gaudy and clashy.

like the bike! and i see a wash! well done!

Looking good, we'll have to work out something for the highlights on the yellow, but i like

In the main I think you should do some washes as suggested, but most especially the yellow areas need work.

I'd suggest some ochre drybrushing, and some brown drybrush over that on areas closer to the ground and fading less and less towards the higher parts of the model, to simulate dust and mud accumulation.

An additional step with washes or drybrush will give some additional depth and detail to your army, and make 'em look 10x more dakka!

Some Dakka for you
I went over some of the hard edges with regal blue to break the yellow up.
Enjoy

I like the nobs, eh, but i dont see his eyes. The bikes are great dude.

I'd like to see ghazgkull or any warboss.

Why don't you try using gryphonne sepia on the yellow, it will break up some of the flat surfaces, meaning that they aren't quite so garish.
Thraka green on the skin and badab black on the metal will work well, meaning that the colours aren't quite as flat

Time to stomp some humies ! Here are my bosses for now. AOBR boss, Boss with attack squig, big mek w/KFF and big mek. These guys were a lot of fun to paint
Enjoy the pics!
Lets get stuck in

man no offense to you but i am getting bored of the aobr warboss so many people have him and ive only known 2 people to convert him

I took some AOBR nobs and did some simple conversions with them. I had some extra terminator arms and I decided to put a few of them on these nobs. These nobs all have shiny new cyborik arms complete with Lightning claws(count as PKs), and one with a Shoota/big Shoota.
Lots of Dakka
PS: As a new 40k player I always appreciate tips and suggestions. If you are not going to offer a suggestion to improve my work please don't post. Kthxbye

like it alot but maby make the pks look more looted! like the chaos one now for some

More wash on the squig for shading. Great idea on the looted power klaws!! Paintin' time

Please take some more time and effort to paint your models instead of hurriedly plonking on paint and posting as quickly as you can.

Base coat your models black, use a smaller brush, stop loading paint all over the cracks - just follow the standard rules.

I suggest you keep painting and practicing, just don't be i such a hurry to post them on the internet, give it a year or two and you should be better.

Hi

I like the yellow for looking down on a table full of the guys - good stand out army colour.

Have an experiment with creating a wash - making a thin wash with beastial brown or similar and putting it over the yellow would tone down the glare, pick out the shadows and help show contrast.

I painted up the Orc Nobs with the looted termi arms I add some colors, to weapons and did a very heavy wash on on everything.
Sorry about the pics, it is very cloudy and snowy here, and my flash overpowered the minis I think.
Enjoy C&C always welcome.
Thanks to everyone that suggested using gryphon sepia wash it is a nice red/brown rust color

There's generally a rule whenever painting minis that you try not to use over four or five colours when painting, it makes the model look simpler and not as busy. Try not to use ten colours on each model.
Once had a match against a little kid with a Nid army, he had a group of genestealers called: 'The Flying Circus'. Let me tell you all that colour made my head spin.

And whilst the washes do make them look slightly better, you still need to basecoat your models.

OMG!

looking Amazing

Is going to look magical on tht tabletop

Big update here.
I painted up the rest of my kommados and some burnas/lootas.
I am taking a small break with from my waaagh and painting/repainting some of my renegade SM force.
I really like the Red renegade, not sure about the other 2 if I want to add those schemes to my force.
Enjoy, C&C always welcome.

Here are the Renegades.

A criticism (with best intent of the renegades: I'm not seeing anything renegade about them; they look just like loyalist marines!

I assume though, that although they're renegade, they might not be "chaotic" as you used loyalist models and not chaos space marine models... so is this supposed to be a chapter completely independent of both the imperium and chaos? I like that idea, and I don't think it's used often enough.

Either way, even if you paint an "X" over the imperial symbols, or maybe scratch them off or desecrate them in some other way, so you get the idea across!

I am adding some guys to my renegade warband. I am mixing SM and CSM minis into my units. The SM minis are keeping their imperium icons as an insult to their former battle brothers.. Death to the False emperor..... I really liked the idea of newer SM convert over to chaos. Thats why I have so many SM models, but hey life is so much better on the dark side.
Enjoy these pics, C&C welcome
