It's been a while since I posted some pics of my Orks, so here they are. Woo! 10 down!

Very nice use of washes!
Im liking the scheme alot too.

Thanks. Yeah, Tamiya Smoke, Devlan Mudd and Thraka Green are my masters now.

they look a lot rougher than most o' my orkies. But agin, nice use of washes how did you do the bones/teeth n' stuff

Very nice. Your washing is top notch. I only wish I could wash worth a damn...it would make my like soo much easier.

Love the skin tone on those orks. Very nice.

Great use of washes! The models look good. About how long did it take you to paint the squad?

Very nice =]
I like the bases too, were they complicated to make? I've had ideas for something similiar but I wasn't sure how hard it'd be.

I really like the color scheme overall, but love the way you did the choppas, great effect!

Very nice. Can you give us a basis of how you did you scheme, including washes?

-J.

Honetly I would of guess you dipped them. Nice coverage there. I really like how they turned out

@ KingCracker
Bite your tongue!

@ wyomingfox
Total was probably about 6-8 hours. Yeah, for 5 Orks. I think I'm doomed here.

@ deffskullz
Teeth are painted Burnt Umber (think Scorched Brown), then Snakebite, then a mix of 4:1 Bone to Snakebite, then topped off with Bone. Straps are the same, but get an additional highlight of 2:1 Bone to White.

@ Alazahr
Was there something specific? I keep detailed recipes of all my painting steps because I'm just that OCD.

@ number9dream
The bases have HO scale cobblestone plasticard on them as seen here:



I cut the plasticard along the stones to give a ruined cobblestone look, then filled them in with normal basing material.



They're painted dark brown, then I go in and paint some of the cobblestones in various greys and browns to add some variation. Then they get a drybrush of khaki and a light grey color (Khaki Grey and Stone Grey Model Color, respectively).

It's a bit labor intensive, but I'm not trying to rush this army and I like the effect. Besides, I don't paint every cobblestone, that would drive be mad.

Only 6-8 hours... It takes me like 8 hours + to paint one fracking marine scout! Jeesh, I am jealous enough so I would hate to see your rush jobs!

Oh and thanks for the tutorial on the bases!

You've got to hit it assembly line style. The only thing you should be painting 1 at a time is HQs. Maybe Sergeants.

Nope, I am slow at the assembly line too.

Sir, those are nearly lifelike. Keep taking your time, the results are gorgeous!!! The intricate details really add together to give a weathered feel without it looking intentionally weathered (as in a weathering technique was specifically used to achieve the effect).

They really feel warcraft 2 to me, although that genre of orc/ks does not have guns heh.

They are amazing !!!!

wow very nice, well done!
