Hey guys, recently I started painting the skin of my orks with Catachan Green, Camo Green, Skull White and some scorpion green mixed with chaos black.

I would like to hear your opinion on this, I'll be posting a picture of it later.

hmm... sounds interesting, i can't wait to see it.

I'm all for alternate ork colours.

Agreed sounds good,get those pics up soon.Oh and welcome to Dakka.

Here's a picture!

Might be the picture, but I dont really see any different style on there. Orks usually come in various shades of green.

He's green... so are most orkz... what am i missing?

Using different colors than normal, usually one uses goblin green, dark angels green etc.

On that picture I've used catachan green and camo green.

I use scorpion green...

It's still green and it was still applied by a brush so I'm going to have to say...

Looks like a normal ork to me. He does look a bit dustier than normal.

I'll post a better picture later, with an orc painted with Dark Angels- and Goblin Green to compare.

Well,and not to be mean,but as said before it's a green ork.Even though you might have used different colours it is still a green ork,like most are,just a different shade.That being said it looks pretty ok.

Be fair people. I can actually see a difference. There's a more saturaised look than you're standard goblin green orks. Reminds me of the way GW used to paint their gorkamorka models. Looks good.

Yep, clear difference here, it's an olive/dusky green not the lurid rich green of the standard current ork colouration in GW publications.

i think it looks better this way, as the normal green is to "shiny" and "bright"

I prefer darker orks and quite like the scheme above.

I paint mine using a mix of some really old goblin green paint I had laying around and some chaos black, to make a nice dark olive green.

Then I just wash over the top with some ogryn flesh or one of the other washes (depending on how dark I want the recesses to be).

I like my orks dark

Dark orcs are 1337<3

'New way of painting'

And you had me all excited there was a way of layering plasmified paint molecules onto mini's with forcefields. Instead there's Orks painted with different shades of green.

If you want a variety of ways of painting ork skin, check out this thread on the waaagh.

I would like to see the difference between the two orks.
