Hi there all here is my first Ork army. I've started a month ago. It is still under construction. That is why i wanted to take some feedback from dakka fans!

Here is some more... And more is on the way...

Very nice. I like it a lot.

And my Gretchin...

Little more Nobz and i will be back when more is finished, or if i have a better camera

Very, very nice. Mind if I ask how you achieved that really nice green? As I may steal it for my AoBR Deathskullz as/when I get round to painting them.

Yes how did you do your green. Stuff looks great btw. Can't wait to see more.

Thanks for the comments mates, better pictures with better camera will hopefully show up soon.

As for the Ork skin...
Well here is my formula:

Base coat black spray
Overbrush foundation Orkhide Shade
Heavy Drybrush Goblin Green
Apply heavy Thraka Green wash -!Wait for at least 2 hrs to dry, never apply it before the previous Goblin Green is fully dry!-
Highlight with 50/50 Goblin Green/Scorpion Green
Highlight with 50/50 Scorpion Green/Bleached Bone
Matt Varnish

Well that is pretty much all. I did this to all my nobz and gretchin. My Warboss is one of my bad works so this formula is not for him.

What about Battlewagons mates? I am no totally finished with them. Are they dull? Bad? Need to see better pics to understand that

Looks really good. The Battlewagons don't look too dull, IMO.

My suggestion is to add some static grass to the bases. I assure you it'll make them look a lot more complete

Wow, that's a very nice paintjob!

I really like your skin and your use of red - may I ask how did you achieve that vivid red shade on one of your Nob's iron gob (the one with squig-bosspole)?

That's a good looking force you've got, there. I especially like the battlewagons. Enough variation in the metal to make it look like it was assembled from scrap but maintained and the perfect amount of decoration with the stripes and checks - enough to keep it from being boring, without going overboard and muddying the details.

Nice job
