So I finished my Marine army more or less.. and now I'm trying some boyz.

Making an Evil Sunz army, so this army is taking a red scheme as opposed to my Ultras.

They haven't been based, and I haven't drilled the barrels yet, but I will be doing that before long.

Here are two samples.

Nice. I like the clean muscle definition.

Here's one of my new nobz.

Very nice and clean looking. I definately like.

How do you like the detail on the orks compared to your space marines?

Looking Good.

Looks good. I made the exact same switch you did. Except I'm doing the Blood Axe tribe instead of the Evil Sunz.

Nice one. I really like your highlighting. How many layers do you use for your green skin?

Are you going to paint all your ork models to this standard?

I prefer painting the Orks..

Marines were fun, and it's a very different style doing predominately block highlights as opposed to single line..

My marines are painted like this:


And I love the look of them.. but Marines have sort of fallen into my bad books at the moment.. I failed one too many Power Armor Saves.. lol

I love Orks that look Dirty but clean at the same time.. and by that I mean are painted cleanly but then made to look dirty and un-uniform.

good good another recruit to the WARGHH
I like the look of your orks, nice clean simple pallet and good detail to.

It's very simple skin too..

Prime black
Base coat in Knarloc Green
Wash in Thraka Green
Block Highlight in Goblin Green with a bit of water, well mixed so you can just start to see the highlights in the colour start to seep a bit.
Block Highlight smaller more raised areas in 50/50 mix of Goblin Green and Talarn Flesh, same water as above.

nice skin tip,
love your painting style, very vibrant colours

ya, good job. looks alot better than most of the orks i see

It's easier to hide mistakes on dark orks

Thanks for the feedback I'll post more when I get them done.
