Hello all,
I am just new in W40k and started orks and I will need some help with skin,clothing and weapons.
I saw some videos using washes and heard it's qick and easy but is it really good for low skill like me?
thx for answers

I dont have great painting skills, but using washes I think is great for table top quality orks
Quick and easy it definitely is

hm...looks cool, can youu pls tell which paints are you using?

Washes work well at any level so you should not have any problems and you will get better! P.S. Don't let the washes 'pool' on the figures, try and get an even covering on every surface and only let the washes gather in recesses. Citadel washes are pretty good, you should consider Devlan mud for Orks.

thx, and I should cover whole model in the wash or just skin?

I'd suggest the whole model. If you are not certain, try washing a part of the clothing and see what the effect is like.

I just use snot grean, boltgun metal, and then the rest are just typical browns and reds, no drybrushing, highlights or any
other techniques used
Then like Sliptstream said a even layer of delvan mud wash and there oyugo

Of course this is just one way of quickly doing things, you probably will develope your own system

ok thx very much,and alst question washes are ussually aplied first after basecoat or as last layer?

It all depends on you! You'll find you will use washes at all points of figure painting. An allover covering I'd say would be generally used at the end of figure painting; like if you have a batch of figures that you need to get finished quickly to use.

ok thx you very much
