My wife painted this, and was very excited about it!! http://40kpainting4hire.blogspot.com

**TheAngrySquig**

Well done, personally I think the skin should be a little darker, but overall its very nice

**oadie**

Like the clothes, like the armor, like the weapons, like the base. The skin... way too neon for my tastes.

**Ouze**

These flowers belong to da Orks!

**warhamster77**

yeah he is actually a lot darker in real life, still figuring out my camera.....

**matphat**

I've never had a problem with bright skinned orks myself. I've done darker ones and lighter ones and to be honest, I think the lighter ones look better on the table. More "pop" if you will.
Though the dark ones look better when photographed I suppose.

**Godeth**

Wicked looks very cool, liking the touch of flowers.

**Hindenburg**

The flowers are a very nice touch.

**Deathshead420**

Are the flowers Orkids ...perhaps ? BTW it looks really good.

**TheChaoticJournalist**

Thats certainly a nice Warboss

Good job.

**warhamster77**

Thank you, Orkids, that's good....

**Tortured-Robot**

Nice stuff, but I tend to agree the skin may need some work - prehaps just a wash to darken it.

**Tadhghouze**

Your wife is a very talented painter

**warhamster77**

yes she is, and thank you.

**TheNewMexicanGeneral**

Thats a great looking warboss. Been trying to get my fiance into painting models with me but she still refuses.

Any tips or suggestions on how to convince those of the fairer sex to join in lol.

**warhamster77**

well, you could tell her that by painting you will spend more time together doing something that does have an positive end result.

ha ha lol

btw tell your wife she done a good job and keep it up

**Jonesyboy12**

I lioke the skin alot actually. My least fave ork skin is dark dark green. Lighter the better IMO. Anyways this whole thing is awesome. Give your wife some props for me!

**warhamster77**

thank you again, this was also her first attempt at weathering. As soon as a customer of mine gets his toys, I will post some images of a Bad Moon Big Mek with Kustom Force Field that she did( I did the Tanks) she's proud of him too!

**thesilverback**

Warboss must have gotten a hold of the radioactive fungis.

**Norn King**

Love it.

**SgtSixkilla**

I like it. Don't mind the bright skin, and I actually think it looks better than dark skin, but fluff wise... Well, ork skin gets darker the stronger and bigger the ork gets. A Warboss would by default be the strongest and biggest. Anyway, I really like this model.

**IronSnake**

Oh! Whoops. I got it backwards. For some reason I thought they got greener with age.

**Great White**

Very nice. May your Waaaaaaaaggggghhhhhh never die.

**Maxstreel**

Your wife does excellent work. And count your blessings that you have a wife that can paint and tolerates your hobby!

**PaintStuff**

Your base work is phenominal how do you do it?

**matphat**

Just wanted to say again, awesome work. My wife paints as well, and she's pretty good too.
So far, only daemons though. I have not yet turned her to the green side, but I bet some grots would do the trick.

**warhamster77**

thank you, yes I am a lucky man, not only does she share my hobby, and paint better than me. today she gave me a son, and future gamer, Tynan James Morang born today at 1352, I can't wait for his first mini!!!!
