So I've just got into this hobby and liked the look of orks. So this is where I'm at atm and cnc welcome

haven't anything helpful to add, but I really like the look of your orks they're turning out to be really fun models to paint

A good clean paint job is worth SO much more than people think. These guys look good, and there is really no greater feeling than having a painted army on the table for your friends to say cool! I know guys who spend months on five models they are never happy with, while their whole army sits unpainted! You have a good scheme, it looks orky, and I like it! I am only a tabletop quality painter skill wise, so I'm not in a position to talk about technique etc. Keep it up and get those greenskins...well, green and on the table!

Just got into the hobby my backside! Hiw many months have you been practicing?

Lookin' good so far, but people will be a lot more likely to want to view them if they aren't sideways.

That was weren't they were sideways when I took them but uploaded sideways

Looks good boss,

I'd say you have the brush control down. My only critique would be to start playing with some highlights / line edging (if that's your style).

Keep it up!

Looking good so far. Thanks for sharing!

Been a busy evening. Not happy with the yellow atm. Still wip

I think it looks great and spot on to the fluff of deff skullz. On other fluff worthy mention is Orks will paint themselves blue to find extra loot after combat, because blue is lucky!
More lore to keep you motivated!

Yh i was awqare of that but didn't want too much blue on them

Getting there slowly but surely

Looks good. If your not happy with the yellow hit it with more agrax earthshade. My Bad Moons get yellow bitz white base then flash gitz yellow then earthshade.

Still loving these guys and hoping to see more. Hey, Hades, those look good too, and thanks for sharing some tips. I struggle with yellow and always revert to the standard seraphim (or Gryphonne or whatever the new name is) wash.

Nice work! - always nice to see a good looking deffskullz army

Yellow can be a tough color to work with sometimes. I tend to go a little more vivid by painting the yellow area white and going back over it with a yellow ink.

Keep it up!

Cheers for the tips on the yellow. working on custom bases atm for these guys. Trying to stick with an industrial City theme.

Some lovely gashes in my thumbs from scalpel work lol but it wouldn't be orky with out blood lmao.

So I got the concept for the burner boyz bases I'm happy with. Which is them going through civilian streets cleansing the with fire. The rubble is done. Got to re black what will be road on one base. And more work on the sand stone color

Just the bone work left to do. Cnc?

Next up the warboss

Bases look good. Little bit of work like that shows a lot in a model. Still enjoying this army, and your painting. Keep sharing man!

looking good man, where do you play im plymouth uk as well

having pulled a muscle in my back, painting has ands still is causing quite some agony... missing painting.

And wargamer theres several clubs i play at but personally wont go near GW itself

Oh man, the dangers of the hobby...see why I always splurge on a medic for the command squad? 5+ feel no pain...
And heal fast man, waiting to see some more!

Yh man it sucks i was just beginning work on my war boss as well to make it worse

So the back is doing better. And ive managed to finish the base coats on the warboss

Looking good.

Keep it comin' man! This guy looks ready to punt a grot across the table AND smile about it! He looks rough, tough, gritty, and like I could smell him from across a continent...which is very orky. His mushroom mother would be proud (<---orks are shrooms may be the stupidest buit of fluff in ANY game I have ever played...but there is an appeal there)

Looks awesome, v.good painting for a new guy to the hobby Warboss is good, great idea using the Grukk model. (Especially since deathskulls are quite meky, the half power klaw half mini killsaw on Grukk works really well with deathskulls it seems) Looks great again keep up good work, ever considered painting some face war paint on the warboss or if you have ordinary boyz? Deathskulls like their face paint!
Big thumbs up awesome models!

So the washes have been applied. And the first layer of skin has been added

Well that was a surprise after attending a local club today to meet with fellow wargamers, one had seen my work on here and asked me to paint his tau army for him... as i understand it mech suits smallish mid sized and 3 large ones, and something like 30 men.... surprised don't cover it

I'm thinking Braveheart style for the warboss

and might try adding green and red on the trousers tartan style, just playing with ideas to make this guy really stand out
