As a fellow ork collector I can say your black orcs-nobs looks really, realy good. I love the way you kepp skin and armour smooth and simple. The skin is especially good - you archieved this "organic" fell that is hard to get righ when painting non-humans.
Even if you left them untouched and call them finished just now... they´d still look gret.

Seriously, that's one of the ugliest (best) ork skin schemes I've seen. My hat's off to you sir. Mind sharing the recipe?

Oh, Death was never enemy of ours!
We laughed at him, we leagued with him, old chum.
No soldier's paid to kick against His powers.
We laughed - knowing that better men would come,
And greater wars: when each proud fighter brags
He wars on Death, for lives; not men, for flags.
I was experimenting so it is. Maybe next time i figure out simplest method.
Best black armour I've seen
I just add some blue to black paint, it looks more realistic.
Best Ork skin I've seen
thx, i can't paint realistic human face (only thing i can do is white primer and 2xgryphonne sepia wash) but ork's fits me perfect. Tomorrow i can show you my old ork face, painted on white primer.
Looking great dude, consider me subbed, any way you could share how you've done the weathering? My Khador jacks would benefit hugely from it when I get them.
No progres on blorks, i'm painting grey seer on ebay :(
where did you get that model?

Great detail there. Weathering is perfect, I agree with others.
The Chainmail and Rusted plates are a great contrast, and well done.

That black armour is absolutely wonderful. What paints did you use to get such a matte black look to it?
