So, there some old stuff, dated summer of 2011. Hope it can be new for Dakka.
It was my research for extremly fast nmm.
I look some comics and figure out that i can do some nmm in four or five layers.
These orks base colour is black. For speed nmm like on melee weapon you need 4 layers of color after base black.
First of this layers is dark grey with liitle add of brown. It must be bright enough to look strong different in oppose to black, but not stronger.
Next - middle grey- must be bright enough to be look different to previous level, but not brighter. And so one.
Of course you need some practice in that.
Final highlight can`t be pure white.
You must dillute colors with a lot of water, but not like for blending. Approximately 2 or 2,5 water parts to 1 color part.
Each of layer must have fine looking geometrical shape adapted to sculpt of weapon or other metalic parts,
if you don`t get what i`m talking about just read some comics and pay attention how metalls pictured in them.
Do fast stroking movements. One layer consist of several fast stroking movements that combine in one geometrical highlight.
I don`t give detailed guide because you don` need it (and because i`m lazy too ) You must understand a method.

Skin of orcs began with Scorced Brown+ Snote green. Then Snote green+ Goblin green, then pure goblin green, then goblin green+ yellow, then pure yellow dots or little strokes as final highlight.
I recomend Vallejo Golden Yellow, or zdeep yellow if you want, since they haver more strong covering ability.

These Orks are commission and its 2000km away from me now.

Feel free to ask and comment.

Fantastic. They're very gritty and the metal effects are brilliant. I'm especially fond of the checkered pattern on the Warboss.
