Ok so I made the bold decision with my Orks that Im going to be a bit Orky and paint all my vehicles CHROME. Yes... chrome. I already painted my looted wagon and a deff dred chrome. It looks pretty cool except now that its super polished looking... its not very ORKY. Even the dam dred looks non orky lol.
SO I need you super painter people to help me think of some colors to tone down all that chrome. I was thinking of painting my Orks in a deserty/desert camo type scheme.
SO WITH THAT IN MIND! please fellow dakkites! I need to Orky-fy my chromeness

ALSO one more thing, I dont want to cover up all the chrome. I figure Orks like "shoiny tings" so I was wanting alot of shine to show

@KC im not sure if you like the look for my dred , but its very similar to chrome too.

But basically i gave mine a light black wash, and re apply with more concentrated wash on some areas.

The leg and the arm part are more chrome colored.

hmm well I wasnt really thinking of doing bad moons really... but shoot it WOULD make sence how they bought all that chrome. I could be ultramarines lame and say its platinum!
Luna I like your dred. And it gave me a few ideas for mine. I never honestly thought about doing a wash on there. I think Ive got a good clear idea now. Ill do the ol rusty rivets/stuck together section streaks... and wash some spots down to make it look worn and yucky.
Awesome thanks everyone!

I cannot recommend getting a Bad Moon tattooed on your chin!
1) The pain!
2) The constantly having to explain to people that it is not egg on your face, but a toy-soldier tattoo!



Apart from that, Bad Moons FTW! Waaagh!

You sir made me laugh. I knew a fella that had a flame tattooed on on lower jaw line. It seriously looked like he had a beard..... crazy.
WELL so far Ive painted some yellow and black squares and triangular patterns on some of the boomgun and it looks pretty good. Tomorrow Im buying a bunch of paint for my bday, so Ill see how the rust/wash/painting goes from there

And I meant that old school version that had a cool face in it

Devlan mud works brilliantly on metallics,giving a dulled

Yea first off its not metallics.... ITS BLOODY CHROME! I dont think most of you guys are catching that lol.
I decided not to go with bad moonz. I painted some of me boyz up like them and it just didnt feel right. I like CC WAY to much to pass off as bad moonz. I ended up making the tank look pretty rusted up but it still shows alot of chrome. As of right now I really like the end result. Byt this weekend I should have my boss, nobz squad and this tank finished. So Ill take pics then and post them.. then.

It may be a lot of trouble now but could you make the vehicles look as if most of the paint has worn away (with paint still clinging to the low and unexposed areas) kind of like dozer blades or old military vehicles? Just a thought.

I dunno, a chrome Deff Dred with rust in the low places sounds pretty orky to me.
