If you like to paint, get this model (even if you don't have orks). The sculptor gave it lots of personality and it was probably the most fun I've had painting so far (haven't been at this very long). Looking at the pictures I've noticed a few details I missed but its finished for the most part. Here is my attempt at Snikrot:

Looks good , I like your green skin something different nice and bright

Wow! Well done on the paint. He does look like fun. Think I'll take the advice and pick him up tomorrow. (like I don't already have enough things to paint lol). I think he'd be a fun model to paint when I need a break from my chaos in the near future.

I don't see anything missed but maybe you are thinking like me when I finish models. "I should have added an extra step to that highlight". Again, looks geat!

Nicely done,only wish I had cash to buy him!

That skin is fantastic, i however feel the face is alittle dull, but thats just me. Great job overall

I won this mini at a recent tourney (best peer-voted army comp) and I don't play (NEVER have) orks.

Nice to see what the shiny lunk is supposed to look like.

I'll possibly paint him up with some 'blackout' on as well (streaks perhaps).

Kudos on the skin and light effect.
I frankly don't think like you have been into painting such a short time, really.

Great work.

i love it Great work.

Wonderful. However, while I'm a fan of the 'cartoony green' Ork skin, it doesn't scream Kommando to me. Maybe darken him down a bit? Some greenstuff leaves maybe?

I frankly don't think like you have been into painting such a short time, really.

I've been painting for about a year and a half, so I have painted for a little while but not as much as most of the guys I play w

Some greenstuff leaves maybe?

Great idea. Sadly I suck at using greenstuff and only use it to fill in gaps

Man that skin is Great! Could your share the colors?

Very good, this is the only ork "character" I haven't even started besdies a basecoat, as I have had no idea how paint him up...

I really enjoy the skin color, do you mind sharing what colors/washes you used?

:( snikrot needs a red skull painted on his face...

Very nice. Well painted, the camera I think is not doing the figure justice. Seems it might have split your highlights too much. I wager it looks even better up close and in person.

i agree i really like the "splinter cell" look for him but wish they would have gave an extra bare head as an option

Wow that is great. I really love the brown texturing and the metal buckles look great.

Here is my color choice for the skin (pretty much what I use for all my orks):

Orkhide Shade
Knarloc Green
Thraka Green Wash
Goblin Green
Rotting Flesh

( I also used some scab red under the rotting flesh highlight on the knuckles and ears)

The colour choices are very good.
The skin really pops while the accessories stay in the background.

Nice! my friend picked him up the other day but hasn't painted him yet as far as I know

Great job!

His skin gives me the pasty 'been fighting in the dark my whole life' kinda feel that Snikrot is supposed to have. It came out great and you have given me some inspiration on what I'm going to do with mine. Was it painted in peaces or put together?

Was it painted in peaces or put together?

It was painted put together but if I had to do it over again, I'd glue the arms on after painting them. I had to do a lot of uncomfortable painting angles to get detail on the skulls and the blood on both sides of the blades. The backback is going to need quite a bit of green stuff to fill in gaps but if I remember correctly the arms fit pretty well.
