I am still kinda lame on the pic taken but getting better I think.

Was trying to not make them all the same green. I will make my next batch even more different in color.
I know I still got to do the bases but I was just happy to finish this part.

Yea the pics a bit bad but you can still tell they look pretty good. As always nice job man

I love your style! These orks look like they mean business

Is there a "glint" painted in their eyes? If so, what is it? Also, I really like the skin, what did you paint it with?

The skin-tone is very nice, and the metal effect works well. The assorted skin-tones adds a nice element.

Personally, I like my nobs to be a bit flashier, wear some bright colours.
Do you have a klan in mind? Is that a crossed-axe BloodAxe banna? If so, some garish camouflage always works
Yellow Bad Moonz, Red Evil Sunz, Blue DeffSkulls, even Black Goffs use chequered patterns.

I just put a small spot of white on the red in their eyes.

Just about every green I have. I mixed the layering up so that each one had a different green color to them.

It is hard to tell but the pants are a blue camo. Maybe you can see it a bit better here.




And that hole in his back is not REALLY THERE.

You see nothing....

I am sensing some kind of jedi magic being used here.

Well, stinky 'umie-luvin' gitz don't wanna wear proppa colours, eh?

Yeah, that shows off his colours better
Even if'n dey not proppa colours

Lookin' good! lets see some more!

So nice and metally and dirty. Good job.

The Powerclaw one on the right has a lot of character- Good positioning. It's like he's saying come get some

Well, I am pretty new and I was reading that a horde army is actually a large gathering of several different clans loosely coming together . So I have decided to take small groups of my troops and paint them in different color and different types of camo. This is just my first group.

If I am missing something just let me now and I shall show you why I am Da' Big Mech and in control of this rabble of orcs.

It's all good
BloodAxes do tend to wear an Orky version of camo, rather than klan-based colours ('cus they're 'umie-luvin'-gitz, and learn all dat hidin' and sneekin' and taktikcs and washin' and other non-orky stuff )

Keep 'em coming! Always good to see more greenskins!
You looted any rhino's yet? It'll be good to see what you can do with them, Mr Big Mech

Props on these. They do look good. Thanks for sharing, and looking forward to more Ork Pics in the future.

Uhm...yup. I tried to use one to make my first trukk and it turned into a BW that had almost nothing left on it of the rhino.

theyre mean looking

Thanks for the comments folks.

If you are looking to experiment with different green effects i used a thin yellow wash on mine to make my Orc models look different

Been away for a bit but I am back for awhile.

I was reading on comments of my original pics that I needed to work on the bases. I did just that and here they are all finished up.
