I second the call for wierdboy dreads also, rusty's fine if you read the fluff for madboyz some of its so strange its funny, like bringing a stuffed animal to battle instead of a weapon, or focusing on attacking the nearest model with a random non green color (because even if he's completely and totally crazy all orks love green).

I am trying to figure out if I should green stuff the hood for the weird boy and add dread locks or just the dread locks. Here is how the weird boy is currently.
Front
Right
Left
Back
Here is the basic scheme of my ork boyz. I repainted alot of them. Some of them I left the red paints or random blue shirt for diversity. All are AOBR boyz.
Front
Back
Left
Right
Overhead
On a side note I picked up small drill bits and a drill will hit the barrels up when im done painting them. Ordered a throng of eldar which I will be starting after I finish the orks (thinkin next year at this rate). Hate waiting for the mail
Keep the advice, links, ideas coming please.
-Cheers

For being a newer/ish painter, I dont think your doing a bad job at all. Better then alot of new painters thats for sure. And the vehicles, are just a bitch to get good at painting IMO. I can see the moer things you paint the more in the groove your getting. Im digging your Orks so far mate, keep it up

Too kind and thank you. Yeah I am slowly getting into it more and more. I am not satisfied with how my ork skin tone is yet...or maybe I am not happy with myself not being consistant. The vehicles are a pain in the butt, I thoroughly enjoy your rust vehicles.
The way I do skin is prime black (leaning towards priming white since I am learning it is far easier to darken then to lighten a model), base coat orkhide (green +black), dry brush goblin green + highlight Goblin green + bleached bone. The highlight part is whats killing me i tried just brushing it on the highest point of muscles etc to highlight but either im doing it to thick or just not liking how it looks. So I end up just lightly dry brushing the green + bleached bone as the last layer. I devlan mud wash between the last 2 coats to darken it so the highlights have better effect and I blacken up the creases abit.
I need help I know im doing something wrong.
On a side note that guitarist is amazing but that picture looks like he is about to eat the guitar

All in all the entire group of orks looks great. As a side comment I would perform some additional work on the odd boy add some additional highlights he seems a bit washed out. The rest of the army is looking great! Keep up the great paint job and remember that Red ones go fasta!

Oh and use something to smooth out the hood, nothing looks worse than fingerprints in greenstuff...
Ask and ye shall receive. yeah I realised I washed out the grots so it is still a W.I.P. but here is where is at. I think I am going to copy the face paint off Spirit of Jazz as well.

Yeah I was a nervous of trying to play with GS but man its so much fun. When you start playing with it send me a link to ya blog. Curious to see what ideas I can take...steal....er ....adapt.
My debate right now with the weird boy is do I paint the hood black w/checkers or do I paint it like a rasta like hat?

Chaos Black then highlight codex grey?

Many thanks will have a finished weird boy up in a day or two. The black with codex grey highlight is well..not as good. Gonna try a light purple...debating on shaving and using small fine hairs in the dread locks to give it a more grizzled look.
Happy the face paint worked out good. Initially my hand wasn't shaking and for once was very thin lines...sadly too thin. Of course when I go to freehand the phoenix heads on my eldar wraithlords / guards I am going to give Parkinson patients a run for their money.

1st. That warpaint is amazing, you've done an awesome job!
2nd. Repaint the big eye in another colour, I'd recommend a brighter orange to compliment the red in the other eye. The white of the eye is being lost in the white of the warpaint.
Dude, that thing rocks so effing hard!
This is for j00z!

Haha thank you. Ok Blazing Orange eye ball, Black / Grey hair. I dunno I feel like I screwed something up or missing something. I dunno, I am loving the weird boy though.

Ironically enough I was given a bunch of skulls / head (giggity) from most of my warhammer group. Great idea with the straw. Looks like a got a hobby shop trip tomorrow. Gonna GS a small cauldren on his base with *brews* get some cotton wool to thin out as well to imitate smoke. If I can shape it well will try to get a smoke skull.
Hmm maybe the cauldron with brew could be at the lip of the SAG where the grotling gets sucked in....could be hmm. Dunno just more idea's keep em comin Thanks for all the help so far!
Nah I hear ya, the boyz at most was just gonna have a small token *necklace or ring* thats voodoo esque and face paint. The dreads gonna stay on weirdboy.
Redid my lil Joker ork with more vivid and cleaner colors. Prolly do a squadron of batman character orks. Also finished a Waldo Ork (ie wheres waldo). Fun lil thing my opponent can look for when 200 orks come charging in.
But yeah for the Voodoo theme was gonna designate 30 ork boyz + nob for group / weirdboy and maybe 1-2 more HQ's to join the theme.
