this, ladz, is how bigzo gets his ladz ready for fight:

1. undercoat you models WHITE

2. then, you paint the arms with a wash of thraka green , if you wish 2.

3. then you paint the armour any colour brown (just what you like)

4. detailing! eyes tooth and stuff

this is a great way of batch painting orks!
i learned it from a guy from GW

Or, undercoat it white. Paint metal mithril silver. Wash it all black. Was the skin grin. Wash the boots and leather devlan mud, cloth gryphonne sepia. Paint eyes, teeth and claws.

you can also do it like thaat...

Washing is your friend with Orks

that's just right!

Rather fuzzy photo aside, that's a nice looking Ork warboss bigzo, I particularly like the leather look clothes.
Been a few examples of people using a white undercoat and washes for their orks here on Dakka, not the method I use, but great looking minis without a lot of fuss

Buahaha.

Photos are so awesome, that I can't see the mini.

How have you been doing your orks Boyz "R" Us ? i just double checked and you posted in my tutorial the other day.

I have a tutorial in my sig that i use for my orks, i undercoat my miniature black though because i like the darker looking orks

im sure your model looks better without the fuzzy photos does your camera have a macro option?

And just washing doesn't let the white shine through too much? Have to test this out on a few then.

Yes I enjoyed your tutorial and was interested to see the use of washes over a light base coat for ork skin
Thank you for your interest Brother Tobias, I'll get some photos done this weekend and start my "Ohh no! not more Bad Moons?" P&M Blog, hope you'll take a look I'm actually trying to use a PS2 Eye Toy to take the photos, but need really bright daylight to do so.

Ohh and sorry for hijacking your thread warboss bigzo

As others have mentioned the photos really don't do the model/tutorial justice when i'm sure it is actually pretty good. Try and update with some better pics!

@jaxnfury

yes, well i don't even have camera,
the pics are made with the webcam of my laptop...

but i already pay myself to death by some kind of miniatures...

It sucks all you have is the laptop camera. Dont you know someone you can borrow a camera from even for a few minutes? Because I can see the skin looks pretty good but everything else is a wash out.
