Anybody have any tip top examples of red, blue, purple, etc. skinned Orks? Please post them here...

Well, here is a red ork i painted quite a while ago

Not the best paint job, but it gives the gernal idea!
Best way to paint red skin is start off with Gore red base, then give it an asyluum blue wash (spelling?), then blood red highlight (remember to avoid all crevices) Fourthly, add an highlight of blazing orange, and you should be good!
If you want to tone it done, wash with badab black wash after the orange is done.

Why would you want to have Orks that weren't green?

A fresh of breath air painting wise? I havent done any myself but probably as above do something dark/solid, wash/ink, then highlight

Funny you should ask.

I have an IDF-themed guard army. I want to go an Islamic Jihad Ork army. The martyr shrouds are usually green and white, and I want a skin color that'll provide some contrast to the black robes with the green straps and white writing.
