I need an easy way to paint ork skin anyone have any good tips?

p.s. I only use the GW paints

Goblin Green and then Badab Black wash. Or a Thraka Green wash. Whichever one you like most.

goblin green and thraka wash is the best combo i have found in a long time. it makes your army look so much better in so little time. if you then add a devlan mud wash it makes them look really worn and dirty as well

Here's Goblin Green with Thrakka Green wash:

I did that over white primer, and did Devlan Mud on all the clothing, but didn't use Devlan Mud on the skin. I like my green to be a little more vibrant. Since tougher Orks are supposed to have darker skin, I used Snot Green for my Nobz and Dark Angels Green for my Warboss.

Thanks guys this helps a lot.

can you post a picture of your orks with the mud wash? i cant decide if i want to add that or just go with the goblin, then thrakka.

For mine I do the following

Dark Angel green
Badab wash
Snot Green
Highlight Goblin Green

Sorry for the crap photos they are the only ones I could find.
