Right.

Recently I've been trying to decide between Orcs and Goblins or Warriors of Chaos for a new fantasy army, and in the end it all comes down to which is easier and more fun to paint. So seeing s Chaos warriors are just armored soldiers that I can pretty much paint as I see fit, does anyone have any tips and tricks to make painting Orcs and Goblins quick easy and fun?

Tbh I'd love Orcs to win my vote here...I can get the book, 20 goblins, a dragon to convert and an old metal giant for just £15...so yeah

Thanks in advance for anything you guys and girls tell me,

Not bad...but I prefer a more green look to my oecs...that and black orcs are the darkest green possible :/

Sorry if this is not allowed, I don't know, but The Waaagh http://www.the-waaagh.com/forums/ Is a forum just for orks fantasy and 40k. There are lots of good, varied, painting tuts for orks there.

Also "- if you need a good method for painting ork skin, head over to cattatafishs tutorials (MrMerlin)"

Haha, someone quoted me

Cattafishs tut in question:

though that takes a while to accomplish.... For quick skin I suggest a green wash over a mix of green and yellow. Looks great!
