You should invest in some ink both look like they're using this special tooth paste which grants you whiter than white teeth.

lol yea I noticed that Im am actually in the process of learing to use Inks. Ill put up pics when its done!

Looks pretty good so far!
I use a lot of ink washes in my stuff, but also washes from just watered down paint...
Like, a dab of paint and some splashes of clean water on a painting palette/tile (or, as I've started to use, an upturned useless CD, like the ones you get for internet in junkmail? Makes a good painting palette!) and use it to shade your preferred areas.

Yeah - not to be a prick but I think you'd really benefit from dipping. (see a gajillion other threads)

The only other thing I'd mention is that after you ink/dip your dudes, I'd reccomend possibly adding yellow irises to their eyes, because it's not nearly as hard as doing human eyes and really brings them to life.

hmmm do ya have a pic of this "irises"? cause I dont know what ya mean but Ill look into dipping n such!

The iris is part of the eye.
You have the white part, then you have the colorful part (the iris), then you have the black dot (the pupil)



The yellow iris

aw ok thats doesnt look to hard and I dont have to repaint it Ill jus add a dot of yellow then a dot of black! Thanks Ill try that out and see how it goes! thanks for the pic!

I wouln't put an iris into in Ork eye. just paint it white and then red, so you get a nice glowing effect, (besides, it kinda makes them look like Admiral Thrawn)(a bit)

the grand admiral approves of this thread.

I don't bother with irises a lot of the time. Soldiers with a deep wash in the recesses
and some kind of highlight will look like they have eyes.

I think I like the white red idea more give it more ofa deamon look! Ima repaint them and put up some pics thanks for the ideas guys!

yeah niceley painted though... its a standard warboss which is not orky

Irises really add a lot to a model IMO. If you use a dark color, you need not even bother with the pupil.

Flesh wash the recesses, paint white, and carefully place a small spot for the iris. For shielded helmet eyes, I use Blood Red fading into Blazing Orange with a small slash of Skull White, all covered in a lite Red Ink wash.

Here are some of mine, along with an example of "Helmet Eyes".

 

Wanna becareful of the "holy shiite" eyes.
The terrored eyes where you can see the whole iris.

Yea, he turned out not quite how I expected.
