Hi, My name is Tom and I'm new to the forum. I used to do Warhammer back when i was about 15 but I haven't touched it in about 7 years. I recently decided to start doing it again and I aspire to be as good as I possibly can at modeling and painting my Orks. I've stripped and re-painted a couple of boyz I made when I was 15 and painted them up as best as I can and I'm pretty happy with them considering they are my first try's in 7 years! I have defiantly improved a lot already But I would like to get them to a very high professional standard so I'm looking for people to give me feedback and tell me how I could improve?

I'm looking forward to your comments, thanks guys.

They look better, but I think IMO if you want to put a lot of time into boys you should do very dark green skin with a couple bright green highlights that contrast it-looks striking that way.

i think their great, nice highlighting, tho id practice a bit more with more values, darker darks and lighter lights, but great work overall! especially checkers look sweet
