G'day Dakka!

Here is a test for my upcoming Ork army that I'm putting together from "rescued" models from ebay and local sources. Thoughts / comments / feedback appreciated. Too much weathering? Skin ok? Yellows too dirty / too bright? Be brutal, like an ork!

The banner looks great, the only potential problem I see is that it's kind of the focal point for the whole model. There's not a lot of tonal difference between the Ork's skin, armour, and clothes so it all just blends together as a mass of colour with nothing in particular to draw the eye.

Yea, hungry has a point there, you need a contrasting colour in there, like where there's black replace it with a lighter colour.

Thanks for the reply. I can kind of see what you are saying....

This guy model is probably all about the banner... so that is what should draw you about it... I admit the lighting on the front is inadequate and darkens most of it.
Any suggestions on the weathering, skin or armour?

Not sure how to contrast it... the yellow contrasts to the darker brown/black/green colours. What other lighter colour would you suggest? Bit of Reddy-Orange colour?
