Little experimental diorama I made. Tzeentch's cultist Ork tribe, gifted with warp energy and a vampiric battle lust.
(This is a video that better displays the glowing effect, currently set to do a rainbow pattern and colourswirl, but I think I will go with a fadeInOut style with a purple as the finished effect, I like to fade to nothing so that you get to see the base in its natural colours, as the LEDs affect the painted colours).

Thanks, very pleased with it overall. I was testing out a few different painting techniques I havent tried. I really enjoyed doing the skin on the orks, usually my typical is; spray base whole model yellow, wash skin green, job done. But I used underpainting and then used glazing to do the blues, pinks and yellows (which on top of blue and pink turned into some greeny tints). Few areas I know I didnt finish such as eyes, but I wanted it done so I could test out the glow effect. Still cant decide what light pattern is most effective, fast fading to a purple looks pretty badass tbh.

I sprayed them base black, then I sprayed from above the head at up to 60 degrees using a light sandy colour, then directly above using white. This created a load of shadows and highlights.
With that I then used airbrush paints (but i brush painted them on) and glaze medium to make glazes of a electric blue and a vibrant pink, I glazed onto the skin basically a little randomly (as in i didnt always use blue at the top of the muscle and pink at the bottom, i varied it up), I followed the muscle shapes a little.
So after the first glaze, i had blue and pink areas of skin already with some shadowing from the undercoats, where the undercoat was still really dark i glazed more layers, as some areas were basically black
Then i used a yellow glaze and applied that over some of the blue and pink, i focused on the areas where the colours met. what this did was turned the blue into greenish and the pink into a slightly more orange
finally i washed a little into the recesses with a druchi violet
If im being honest I dont think the underpainting did too much for me, some areas it worked, others it didnt. I think next time I could get away with; spray base a mid tone, wash with something like agrax, drybrush light colour to bring out highlights/details. Then glaze. Instead of using 3 spray cans to undercoat. Skin wise up close you can see its patchy, but from a tabletop distance the colours look quite good. I also didnt use the yellow glaze on one of them as i preferred the pink/blue. If you would like i can post some close-ups to show you the difference.
