why thank you sir!

The morkanaut is nearly finished just waiting for some basing supplies I'm going to add to detail to all of there bases as I think there looking pretty plain right now, toxic puddles and dead grass!
I am going to build another 20 boys and a truk, after that its all armour and big guns.

I have settled on a name for the boyz also ....... The Orkum militarum.

Great skin tones, and I'll echo a few other users, a tad of highlighting on the yellow will go a long way, but everything looking good so far

Completely forgot to highlight the yellow, any yellow in particular?

Looks sweet!

Grukk and his Nobz' shoulder pads from page one. Yellow really benefits from subtle highlights

The first knobz need weathering properly as Well I don't know if you noticed or not but as the pictures go on more and more techniques and effects are used I'm going to revisit gruk and his knobs after the morka/boyz/truk.
My basing supplies have still not arrived so I'll have a go at him today I will 3rd upload him with his extra techniques.

Nice skin, but not a big fan of your yellow, i am more into the same yellow as gw models.

nice lookin' mob you've got going here mate

...love how vibrantly green the skin is, while still somehow looking quite natural, and not at all too cartoony, nice work there!

...the yellow looks like it needs something, though I'm struggling to put my finger on it...I don't want to say highlighting though, as I don't go for the neat, highlighted look for orky yellow myself...for mine, I tend to start with a nice bright yellow (couple coats of averland, topped with 3+ layers of yriel), and then dirty it down a bunch with my homebrew black and brown washes...then go around all the panel edges and rivets with scratches/chipping (heavy dark brown stippling, topped with silver stippling, leaving a touch of the dark brown visible around the edges)...kinda "framing" the yellow panels with chipping.

looking forward to seeing how you get on with the 'naut!

...haha...I probably shouldn't have come here actually...now I feel like painting orks again ...it's been a few months now since I last painted an ork...been busy working on nurgle stuff (probably inspired by the new deathguard I guess), and starting to do a bit more on my salamanders, because my brother's nagging me to play 30k

I have "edge highlighted" gruk and weatherd him Ive started using the exact colours you your self use for chipping, how ever I sponge and don't stipple GW no longer do stippling brushes :O watch this space for his new improved look.

get the orks out bro for the waagghhhh there lethal in 8th

The new and improved gruk edge highlighted the yellow and added some chipping to his shoulders I struggled getting the sponge in there with the back pack attached, I would of like to add more but here you go.

I think your referring to the Bad Moons which GW paint most of there ork stuff, and the exact colour is Flash Gitz yellow.

Here he is I could improve on him but I'm running out of time and my wife has just bought me some megaknobz for father's day, they are going to ride inside the gorkanaut like little baby Gorkanauts ready to burst out and rip the enemy apart.

Love the skin on the boyz! I've also just bought myself a Gorkanaut so pretty keen to paint it up. Love the paintjob of yours, however I'd probably make the metal parts, especially the gun and the klaw a bit dirtier. Nothing wrong with it no, may have recently been put together in da workshop but just a thought. Keep up the good work >

Your absoloutly right I was thinking the same thing I did not do it because there's already 30-40 hours in him I lost track and wanted to move on, I'm going to revisit him and throw some rust and oil on em.

Quick update nearly finished painting another 12 boys.

Love the gorkanaut, excellent work
