I've decided to make a P&M Blog for my new Ork army to get me motivated and get some tips.
I'm a lazy painter (ie i use just GW paints, don't water them down and don't use washes etc)
I can make models to tabletop standard and that's about it, so peoples comments on simplistic ways of creating certain effects will help alot, as usually I can really tell the different between four coats say; Dark angels, Dark angels 2:1 snot green, dark angels 1:1 snot green, snot green or something and Dark Angels then Snot green.
I'm gonna buy the new foundation blue and green, water them down. and by the washes of green and brown.

Tips on watering down and washes will be imperitive!

So here it goes;

Dipping is the only way to go for lazy painters.

Everyone: No.

I don't want to dip, I'd rather learn and improve every time I paint something! I'll have some pics up before the end of the day, for now here's my army list;

Finally got something done camera wise and got a video and pictures taken. It ended up being the lighting and such messed up the shots though I got an alright quality picture or two!






And here is the video;




Thanks in advance, guys!

They look fine, do you feel the new washes etc help?

Also if you have a macro function on your camera use it: people dont like going into a thread filled with blurry pics, as it is I can barely make out the detail

I haven't actually got round to using the new washes yet, but I'll tell you when I use them!

For the photos find out if your camera has a macro function (looks like a flower icon), take the photos in a brightly lit area preferably lit by natural sunlight. Take the photos on a white background, like a sheet or tablecloth. That way the camera focuses on the minis not the background like in your pics above. And use a tripod if your like me and have hands that shake.
