This is going to be the color scheme of my ork army .. except i am going to do the highlander theme with them just havent decided on blue piant for the tatoos or red give me your opinion if you dont mind

Red pants -> red tatoos IMHO
Very good paintjob btw, though adding one more green wash on skin will make it even better

I would not add another wash looks great just the way it is. I am not a fan of red eyes on Orcs but each to their own. Great way to start an army, clean crisp model, hope the rest of the army follows suit. Enjoy it

oh yeah sorry tattoos. I would go for blue because you already have a good amount of red. Add red tattoos and they are going to be hard to see. Blue will stand out, nicely. Don't go OTT with them though

also sorry forgot to mention, nice chequerboarding on the axe, nice touch.

Yeah you want blue tattoos particularly if you are wanting to copy Highlander woad tattoos. Nice job so far!

Thanks you guys .. ya to much washing and you loose the smooth clean highlights and they will look dirty.. And yes i am going to go with the blue and not to much just a little face warpaint on each the eyes were experimental and i think im going to change them .. Ill post more pics soon

Awesome painting job you got so far, extremtly clean and well blended. Highlander orks are certainly an army that i'd like to see. Orks in kilts... brilliant!

I'd have to cast my vote for blue paint.

Very nice. I have to vote for blue tattoos as well.

Nice skin tone, I've always favored this mottled green color over the brighter green usually associated with orks. If I may, what colors did you use?

IMO go for red tattoos. As luke said don't go over the top, just have small/simple red tattoos that stand out. Blue could clash with your theme.

Hey Shooms ill get the paint pallett together for you on the green . Im not a fan of the cartoon green either orks are nasty evil verman i love the dulled down olive type of green with the subtle highlights ..

I love the smooth skin tone definatly no more washing.

You did a good job with the brushed metal look. Very DAKKA!!

Blue tattoos, personal opinion. Love the orks.
