I just painted one of my orks.Caliban green followed by WAAAGH!flesh.But how do I paint my nobs?Caliban green on its own would be to flat and adding waagh flesh would make dem look weaker.What can I do?
Greens I have
Death world forest
Goblin green
Waaagh flesh
Caliban green.

Have you tried just adding some caliban to the waagh to make it darker?

good idea.

No problem, hope it works for you.

To darken my older/bigger/'arder Orks, I add touches of an appropriately light or dark brown to the greens. Scorched Brown to Orkhide Shade, Graveyard Earth to Goblin Green, etc. (old colors, I know, but that's what I'm still using). Makes them darker and more menacing without having to shift your whole palette down or risk losing contrast.

This is a good suggestion as is actually working from a dark brown or even a red before applying the green.
