http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net 40K after a 10 year hiatus. I always played orks before... my bro was eldar and my buddy was marines and at the time that was about the only other option. Anyway I digress. I am envisioning a band of orks that is more in the "Lord of the rings" flesh tones, black/brown with a touch of olive. But nothing like the standard green green. Does anyone out there have examples(pics) of this already?

Also it's been a while since I have been in the scene, so would I be committing some kind of treasonous act by using this skin tone that would be grounds for hanging by the neck until dead(I know how passionate about standards some people get)?

Ive seen every color ork. Blue, red, green, purple, you name it. Any type of green is acceptable, not to mention other wierd colors. If you can imagine a color, you can paint your guys that way. Its Sci-Fi, remember?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/307037/1770991.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/307037/1770991.page GMT
I am not opposed to mixing my own color, in fact I actually prefer doing that. It ensures that only the few figures being painted get that skin color, and breaks up the monotony of having an army with all one skin tone. The only problem is you have to pretty much finish what you start since you cant just crack a stock can of paint.

As for the paint thing; are you using like normal house paint?
Personally, I'd stick to model paints. Find some Vallejo paints (chaosorc.com has them), they come in little squeezebottles that are convenient to use, and you don't need a whole gallon of it. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/307037/1771193.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/307037/1771193.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/307037/1771244.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/307037/1771244.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/307037/1771307.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/307037/1771307.page GMT
