Hopefully this is the right channel to post this in.

I just purchased AoBR and will be starting an Ork army. I previously painted up some Chaos marines and a few odd Fantasy figures before, all primed black.

My question is, for a beginner who wants to paint up an Ork army, is there any benefit to priming white and using green washes, versus priming black and using goblin green, dark angel green, etc? Aside from the obvious personal preference of "lighter bolder colors" ? Just wondering. I was hoping to make the colors stand out, but wasn't sure if I had to only use washes on white primer, or if I could prime white and use basic drybrush techniques.

Any input would definitely be appreciated as I've watched some tutorials on both.

Thanks!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/313459/1869965.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/313459/1869965.page GMT Beginner question on priming Orks
Most equipment and gear on an ork is a shade of brown.

Basing them in that color then adding the details using foundation paints and other colors will quickly develop the orks along.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/313459/1869970.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/313459/1869970.page GMT Re:Beginner question on priming Orks http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/313459/1869999.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/313459/1869999.page GMT Re:Beginner question on priming Orks
I actually never thought of priming brown. I might just do that. I have always done black or gray. I think I will stay away from the white primer now. heh.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/313459/1870144.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/313459/1870144.page GMT Beginner question on priming Orks

oadie wrote:I prime black. All of the skin gets completely covered in foundation paint, then multiple coats of highlights and a wash or two, so with a sufficient number of coats, the undercoat color becomes more or less irrelevant. Using white+washes is a shortcut to getting acceptable tabletop results quickly - I'd be surprised if you could make them look good.


*ahem*
