<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Ideas for Ork Skin"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Ideas for Ork Skin
I'm trying to get some ideas for how to paint ork skin. I've currently got a basecoat of knarloc green over the skin areas, but other than washing with devlan mud I'm not sure how to really go from there. Any pics of various techniques with colours used or even just tips on how to make the skin really stand out would be awesome.

Cheers.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/450834/4304810.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/450834/4304810.page GMT Ideas for Ork Skin

I simply sprayed them skull white then applied two coats of Thrakka green wash ove that. You can leave it at that, or add highlights as you desire.

...Except that Thraka Green is now out of production, and I'm halfway through my current (and only) pot. Damn.
Is there a suitable substitute for Thraka Green out there? Does Biel-Tan Green come close?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/450834/4311756.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/450834/4311756.page GMT Re:Ideas for Ork Skin http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/450834/4312519.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/450834/4312519.page GMT Re:Ideas for Ork Skin

Knarloc Green base, Goblin Green highlight then a wash with Vallejo game colour sepia.

Like so:

with my method, adding a sepia wash or a brown wash will also help to make them look more realistic and less cartoonish]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/450834/4316566.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/450834/4316566.page GMT Ideas for Ork Skin

Thanks for the kind words. I actually need better pictures of the individual ones so you can take a look at the skin.
Your suggestion about the glaze also reminded me of the tutorial from wargames consortium using freak flex transparent paint: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6yA4IWZNxc]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/450834/4316782.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/450834/4316782.page GMT Re:Ideas for Ork Skin
