Here's my technique for Goffs, and it looks pretty good for just a little more effort.

1.) Prime black
2.) Do a light drybrush of a medium grey.
3.) Pick out some armor plates and do in Boltgun Metal or equivalent.
4.) Wash with black wash.
5.) Now paint the skin with my usual recipe (orkhide shade, knarloc green, a tiny touch of goblin green, wash of thraka green), and pick out leg wrappings and such with a beige. There's more to it bur that's the crux. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496483/5111312.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496483/5111312.page GMT re-priming Orks? GW primer and use 1$ black paint from Walmart... no issues yet, other than dont paint when its 110 F in AZ otherwise it flash dries as you spray. Just read the labels if your not sure. The only paint ive had issues with was a gloss color... luckily it was not on a mini.

GL and paint da boyz!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496483/5113426.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496483/5113426.page GMT Re:re-priming Orks?

White primer
black wash (clothing is done
black wash boots (boots are done
Green wash skin
highlight skin (skin complete)
pick metal bits
rust

Doing it this way, allows the clothing to actually HAVE detail still, where as the black primer is solid black, the details are completely lost in it]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496483/5115253.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496483/5115253.page GMT re-priming Orks?
What made me dislike it is if i am building it before painting (i.e. any scratchbuild or units i need to be able to field faster than i can paint) it makes it even harder to get rid of the unpainted patches. The chests on most of my boyz i painted white sticks out like a sore thumb so i got sick of it and ripped their supporting shooty arm off so i could paint the damn thing lol.

I am using my white primer i have left on any further boyz, but i refuse to fully construct them now. So i field headless, 1armed shooty boyz if i dont have enough painted ones lol

EDIT: For the record, my boyz once that white chest was dealt with look exactly the same if not better than my black primed ones (i say better because practice makes perfect!). the end project shouldnt be effected by the primer unless you are using very thin paints so the primer isnt totally blocked off.
Primer doesnt need to completely coat the model, most of mine have a lot of grey spots i didnt bother with because it still has a splatter of primer which is all i needed. Its there to provide some teeth for the paint, not alter its outcome.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496483/5116448.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496483/5116448.page GMT Re:re-priming Orks? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496483/5116471.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496483/5116471.page GMT
