http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net I'll give a quick example of how i do it and then any advice or comments would be greatly appreciated

Btw I'm an ork player

for skin i start with

A Base coat of Waagh Flesh
Then wash Beil-Tan Green
Then Drybrush / highlight with Moot Green

My question here is, I also have a pot of Waywatcher green wash that i have tried applying over the moot green. I feel like it adds a little something but i'm not entirely sure. Is this a wasted wash / step?

and to dull down the clan colors on all my orks clothing i use an earthshade wash. It gives them i real muddy / dirty look. AAny other suggestions how i can improve on that affect? maybe a more realistic or efficient technique?

Thanks all!

Also I prefer orky weapons to be heavily rusty. Start with a very dark brown then a dark reddy-brown. Stipple with orange or use that new GW technical rust effect stuff (not used it myself as I use weathering powders but you can try them further on down the line). Finally add a few light highlights of silver where wear would occur.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/581464/6570052.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/581464/6570052.page GMT GW .. works great!

for weapons i use leadbelcher as a base .. then i wash with Sepia .. and then dry brush rust

i will also try your technique next time

Thanks Bubber!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/581464/6570175.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/581464/6570175.page GMT Concerning the waywatcher green: This is a Glaze and not, like e.g. Earthshade, a Shade. Basically what it does is, it makes the skin look 'greener' instead of shading the recesses. I haven't really tried it myself on skin painted the way you do it, but I know what you mean – it adds something to the model. It would help if you post a picture, though. I always love to see how Ork players paint skin.
Hope this helps! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/581464/6570321.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/581464/6570321.page GMT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/581464/6570709.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/581464/6570709.page GMT
