Nice!   Very clean (the paintjob, not the ork).   I like it a lot.

Can I ask how you painted the skin?   I'm struggling to work out how to paint mine...

I start by mixing some Knarlog Green with Mordian Blue to get a very dark Green almost Blue undercoat.
I then use a wash of Thraka green.
I dry Brush with Goblin green
Then i mix goblin Green with Sunburst Yellow and dry brush again but only adding to the highest areas.
Then ass above but i add a little white as well.

i never measure the mix of colour infact i try to do it a little diffrent every time so there skin is allways a slightly differnt shade.

very nice skin I might have to give that a try I have never used white but I do use bleach bone on the highest parts of the faces and it looks wonderful.

never thought of using blue but the results are very good so will have to try.

Hey disschord!

What colour did you use for the backpack "leather" holding the Mek's toolz?  I like the earthy brown colour of it.
