Ork Flesh

Ork Skin Tone

Thought a little guide on painting some muted ork skin might help a few people out. I've found previously when painting Ork skin that they always look a tad too bright; a kind of colour that suits lizardmen better. usually I would just go Dark angels green, and then work my way through the brighter greens in the GW colour range. Whilst this does work for some quicker painting, its a little to cartoonish for me, ork should be worn and dirty, definitely not bright and shiny (in my opinion).

So I worked out this scheme of painting as I went so its not finely tuned yet and you could probably still miss out a layer and get a good effect, but the final result is worth it. So here we go...

The Sanguinor, Exemplar of the Host

Well this is my first guide so I hope that I get a good layout and the images come through well. I spent about 2 days painting this guy on and off, overall Id say with preparation of the model, this model probably took me about 10 hours or so, maybe a little more maybe a little less. I hope you enjoy the guide, and if you have any comments or criticisms they are all appreciated.
