How to Paint Orks

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Start on the skin by base coating it an "Orkhide" shade.

   Apply it liberally to the skin of the model. , The paint should be the consistency of melted butter. , Apply to the arms and face liberally, but don't paint in the reassesses of the orks arm, or face.
   
   The darkness in reassesses adds depth to the model. , Make sure to leave an outline of the last coat so the green blends and transitions well. , Apply to the very tops of muscle and curves in the orks skin.
   
   Tip:

   It requires a steady hand, but it's worth it. , Apply to the very highest highlights, ie. on the edges of lips, eyebrows, and on the highlights of the muscles.
