My first green Orks are completed; this Ork Kill Team is a gift for a friend’s 40th. So expect to see them fighting it out against my Veteran Guardsmen Kill Team soon.

Greenskin Paint Scheme

I used this Ork recipe from Vincent.

• Raven Black spray can from Colour Forge from below the model.
• Then, spray white from above the model.
• Gutrippa Flesh contrast paint was applied twice or sometimes thrice.
• Biel-tan wash.
• Orruk Flesh highlights blended with Biel-tan.
• Krieg Khaki highlights.

I then did a bit of Kislev Flesh and Bugman’s Glow around the mouth and ears. Eyes are red with a tiny yellow or orange dot. You can see the process in this Instagram Reel.

The zenithal highlight using the sprays does help. I was unsure of doing it, but I did based on the wise council of The Unrelenting Brush. They mainly work with the initial layers of Gutrippa Flesh contrast paint. The white gives just enough of a hint of light to show through and is then used as a guide on the highlighting stage.

The images below show this process, but then I…

Gutrippa Flesh was applied twice, then Biel-tan wash, Orruk Flesh highlight, and Krieg Khaki highlight.

I pushed it further by using Carroburg Crimson Shade to give it more redness/pinkness and then Druchii Violet to give it purpleness. I also revised the teeth with Screaming Skull and a sepia wash.

Red Squig Process

I completely made up this model’s painting process as I went along…

• Sanguine Red spray can from Colour Forge from below the model.
• Then, spray white from above the model.
• A layer of Evil Sunz Red was then applied all over.
• Fire Dragon Bright and Evil Sunz Red were then glazed and stippled from the top to the bottom.
• Druchii Violet and Evil Sunz Red were applied to the lower areas.
• I then did the last two steps, again and again, to blend them all.
• Carroburg Crimson wash all over.
• Highlight with the orange.

Other Processes

• All the hazards were done freehand using Corvus Black, Flash Gitz Yellow, and a Seraphim Sepia wash.
• All the reds were done in Evil Sunz Red with a Nuln Oil wash then red highlight and Fire Dragon Bright highlights.
• The clothing was all Zandri Dust or Steel Legion Drab with Agrax Earthshade wash.
• Like the bloody-bladed Ork, any white clothing was Vallejo white with a Fenrisian Grey wash.
• All the metallics are Leadbelcher with a Nuln Oil wash and then Stormhost Silver highlights.

Martian Basing

These are the same as my Iron Warrior bases. I chose this base type because the red contrasts nicely with the models’ black.

• Sprayed black, Colour Forge Raven Black
• Doombull Brown base coat over the black
• Reikland Fleshshade wash
• Dry brush with Tuskgor Fur
• Dry brush with Ushabti Bone
• Dark red/rust pigment

The basing got an article of its own, Iron Warriors Martian Bases.

These are some WIP photos and then mainly completed photos as I completed one Ork at a time over about two months.
