A little while ago, I painted an Ork Warboss with orange skin to see what the model would look like. Now I think I'm going to take the leap and start making the list. I think I am going to have a lot of Nobz in this army, just to make them look meaner and bigger. There is also going to be a heavy desert theme to this army, lots of sand blasted vehicles and armor.
What do you think?
I think it looks great. There's a lot of depth and contrast in the skin, and the metallics don't overwhelm it. Very cool, I say do it
Those who know don't care any more, and those who care don't know.
The squig seems orange, but the ork seems reddish? Maybe a profile picture in better lighting would showoff the effect you created?

Could use another vomit (or whats it called these days) brown highlight.

looking good tho
Here are some better pictures:
There is no Vomit Brown on this model. The skin was based with Dark Flesh and then blended up all to way pure Blazing Orange. If I remember correctly there are about 6 layers in that skin. The idea for this ork army, was to have no blues or greens of an kind in the army. I think the second Warboss' Squig will be bright red or maybe purple, haven't decided. This Warboss' Squig is nicknamed "banana", by my 7 year old son.
I think he looks good (and I personally always enjoy seeing non-green orcs)!
While that first image did look a lot more reddish, I think the later better-lit image definitely shows him to be more of a red-orange or even kind of terra cotta color. Anyways I like it, especially for some desert orcs, and I think a whole army painted up that way would look great.
The great thing about the dwarves is that, even though there's this comic element, when they fight - they really fight!
aha thats better pic's really nice work
Thanks a lot! Now to pick up a box of Nobz and get to work on them.
2nd set of pictures are much better! I like it. Great colour. The metal looks rather bright though and too un-orkyYou need some rust and weathering!
Keep it up, they look wicked
