best miniature amry ever

simon aproach (the first i guess)

PS english is not my first language

First one! Simon I think.

The first one looked better, so my vote is for Simon

Painting on camera must be pant wettingly scary – good job folks 🙂

as an alternative for orc skin I like Knarlock Green and highlight with a mix of Knarlock and Gretchin Green and a devlan mud wash … (I like the Foundation range :))

i liked tom’s ork better, although i would have chosen a lighter basecoat for its skin..

Simon’s approach led to a better result, though, only, because Tom did the highlights a little bit to rough. Applying the highlights more carefully (and maybe using a color that is not that bright in contrast to the base color) should give you much better results. In general, base color + highlights + wash should lead to better results than just base color + wash. I guess both competitors suffered from being filmed – so overall, well done 🙂 As Warren said, for real speed painting, why not use a color primer from Armypainter. It works splendid for Orcs, but… Read more »

I would say Simon’s approach is the preferable, but I when I do my SW I paint them with my base color and then wash followed by a light drybrush with almost the same color as the base color, to me that’s the best way to get a good tabletop result.

I liked both models, but for my taste Simon’s was brighter. I work from a white/light undercoat so both of these were interesting to watch. Thanks guys.

i think toms would look good with war paint. the blue would add colour
but simons is better for boys, toms is good for black orcs and warboss’ since they have darker skin

i liked the flesh and base that simon did but the weapons and armour that tom did.

I like Simon’s type of orc best. It looks great and it also takes 15 minutes to paint 10 =). Anywho, can you do the same thing only with the gobbos instead of orcs

Toms would make a great basis for Black orcs but I agree it’s a bit dark for a Savage Orc. So, Simon’s I guess. But, 2 things – one, lets have some more colour, I think brightly coloured clothing on Orcs works really well, and 2, black bases just look unfinished. Otherwise good speed efforts from both, well done. 😉

Have a nice community Idea.
BoW chooses from the community 100 members. Send him/her one plastic orc to be painted by this member. After 1-2 Weeks of painting, the user sends the miniature back. So BoW will have a big army of Orks made by the community.

I know and understand that this is a big administratively an pricey afford. But I would pay for the back sending of the miniature.

Vote for Simon. 🙂

The first one was faster but the second was more defined I also liked the darker ork flesh it would be a good idear to use army painter paint because it has a faster drying time but in the end my favorite was the 2nd paint job great tuteorial thanks guys

hey guys thanks for all the comments ill be posting up some of my models in minirama if you feel like having a gander they will be in the fantasy section i think. also would love more spots on BoW doing proper detailed work as painting is one of my favourite things to do. and the camera does make you nervous lol

I liked Simon’s approach better. Tom was pretty good on camera though and I would watch more from either one.
