A trio of old Ork Boyz that a picked up second hand a whole ago. There’s a lot to love in the relative simple sculpts that are quite characterful, but also an easy paint.

Thanks very much. My green-skin method is not one I’d use if I wanted a horde painted in a hurry, but it’s fine for a handful of models.

If you’re interested, this is the recipe:
Base coat of Vallejo Model Colour Flat Green.
Washed with a 1:1 mix of Vallejo Blue and Red washes.
Back in with Flat Green for initial highlights, and then a succession of layers.
First is a 1:3 mix of Two Thin Coats Ethereal Green and Flat Green.
Then a 3:1 mix of the same two paints. Final highlights are a 1:1 mix of Ethereal Green and Vallejo Game Colour Sunburst Yellow.
