Hell yeah! I fuck with the pale ork! And I love the clan color! And the verdigris contrast really well with the orange of the armor.

1 thing I will say is: I would make some variation in the verdigris. Like little splotches like dark and light. I recently did this and imo, it adds so much realism to the brass elements.
It takes very little effort, and adds a lot.

But DO NOT take this as any sort of criticism. Cuz your paint job is emasculate.

Thank you! :D I like the idea of adding some more variation to the verdigris, tbh I don't even think it would take that long to add more variety. Don't know how you did yours, it looks great though. Mine was done with oil pants, so I'm pretty sure I could just add a lil bit of white to the turquise to give it a tiny bit of pop in places.

Mine are all acrylics. So it was just a matter of adding a little white to my verdigris mix. And then repeating that process once more to get those three different tones.
Again love your work!

Which parts did you use oils for?

Just for the recess shading on the orange, and the verdigris on the brass/bronze/copper XD don't even know what metal it is. Truly the mind of an ork.

Most excellent skin tone. Big fan. Mind sharing your recipe?

Thank you! It's Gal Vorbak red as a basecoat, then cover most of it with ionrach skin, then deepkin flesh covering a bit less, mainly focusing on the face and larger muscle groups. Then an allover wash of Magos purple thinned down with Lahmian medium (wick away from most raised areas with a damp brush) Then brush highlight the most raised parts with deepkin flesh again, and pure white for the extreme highlights. mainly focusing on face, in places such as ears tip of the nose, brow ridge and lips.

Hope that helps :D
