The hero of 'The Mighty Madcaps' team. I'm not entirely sure he can be trusted, but I really dig the sculpt.

Ork Skin

  1. Basecoat with a mix of Averland Sunset and Skarsnik Green . I make the ratio about 1:1, but add a little more Skarsnik Green , so it reads as green and not yellow.
  2. Shade recesses with Biel-Tan Green . Use a combination of glazing and traditional recess shading.
  3. Run small amounts of Coelia Greenshade into deep recesses with a fine brush. Mix in a little Contrast Medium if you want to make it easier to handle.
  4. Add general highlights to the skin with Ogryn Camo .
  5. Now apply fine highlights with Krieg Khaki .
  6. Glaze Kislev Flesh over ear tips, lips, the nose, knuckles and elbows.
  7. Add final selective and specular highlights of 1:1 Screaming Skull and White .

Red Eyes

  1. Basecoat with Khorne Red .
  2. Paint the inner part of the eye with Evil Sunz Scarlet .
  3. Paint a small highlight of Troll Slayer Orange in the middle of the eye, to represent the iris.
  4. Finish with an even smaller, specular highlight of Ice Yellow .

Teeth

  1. Pick out teeth with Rhinox Hide , using this as shading too.
  2. Pick out the majority of the tooth with Zandri Dust .
  3. Highlight teeth with Screaming Skull .
  4. Selectively highight with Wraithbone .
  5. Add very small/specular highlights with White .

Black Trenchcoat

  1. Basecoat with Black .
  2. Glaze with 4:1 Abaddon Black and Kantor Blue . The aim here is to cover most of the cloth, avoiding recesses and pulling your brush towards adges. I like to do this in scratchy lines to add texture.
  3. Take the above colour and mix it 1:1 with Administratum Grey . Ad general highlights using scratchy lines like above. Make these highlights fatter than your normal chunky highlight, and feel free to throw in an occasional larger "scratch".
  4. Mix the paint from the above step 1:1 again, then apply chunky highlight within the previous stage. Keep them scratchy still.
  5. Take even more Administratum Grey and mix it 1:1 with the paint from the last stage. The colour should now be similar in tone to Dawnstone . Use this pain to edge highlight everything.
  6. Enhance the previous stages highlights with selective highlights of pure Administratum Grey .
  7. Finish with very small/specular highlights of Grey Seer .

Stitching

  1. Basecoat with Steel Legion Drab .
  2. Edge highlight with Karak Stone .
  3. Selectively highlight with 1:1 Karak Stone and White .
  4. Finish with specular highlights of White .

Chequered Pattern

  1. Basecoat with Black .
  2. Pick out the pattern with 1:1 Celestra Grey and White
  3. Shade around recesses of the white area with Administratum Grey .
  4. Define the recesses further with a small amount of Dawnstone .
  5. Highlight with small amounts of White .
  6. Add small highlights to the black squares with The Fang .
  7. Apply selective highlights of Blue Horror if/where needed.

Red Cloth

  1. Basecoat with 1:1 Khorne Red & Doombull Brown .
  2. Mix Khorne Red & Abaddon Black 1:1, thin it down and shade the recesses.
  3. Highlight with a 1:1 mix of your base colour and Jokaero Orange .
  4. With pure Jokaero Orange add fine highlights.
  5. Selectively highlight with 1:1 Jokaero Orange and Ushabti Bone .
  6. Finish of with specular highlights of Screaming Skull , where needed.
