Ork Skin
- 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.
- Shade recesses with Biel-Tan Green . Use a combination of glazing and traditional recess shading.
- 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.
- Add general highlights to the skin with Ogryn Camo .

- Glaze Kislev Flesh over ear tips, lips, the nose, knuckles and elbows.
- Add final selective and specular highlights of 1:1 Screaming Skull and White .
