Colorful savages!

I figure I'd just throw these pictures up here to show that A) I am alive, and trying to update semi-regularly, and B) I am, in fact, painting.

These were taken with my phone's camera, as my current camera is indisposed at the moment. It just gets the point across, though!

Yes, I am painting these orks almost entirely with washes thusfar. Consider it an experiment - I'm starting with white primer, and wash-wash-washing my way to normal looking models using the Citadel washes; devlan mud on the lower halves, and gryphonne sepia on the upper halves that have shirts. A couple washes of both go on the mask. As painting goes, it doesn't look all that bad (though I will get you better pictures within a couple days for the sake of proving this), and it's super easy, since the washes basically make the model paint itself - great for someone like me, who has minimal time free. Farther down the line, I will get a detail brush and pick out the things on the shirts like straps and what have you - actual painting - but for now, this is nice.

I think they'll look better once I get the skintones on there, but I'm going to do all the clothing first, before I move on to things like metal and skin.

  1. The GW washes perform wonderfully. I’d suggest following the wash with a heavy drybrush. Performs miracles.

  2. I painted my entire Necron army the same way and finished with drybrushing like Kroot suggests. It won’t win you any awards but I really like that you can pop out entire squads in two or three quick sessions.
