Thanks for all your suggestions! Speaking about the Ork Skin, I believe it's due to the flashlight of my camera, they look so pale. I'll take another photo of the Waaghboss in daylight tomorrow, perhaps this will do it. I've already tried some drybrushing. The Waaaghboss has five layers of green on it's skin. But I'll have to try your tips about the inks/washes. I never thought about that, it really might add some structure. As for highlighting/shading, the Standard Bearer was my first attempt. I think the robe looks good, but some of the details, especially the wooden box on top of the standard need more highlights.

Here is another picture showing my first painted vehicle. I use it as transport for my Waaghboss and his crew. Sadly, I messed up the checkboard patterns on the front panel:

I like the job done on the vehicle k:

Ah, but so would an Ork, so in fact it's ok. That's a big advantage when painting orks, easy to cover mistakes!

I agree with Beef-boy.

Beef-boy? Makes me sound like a superhero sidekick. Maybe Robin's slightly older gay lover...

But still they all look very nice.

First off all...

This is NOT my model!!!

This is just a picture of an Ork Warboss on a Wyvern. I have this model at my house, and I am currently painting it. The reason I wanted to show you all this one, is that Bobbin might see what green ink and lots of layers of paint can do to the skin of his orks.

Enjoy.

I'll post mine when I arrive in Norway.

It's always nice to see, what the guys at GW are capable of. I'll have to paint tons of models until I reach that skill.
Somehow I liked the older version of the Ork Warboss more. But the Wyvern is much cooler than before.
These citadel miniature crafters simply have it.

No. You just have to try harder and always try something new in regards to techniques.

Here is my Wyvern. Still in the progress of painting it. But you can see how many layers I have used to get the colours correct.

I'll place the whole thing in my own art topic. I hope this gives you some ideas, Bobbin. Try to highlight your orc skin more with different variations of green. k:

WOWZA! :crazy:
You really got the talent to paint. My colouring sucks so I usually do art B&W.
